About this ebook
In December of 2015, the Joan Ganz Cooney Centre reported that there were over 80,000 apps in the Apple App Store in Education alone. In addition, there is a lot of pressure on teachers to use educational technology in the classroom to help students develop 21st century skills. However, with that many choices how are educators supposed to narrow it down to the tool they should use with their students? Plus, once they have chosen a digital tool, how should they use it in their classroom to most benefit student learning? These types of questions can make using educational technology very daunting. Developed based on research for a Master of Education, this book outlines The Bunz Model of Technology Integration and Evaluation which guides educators through the process of effectively evaluating and integrating educational technology into a lesson or unit.

Chapter 1
The Bunz Model of Technology Integration and Evaluation
The use of technology within the classroom can be a daunting idea due to a lack of confidence to transition from traditional teaching methods to technology-enhanced methods. The teacher’s environment, attitude, confidence, and ability all affect their decision of whether to use technology in the classroom or not.
