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 as
illustrated below.
Anne Bubnic on 21 Aug 08This site is intended to assist K-12 school districts and other K-12 entities in developing their own Acceptable Use Policy for use of the K-20 Network. Since "local control" is a major tenet of K-12 education in Washington state, it is up to each district to determine what elements they wish to include in their own policy, and if they wish to include other elements not contained in the template that has been provided. Includes sample parent letters and permission forms, guidelines for Internet Safety Policies and sample board policies on Network use.
