The Verizon Thinkfinity Integration Framework embodies principles from a coaching/mentoring model in which an educator can clarify and advance ideas for integrating a digital resource that is pedagogically sound and enhances student learning.

It is a process that includes a series of five specific steps to guide teachers as they:

	Design and customize technology-enriched learning experiences to engage students in activities that deepen understanding in core subject areas and promote the development of 21st century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and communication
	Facilitate student learning by recognizing preferred learning styles, work strategies, abilities and developmental levels, then develop and use specific instructional strategies to effectively differentiate learning experiences
