Communication & Integration

 There are a lot of things that one might want to communicate when introducing the concept of technology integration to a specific group of stakeholders. First, parents must see how beneficial it is to incorporate the technology as another tool to student success. We need to show them actual data that can support student engagement and student academic achievement so that they can see just how much their students can grow using the device we incorporate.  Another concept that we might want to communicate is the understanding of how to use the device. Many parents and teachers struggle with using technology. Because they are unaware of how to use a device they might be resistant to using it at all. Taking the time to teach them the basics may allow them to come around! Another concept to include is our purpose with using the device. We want stakeholders to know that the device is not just for fun and games. We want them to know our goals with the device.
