COVID-19 and Technology Integration
COVID-19 changed the perspective of many teachers that had to adapt to the online world when face-to-face interaction became impossible during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Emergency teaching differs from online teaching where teachers are prepared and apt to teach because they have the knowledge and the right tools such as computer literacy and digital literacy.[1] It is important to highlight the importance of schools providing the tools for teachers, some schools lack the proper pieces of equipment which prevents many teachers to become technologically literate. Lack of funds is one of the first challenges for the implementation of technology integration.[2] Teachers that were forced to teach online had to not only pedagogy knowledge as well as technical knowledge. Many times was necessary to have the advanced technical knowledge to solve problems that would arouse in a virtual environment. [1]
Studies show that technology integration can be accomplished at any given time, regardless of age, experience, and teaching knowledge.[1] Consequently, teachers that are more technologically literate are more likely to have positive attitudes toward technology integration than teachers that don't feel comfortable with technology.[3]
COVID-19 training for teachers was made to prepare them to survive the emergency teaching needs because of the pandemic.[1]
Researchers found out that some universities offered email addresses that can be used to acquire education tools but some universities didn't even provide Helpdesk to support them during COVID-19.[1]
During COVID-19 applications such as Microsoft Team, Google Workplace, Microsoft Office, Canva, Youtube, Kahoot! and Zoom were some of the most used technologies by teachers in the new virtual environment. [1]
Researches show that student engagement and interaction diminished were many students didn't want to turn the video camera on during virtual sessions. Communication between students and between teachers and school staff was less frequent than in face-to-face interaction.[1]
The benefits of technology integration in school include engagement, enhanced skills, and collaborative learning.[2] Teachers are usually responsible to coordinate the technology integration in classrooms, they have to know how to create a great technological environment for their students.[3]

Article body An ePortfolio is a collection of student work that exhibits the student's achievements in one or more areas over time. Components in a typical student ePortfolio might contain creative writings, paintings, photography, math explorations, music, and videos. Also, it is a collection of work developed across varied contexts over time. The portfolio can advance learning by providing students and/or faculty with a way to organize, archive and display pieces of work.
