===Group One STAGES OF EFFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY USE Take into account your students' level of familiarity with the technology. This helps to identify your students' level of prior knowledge and potentially how much class time will need to be used teaching students how to use the technology. If that time would be extensive a different method may be required. Use of technology should be tied to learning targets and not viewed as an end in and of itself. This will ensure that the content of the curriculum remains at the forefront of the learning experience. Lessons that use technology should invite students to discover and apply their own new and different ways of using that technology. This will ensure that students are able to transfer their emerging understanding of technological tools beyond the classroom.
