Technology integration in schools has made it

possible for students to learn on a new level while ensuring that tried and true methods are still provided in a comfortable learning environment. To keep students engaged and actively learning relevant material, different types of technology has found its way into the classroom. You can expect to see anything from smart boards or interactive whiteboards to digital textbooks, and even online simulations in today’s classroom.

.Teachers have always used tools to help them present the material to be learned. Some of these tools we classify today as "low tech"---such things as chalk and chalkboards, magic markers and poster paper; others by comparison have been more "high tech"---tape recorders, 8 mm movie projectors, film strip projectors, slide projectors, overhead projectors, VCRs, and laser disc players.
