Getting students to see the underlying connections between seemingly unrelated subject areas can be a difficult task. Getting them to see technology as a way to help build and reinforce those connections can also prove challenging. In this issue of Technology Turning Points, teachers discuss ways in which you can make technology an integral part of an integrated learning experience.Help your students and yourself by learning how to build integrated projects with core subject teachers. Not only will you better engage the interest and enthusiasm of your students, you will also gain valuable insight from your colleagues as well!
