“Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally” (Harris, 2005, p.116).

Technology is fundamental for today's educator both for the completing of daily administrative tasks and for classroom instructional activities. When using technology in the classroom, access to such technology as television, print, teleconferencing, and on-line resources have assisted teachers in creating innovative methods for curriculum delivery and construct new opportunities for learning on a regular basis (CMEC 2006).
