Technology takes down the walls of the classroom and enables students to access information in ways they otherwise could not. With so much technology, how is it effectively integrated into education? In a recent article, Shazmeen Mengal (2023), provides steps to effectively implement technology into education environments. These steps offer guidance on using and integrating new technology seamlessly, while assessing which tools align to the classroom needs and personalizing the learning experience to the specific audience. The author concludes that the success of technology integration requires a planned approach and using that technology as a tool to enhance the educational experience.

I recommend this article for anyone who works in education and is looking to implement new technology into their online classroom. The step-by-step guide provides useful insights by asking questions to ensure that the technology being chosen aligns with the objectives and curriculum in mind. These steps also keep the classroom needs front of mind by asking what is trying to be achieved with this implementation. These steps of technology integration are briefly described and are a great starting point for anyone looking to improve their online classroom environment.
