Technology Integration:Factors to consider
• Labs– General use– Special purpose
• Mobile labs– Lap tops and PDA’s
• Classroom Workstations• Stand-alone classroom computers
Types of facilities you might use
• Find real learning problems that technology will help with
• Examples– Topic is difficult to understand
because concepts are abstract– Learning skills are difficult or time
consuming – Materials are too expensive,
dangerous or far away
For proper integration…

Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Phase 1: Determine relative advantage
• Why should I use a technology-based method?
• What is the problem I am addressing?
• Do technology-based methods offer a solution with sufficient relative advantage?

Examples of Relative Advantage
• Visual examples clarify concepts.
• Up-to-date information is available.
• Active participation is motivating for students.
• Feedback to students is immediate.
Consider UDL goals and rationale for technology integration.
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Phase 2: Decide objectives and assessments
• How will I know students have learned?
•What outcomes do I expect from using the new methods?
•What are the best ways of assessing these outcomes?

Types of Standards and Assessments
• State, Local and National Standards
• Traditional Assessment
• Rubrics
• Checklists
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Phase 3: Design integration strategies
• What teaching strategies and activities will work best?
•What kinds of instructional methods are needed?
•How can technology best support these methods?
•How can I prepare students adequately to use technologies?
2.11
Design Integration Strategies: Questions to
Consider
• Behaviorist, Cognitivist, Constructivist or a combination?
• Single Subject or Interdisciplinary
• Individual or Group
• Sequence (before, during and after the computer)
• How will I teach the technology skills?
• Time frame
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Phase 4: Prepare the instructional environment
• Are essential conditions in place to support technology integration?
•What equipment, software, media, and materials will I need?
•How should resources be arranged to support instruction and learning?
•What planning is required to make sure technology resources work well?

Prepare the Instructional Environment
• Address Copyright, Legal/Ethical Issues
• Assure Safety & Privacy
• Assure Equity for Students with Special Needs
• Ensure Smooth Classroom Operations/Supplies/Logistics
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Phase 5: Evaluate and revise integration strategies
• What worked well? What could be improved?
• How well has the technology integration strategy worked?
• What could be improved to make it work better?
