Frameworks for Technology Integration Source: Myeltcafe This week we dove into evaluating ourselves where we fall within the different stages of implementing Educational Technology into our classroom.

In the Augmentation Level, technology acts as a direct substitute with functional improvement. I would say replacement of projection technology with Smart Boards falls into the Augmentation level.
