Technology integration is based on a lot of research and case studies. The main models that I like to  keep in mind when working with teachers are listed below.



 TPACK

The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) conceptual framework was created by Mishra and Koehler and describes the use of ICT in learning and for professional work. 
The framework is represented in a venn diagram and highlights the idea that using ICT in the classroom must have a sound curriculum fit and meet the pedagogical ideas of the teacher.  


21st Century Fluencies 


21st Century Fluencies is a set of skills identified as crucial for our students to succeed when they graduate in todays ever changing world. 
They comprise of the following:

Solution Fluency is the ability to think creatively to solve problems in real tim, by clearly defining the problem, designing an appropriate solution, delivering the solution and then evaluating the process and the outcome. 

Information Fluency is the ability to unconsciously and intuitively interpret information in all forms and formats.

Creativity Fluency is the process by which artistic proficiency adds meaning through design, art, and storytelling.

Collaboration Fluency is the ability to work cooperatively with virtual and real partners in an online environment to solve problems and create original products.

Media Fluency is the ability to look analytically at any communication to interpret the real message, as well as being able to create original communications though the most appropriate and effective medium.

SAMR

The SAMR model describes four levels of technology integration that increase in complexity and effect, from simple substitution which barely changes the function, to a more complex redefinition where the technology use can provide opportunities to create what would not be possible without that technology


Australian Curriculum- General Capabilities. 


If we look at the main ideas in the Australian Curriculum General Capabilities we need to focus on Investigating , Creating and Communicating.  These skills are broad and can be taught in any context. As an overarching goal we need to make sure that the students are making Ethical decisions and looking at good digital citizenship content can help guide students to work ethically online.
