Teachers often wonder how to integrate technology in their classroom. The journey toward a new literacies framework can be frustrating. Teachers must be flexible, collaborate with others, and recognize frustration as a sign of growth. Often, they must address issues of design, redesign, and multimodality in relation to technology and literacy teaching. Teachers that make the journey, however, will come to realize that technology integration, like teaching, is challenging but rewarding.
