Integrating Technology

Directed Instruction

Teachers transmit a pre-defined set of information to students

Objectivism

Grounded primarily in behaviorist learning theory and information-processing branch of cognitive theories.

Constructivism

evolved from other branches of thinking in cognitive learning theory.

TIP Model

The TIP Model has 3 phases.

1: Analysis of Learning and Teaching Needs

analyzing classroom problems and how technology-based strategies could address them
Asses Tech-PACK.

2: Planning for Integration

3. Post-instruction Analysis and Revisions.

Lesson 3 covers the 3 main steps to successfully integrating technology, integration strategies, phases of the TIP model, and how an effecting classroom can integrate technology. This lesson provides different types of teaching theories that can be applied.

Foundations of Effective Technology Education

There are 3 main ingredients for successful integration of technology in a lesson.

INGREDIENT 1: Learning Theory Foundations

INGREDIENT 2: Integration Planning Model and Tech-PACK

we look to the steps of a three-phased Technology Integration Plan (TIP) Model and how teachers can assess the knowledge the require to plan and implement given technology-based lessons.

INGREDIENT 3: Essential Conditions for Integration

emphasizes that technology-based strategies work best when optimal conditions are in place to support them. Thus, a review of these conditions is the final piece in the foundation.
