Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study on four elementary teachers' technology integration practices. Boyatzis' (1998) thematic analysis technique was used to examine interview transcripts, observation notes, and teacher-produced documents for pedagogical practices that accompanied uses of computer technology in these teachers' classrooms. Emergent patterns borne out by the data resulted in a general conclusion that best teaching practices and best technology integration practices go hand-in-hand. Educators should not be overly impressed by the mere use of technology in instruction. They need to be discerning about the pedagogy that accompanies its use.
