I define technology as any means by which information is transferred. In the field of education, this could include but is not limited to simple tools such as an overhead to a more advance tool such as a whiteboard. Technology can be defined as a set of tools used to share information.
Integration would depend on subject matter as well as grade level. It could be as simple as a power point presentation in a class to something more complicated such as an electronically researched and created presentation on any given topic. It could be something rigid such as a canned program designed to reinforce specific skills to something free form such as an original web page. Technology also allows for interaction between individuals. The power point presentation may spur debate and conversation in class whereas a blog may allow the audience time to reflect before responding.
