Teacher Brief: Collaborating for Effective Technology Integration

Lescault, T. & Codding, D. (2026). Collaborating for Effective Technology Integration.

Technology integration is most effective when it is purposeful, collaborative, and connected to student learning goals. Collaboration between teachers and instructional technology specialists, coaches, librarians, curriculum leaders, and colleagues can help educators identify meaningful ways to use technology that enhance learning rather than simply adding another tool to the classroom. This brief aims to achieve the following:

  • Clarify the purpose of technology-integration collaborations.
  • Address common misconceptions.
  • Provide actionable steps for teachers.
  • Highlight benefits for students.
  • Support teachers in growing toward independent, confident technology integration.
