Technology Integration Matrix for K-12 Teachers

A Great New Technology Integration Matrix for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

I just received this technology integration matrix from a fellow teacher and want you have a look. I have spent some time going through its content and I really liked it. This will definitely help you better leverage the power of technology in your classroom. This matrix is created by Arizona K12  and is available for free download in PDF format from this link. The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology  to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent  characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed  (i.e.reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.
