What Does it Mean to Integrate Technology in the Classroom?

Colleagues,

In her recent introduction, new member Karen Hill wrote that she is interested in integrating technology in the classroom. Since integrating technology in the classroom is at the heart of the Technology and Learning Community, although it has been discussed here before I would like to create a new discussion thread now to learn more about:

1. What it means to "integrate" technology in the classroom: what you may mean by "technology" and how you think "integrating" and "technology" may have have changed in meaning as new "technology" has become available

2. How  you or other adult basic skills (including ESOL/ESL) teachers are integrating technology, and what you think are best practices

3. What opportunities and challenges teachers are finding in integrating technology in teaching and learning, and

4. What your questions might be about integrating technology in the classroom.
