=LaBanca's Levels of Technology Integration Schema=

Dr. Frank LaBanca (2009) has developed a schema that helps to focus learners on three levels of technology integration. This schema can be used to structure strategies, format and activities for technology integration.

Technology Integration Schema Level 1: Retrofitting- presents information in the same way, whether using traditional tools such as a chalkboard or overhead, or technology such as a computer.

Level 2: Retooling- provides options with access to new items, like adding hyperlinks to a presentation that enable students to participate in a virtual tour of a museum or interact with a math manipulative online.

Level 3: Reconfiguring- changes the role of students from consumers of information to producers of information and typically involves Web 2.0 for a bi-directional flow of information and feedback between students and the local or global communities.
