Are You Using or Integrating Technology?

Aditi Rao has put together a great chart contrasting "Using Technology" with "Technology Integration".

I am reminded of the SAMR model about which I recently posted.  If all you are doing is replacing a low-level pencil-and-paper activity with a low-level online activity, then the computer is no more than a $1000 pencil, as Alan November says.  One of the things I have tried to do this year, in face-to-face conversations as well as through this blog and my weekly emails, is to ask the question "What do you want to accomplish with your instruction?"  Rather than asking "what device?" or "what app?", we always need to think about instruction first.
