The document provides guidance on making instructional technology integration decisions by considering student characteristics, learning environments, and lesson objectives. It outlines factors to consider like gender, knowledge, and special needs for students, and physical settings, resources, and constraints for environments. Examples are given of applying the GRADE framework to develop technology-integrated lessons for different social studies classes on elections, with varying student profiles and access to a computer lab or classroom. The impact of students and environments on decisions, and whether objectives changed with different technology choices, are also discussed.
