As our classrooms and libraries becomes more tech-centric and our students become more immersed in the world of technology it is important to examine how technology impacts teaching and learning. It is no longer enough to just provide the technology in our schools and institutions. It is imperative to examine the level of student engagement and how technology affects pedagogy and the delivery of content.

Pedagogy: Teachers’ deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning including overall educational purposes, values, and aims. Understanding how students learn, how to manage classrooms, how to plan, and how to assess student learning are part of pedagogical knowledge (Koehler & Mishra, 2009).
- Examining the SAMR Model of Technology Integration: The SAMR model was created by Ruben R. Puentedura. The purpose of his model is to help educators examine the levels at which they are using technology. Really using technology effectively means creating the kind of tasks that redesign traditional ways of learning and also teaching. We need to create opportunities that students did not have without the use of technology. Research supports a connection between student academic growth and student-centered activities such as collaborative information gathering, solving real-world problems, and using technology to create new representations of knowledge. Finally, the successful use of technology in the classroom must also emphasize a rethinking of pedagogy. Part of our efforts as administrators and teachers means shifting our focus from promoting technology tools and instead supporting teachers in designing technology-enabled learning experiences.
