Abstract

The paper "Global Perspectives on Educational Technology Integration" explores the multifaceted approaches to integrating technology into educational systems around the world. It examines how different countries and regions are adopting technology to enhance teaching and learning practices, with a focus on the potential benefits and challenges encountered. The analysis begins by identifying the key aspects of educational technology integration, including infrastructure, access, pedagogical strategies, and teacher training. It then delves into comparative case studies, comparing and contrasting the successes and failures of technology integration in various global contexts. The paper highlights the importance of cultural considerations, policy frameworks, and funding models in shaping the adoption of educational technology. Furthermore, it discusses the implications of digital literacy and the role of technology in bridging the gap between traditional and modern educational approaches. The conclusion underscores the need for a holistic approach to educational technology integration, emphasizing collaboration, sustainability, and the pursuit of inclusive education for all.
