2. Three categories in which technology uses can be placed. __Literacy__: The instructional focus is learning the technology and how to use it. __Adapting__: An existing learning experience or student product is altered slightly ..............so that it involves the use of technology. Students could achieve similar learning ..............whether or not technology had been included. __Transforming__: A learning experience was created that could not have taken place ..............easily, or at such a high level, if the technology had not been available. Although the transforming level is the goal of technology integration, each level has its place within a best practices classroom. Students cannot use a tool at a higher level until they first learn how to use it. Adapting an existing lesson to integrate technology is necessary for some teachers to establish a skill and comfort level from which they can grow.
