Ease of Use
quot;I like that the only knowledge you need
to know before you begin is just basic
computer skills. It allows the content to
open up and come alive on the screen.quot;
Learning how to use the technology module
required relatively little help from others.

Integration
Technology can be incorporated into the
existing curriculum in almost any subject.
The key is to begin with the standard and
learning objective you want students to
achieve and then incorporate technology
effectively.
The technology module was well integrated with
the rest of the course.

when technology is used in the
classroom.
The technology module contributed to my
understanding of the course material.

               Question 8
Value
I never realized how blind I was when it
came to integrating technology ... At first I
was unable to make a connection between
technology and speech therapy, but with
more information later on, a light bulb went
on and I finally pieced together what I was
missing.
This course would have been better without the
technology module.
