This is not an article but it is an interesting framework for technology integration. There are video examples of integration ideas separated by subject. 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).

It would be nice to see a few schools who truly have successfully integrated technology into their schools with these tools and practices. We could likely pick up some good ideas on how and how not to implement. Our IU is working to locate districts like these and arrange visits.

Some great ideas in this article. Thanks, Joe!

According to this article we are right on track with our elementary technology day coming up in a few weeks. This PD promises to be exciting. Thanks Anne for the hard work leading up to this day!
