From 2010, but still an interesting read about teacher evaluations.

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.

Remember this guy at WEMTA a few years ago? He was good, and I like his rethinking of technology's impact on good teaching. The idea of creating "wonder" as a critical element is important, and is one of those many good teacher skills that would be hard to measure on an evaluation.....
