The NTeQ model stands for iNtegrating Technology for inQuiry. It is a framework for educators to integrate technology effectively into their lesson plans. It focuses on using technology as a tool for student-centered learning. Also, on inquiry and discovery rather than simply delivering instruction or practicing skills.
