Purpose: I will research how the computer labs on my campus are utilized to effectively integrate technology.
Significance: The stakeholders who will benefit from this study are the students, teachers, and technology staff. Students benefit because “technology can have the greatest impact when integrated into the curriculum to achieve clear, measurable educational objectives” (Cradler, McNabb, Freeman, Burchett, 2002, p. 47). The teachers benefit because our current C-Scope curriculum does not provide technology applications TEKS. My research will provide suggestions and plans for improvement as our campus seeks to become fully integrated. The technology staff will benefit, because my research will reveal who is utilizing the lab as well as the programs that are being utilized for integration. The technology specialist is then able to align resources for maximum, efficient, teacher and student use.

I am very interested in your research topic. We must integrate technology into curriculum. I have seen some researchers advocate getting away from labs and integrate computer or learning pods in classrooms. Interesting topic. Looking forward to reading more. Good luck!
