Guide: Technology Integration Plan

Phase 1: Analysis of Learning and Teaching Needs

Step 1: Determine Relative Advantage

What is the problem? (clear statement of the evidence-based teaching/learning problem)
Example: Students dislike preparing research reports.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Do technology-based methods offer a solution with sufficient relative advantage?
--Estimate the impact. (What benefits have others gained from using technology as a solution?)
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
--Consider the required effort & expense. (How much time/work will implementation take?)

Phase 2: Planning for Integration

Step 3: Decide on Objectives & Assessments
What outcomes do I expect from using the new methods? (processes that are observable & measurable)
Higher achievement
Cooperative work
Attitude
Improved motivation
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
What are the best ways of assessing these outcomes?
Written test (achievement outcomes)
Evaluation criteria checklist (complex tasks/products)
Rubric (complex tasks/products)
Likert scale survey (attitude outcomes)
Semantic differential survey (attitude outcomes)
Observation instrument (frequency of behavior)
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
Objective(s).
Example: Students will indicate satisfaction with development of multimedia products by an overall
average score of 20 out of 25 points. (Create an attitude survey to assess satisfaction.)

Step 4: Design Integration Strategies

What kind of content approach is needed?
Single subject
Interdisciplinary
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
What grouping approach should I use?
Whole class (demonstrations or guidance prior to student work)
Individual (individual mastery of skills)
Pairs (peer tutoring)
Small group (model real-world skills & cooperation)
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
How can I prepare students adequately to use technologies?
Example: Allow for enough time to demonstrate the tools to students for them to become comfortable.

Step 5: Prepare the Instructional Environment
What equipment, software, media, & materials will I need to carry out the instructional strategies?
Computers:____________________________________________________________________
Copies of software & media: ______________________________________________________
Access to peripherals: ___________________________________________________________
Handouts: _____________________________________________________________________
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
How should resources be arranged to support instruction & learning?
Access by students with disabilities:_________________________________________________
Privacy & safety issues:___________________________________________________________
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
What planning is required to make sure technology resources work well?
Troubleshooting:________________________________________________________________
Test runs & backup plans:_________________________________________________________
Other:_________________________________________________________________________

Phase 3: Post-Instruction Analysis & Revisions

Step 6: Analyze Results
Were the objectives achieved?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
What do students say?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Could improving instructional strategies improve results?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Could improving the environment improve results?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
How well has the technology integration strategy worked? (review collected data)
Achievement data:_______________________________________________________________
Attitude data:___________________________________________________________________
Students comments:_____________________________________________________________
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
What could be improved to make the technology integration strategy work better?
Scheduling:_____________________________________________________________________
Technical skills:__________________________________________________________________
Efficiency:______________________________________________________________________
Other:_________________________________________________________________________
Step 7: Make Revisions (based on evidence in the form of student outcomes)
