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.
This matrix looks like it could be a VERY useful tool for self-evaluation of technology integration into the curriculum.
Resources supporting the full integration of technology in Florida schools -- there's a great matrix showing levels of integration into the curriculum: Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Infusion, and Transformation.
