Introduction : 

The usability of technology has put a new spin on education, redefining the role of educators and reshaping classroom learning experiences. A major movement today is the integration of technology into the classroom. No Child Left Behind, legislation in January 2002, requires states to demonstrate that "every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade”. Introduction

Debunking the“no significant differences” claim “…the term technology integration has been used by so many people to mean so many different things that it is in danger of eventually losing any specific meaning…” (Leping, Maddux, Johnson, 2008, 2)

Conclusion : 

Conclusion As the teacher uses new technology in the classroom, it becomes apparent that the students will learn. The need for these resources will continue into the future and beyond. Remember that the 10 top jobs today did not even have names 20 years ago. As teachers you are preparing students for the jobs without names or what they will do.
