Use of technology to aid education

**Technology integration** is the use of technology in classrooms to support student learning, as well as for school management.[1] Technology integration includes practises such as [virtual classrooms](/source/Virtual_classroom), [gamified learning](/source/Gamification_of_learning), and use of the internet to research and collaborate. The use of technology integration increased after the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic).[2]

Studies have shown that technology integration is not always positive.[2] Taking notes using a [laptop](/source/Laptop) instead of handwriting has been found to decrease the learning ability of students.[3]
