The Socio-Ecological Technology Integration (SETI) Framework

The Socio-Ecological Technology Integration (SETI) Framework is for those who understand that technology integration is more than just having access to technology.

For educators to integrate technology, they need so much more than just having access to technology. This framework highlights the social and ecological factors that need to be taken into account, such as training, tech support, and policies. At the same time, it takes into account individual beliefs and national socio-cultural tech norms.

This framework supports educators and educational leaders in understanding all the aspects that ensure effective technology integration.
