The topic of integrating technology into the college or university classroom is a broad one. Technology choices abound today and run the gamut from tools to enhance classroom presentations to complex software for enabling cooperation and collaboration over the Internet. Learning how to use these choices effectively for education is an ongoing process, not one that can take place in a week or two out of a single course. Among the steps are

• Learning what is available to use, both generally and in a specific situation.

• Learning how to use different technologies such as computers, projectors, digital cameras, video cameras, and many others. In addition to these types of hardware, there is a wide variety of software programs that might be mastered that can improve our teaching and our teaching materials.

• Just knowing how to use a specific technology is not necessarily the same as knowing how to use it effectively to teach, so there are many skills to be learned in applying these skills as well.

This module is meant as an introduction to these topics, with links and other resources that can let individuals explore them further.
