Integrating technology into teaching and learning using variety of models

Abstract

By means of the innovations on Information and Communication Technology, people are able to rapidly learn and transferring information becomes easier. Technological devices such as computers, mobile gadgets and Internet are essential in our daily lives and using those technologies is not a luxury for us anymore but a necessity. Keeping up with those innovations and using them in our lives is the key factor for being a knowledge society. Not only having those technologies in classroom and at school but also knowing how to use them is important. Also, it should be recalled that those technologies are more than just transferring learning materials to a digital environment because they are expected to provide communication, cooperation and meta-cognition. In this study, comprehensive processes of applying technology to the curriculum models are examined in detail.
