Educational technology has the benefit of creating active learning environments in both online and face-to-face classrooms. With the globalization of education, numerous educational tools and resources have been developed to create authentic learning experiences in the classroom.

With so many options, understanding how to select tools and how they can be integrated into instruction is important and thus is the focus of this entry.
