Abstract
This paper serves to examine technology integration through the context of school culture. By exploring my personal experiences with professional development I begin to unpack the complexity of change models in schools in relation to technology integration. The literature highlights three concepts that I believe is essential in understanding how to effectively integrate technology into educational systems; technology and its applications in education, professional development models and to what degree the effect of school culture influences technology changes. The project plan outlines a four stage process of initiating technology change through school culture that promotes collegiality and sustainability for promising results based on the research and personal professional observations and experiences.
