+
This section combines a quick hardware review along with some pedagogy that will be helpful on the TExES EC-12 Tech Apps exam. Pedagogy in this area (like others) is difficult to assess. When confronted with pedagagy questions, always ask "What's best for students? " Remember that it's not the latest and greatest hardware and software that accomplishes technology integration- but rather a teacher who is comfortable with technology. Technology motivates, but it's the teacher that gets the job done! Make sure your answers are curriculum-focused. Technology is just a vehicle to accomplish core curriculum objectives.
