                               Using and integrating is different words from each other. If technology is only used by teachers for the purpose of teaching learning process it called “Use of technology” and if technology is part of students’ life also it called “Integrating technology”.

                                    If technology is part of routine life of students and teachers in process of teaching and learning it calls “Integrating technology”.
