W e l e a dEmerging Technologies Acceptance
• The acceptance of change is a major requirement for technology integration.
• Technology is continuously changing. It is an ongoing process, therefore it demands continual learning.
• Technology integration is achieved when technology is accessible and readily available for the task at hand
• Technology integration is achieved when technology tools support the curricular goals, and help the students to reach their goals.• Students are more actively engaged in projects when technology
integration is crucial for the learning process.
