This action research study examined how the integration of technology in a second grade ELA classroom impacted levels of student engagement. Research was conducted to investigate how utilizing various technological tools to meet learning goals and objectives in the classroom impacted levels of student engagement as perceived by the students and classroom teacher. The study employed a mixed-methods approach of data collecting. Research was collected and recorded twice a week for a total of six weeks. In order to better identify and validate the study's findings, the researcher used field notes, interviews, questionnaires, and checklists as the data collection sources used to measure student engagement. The action research study sought to determine if incorporating the use of various technological tools to aid and assist the teacher with meeting the intended learning goals and objectives had an impact on levels of student engagement. The results revealed positive benefits between student engagement and instructional practices that integrate the use of educational technology. The study also outlines an action plan to further inform, improve, and build upon the knowledge gleaned from its findings. The results also have the potential to positively benefit and inform the fields of education, instructional technology, educational technology, and professional growth and development programs for current educators and those enrolled in training programs.
