Abstract

This chapter highlights technology integration, particularly its growing popularity in early elementary circles in the United States. Issues and solutions are explored regarding how early elementary (PK-3) teachers can integrate technology into the classroom setting. Topics focus on professional development (PD) in the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and substitution augmentation modification redefinition (SAMR) frameworks. Proper technology integration discussions include content areas like mathematics, literacy, and social-emotional learning. Further research is needed to fully understand effective technology integration in early elementary settings, especially in public school systems in the U.S.
