In fact, students in our public schools are considered digital natives and have become accustomed to always being connected to their devices and the Internet. In 2013, 71 percent of the US population age 3 and older used the Internet (Snyder, de Brey, & Dillow, 2016) . Given the importance technology plays in our lives, schools now have a responsibility to integrate it into teaching and learning and prepare students for 21st Century skills and careers (Cakir, 2012; Luterberbach & Brown, 2011) . Although classrooms may have access to many technology devices, there are several external and internal factors that affect the proper implementation of technology in classrooms. In preparing students to be college and career ready, technology integration is imperative. This paper will discuss factors such as poor infrastructure, inadequate technology, lack of sufficient technological tools, effective professional development (external factors), low teacher self-efficacy and teacher perceptions (internal factors) that affect technology integration in PK-12 schools.  \nKeywords: technology integration, self-efficacy, digital literacy, digital natives, 21stcentury skills  \nIn today's culture, you will be hard-pressed to find a child of any age not plugged into some form of technology. Students today are considered digital natives and are immersed daily in the world of interactive technology such as mobile phones, iPods, television on demand, and other limitless resources that provide the answer to any question with just a few clicks of a keyboard or taps on a screen. Over the past few years, technology has become a major tool used in just about every career field and has provided educators with a valuable resource to support teaching and learning (Mac Callum, Jeffrey, & Kinshuk, 2014) . The traditional model of education with lectures and students sitting in straight rows is no longer sufficient. Schools now have a responsibility to integrate technology into the curriculum and prepare students for 21st Century skills and careers (Cakir, 2012; Luterberbach and Brown, 2011) .  \nPractically speaking, there is an obvious need for students to be prepared to use technology to compete in the 21st-century global economy. Technology is an essential life skill in the workforce. Students who are technologically savvy often have a better chance of getting a job and excelling in their careers (Savage & Brown, 2015) . However, the task of integrating technology into classroom instruction in a meaningful and state-of-the-art way remains challenging (Pittman & Gaines, 2015) . Although classrooms may have access to technology initiatives, there are several circumstances that affect the proper implementation of technology in classrooms such as poor infrastructure, inadequate technology, lack of sufficient technological tools, effective professional development (external factors), low teacher self-efficacy and teacher perceptions (internal factors) . In preparing students to be college and career ready, technology integration is imperative. This paper will discuss those external and internal factors that affect technology integration in PK-12 schools.  \nExternal Factors Limiting Technology Integration  \nPoor Infrastructure  \nThere is a revolution underway in K-12 classrooms as school districts and boards move to adopt a new style of classrooms and pedagogy focused on mobile learning. To succeed, the move to anywhere, anytime learning must be supported by a strong foundation in technology, particularly network infrastructure (Build the 21st Century Classroom, 2018) . By focusing on the right technological advances in network management and security from the right vendor, school districts can prepare their classrooms for tomorrow’s networking needs.
