  The Technology Integration Matrix

  "Don't be worried about making dramatic changes too quickly.  Even incremental change can result in significant improvements in teaching and learning."   Robert Marzano

  We all know that successful teaching in a 1:1 classroom is more than just guiding kids to a website.  But what is good technology integration?  Where does a teacher get started? How do you add tech integration to a lesson plan?

  

  This is where the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) can help.  The TIM is a tool designed to help you understand the different LEVELS of technology integration and how to move both teachers and students forward.
