I have used as my __example of an effective technology integration__ the use of the software program Edusoft. This program allows teachers to make quizzes that can be graded using a scanner. It saves time and offers immediate feedback to students. This is why it is an effective technology integration example. There are other assessment programs available for teachers. FCAT explorer is an interactive learning program that gives students immediate feedback and gives teachers an printout of student grades. Watch the JING below to better understand this program and how to operate it.

For my example of an __educational teachnology in context__ I have used the software program FCAT Exporer.

The ILS also aligns to state standards and objectives. When a school selects an ILS to use careful well-planned review is essential. Review involves the pedegogical strategies used and the content addressed. The usefulness of the reports the ILs produces need to also be taken into consideration.
