8. Describe a learning situation that illustrates the difference between technology that is integrated into a lesson and technology that is tacked onto a lesson (chap. 5).
The difference between a integrated lesson and a lesson that's tacked on is a integrated lesson actually works technology in the lesson and can teach another subject at the same time. A integrated lesson will be well planned out and organized. It will also have a assessment to go along with the lesson. A example of a technology integrated lesson would be teaching children about a certain content and then teaching them how to construct a concept map about the content. This teaches them about a certain subject and then teaches them something about technology to go with it. a technology assignment that is just tacked onto a lesson would be poorly planned and not well organized the teaches would have most likely just thrown in technology into the lesson.
