Essay Prompt:
First, conduct a SWOT analysis of your technology integration. This analysis should cover the
four (4) categories Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. You will submit this
analysis with the essay.
A SWOT analysis provides a clear baseline regarding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats of your chosen technology. There are many templates available online that you might wish to
research before beginning your analysis work. Education World has a very short article that may also
help to organize your thoughts:

technologies you have selected work together to enhance the learning environment. (Note: Place
this at the beginning of the paper as the Introduction.)
Provide a short description in one or two (1 or 2) paragraphs, of a class or module to frame your
SWOT analysis. As you move through the analysis, keep in mind that your selected technologies
must help to support instructional goals and learning outcomes.
Using each portion of your SWOT analysis, include three to five (3-5) examples of how your
technologies provide strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats. You must support these
examples with clear rationale and research. These are NOT to be written as simple bullet points
without detailed information.
Provide a hypothetical timeline (of between six [6] months and a year) for the project
development and implementation.
Provide a summary of the main points of your analysis and at least three (3) recommendations for
the implementation of the new technologies in a summary paragraph.
