2. Technology Integration: Factors to consider

3. Types of facilities you might use
Labs
General use
Special purpose
Mobile labs
Lap tops and PDA’s
Classroom Workstations
Stand-alone classroom computers

4. For proper integration…
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

6. 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?

7. 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.

8. 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?

Time frame

12. 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?
