Technology Integration Planning (TIP)
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 1
u Reflect on technological pedagogical content
knowledge (TPACK)
u Self-assess knowledge domains
u What is my knowledge of technology (TK)?
u What is my knowledge of pedagogy (PK)?
u What is my knowledge of content (CK)?
u Where do I see myself in the TPACK model?
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 2
u Determine relative advantage

u Why should I use a technology-based method?

u What is the instructional problem I am addressing?
u Do technology-based methods offer a solution with sufficient
relative advantage?
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 3
u Decide on objectives and assessments

u How will I know students have learned?

u What outcomes do I expect from using new methods?
u What are the best ways of assessing these outcomes?
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 4
u Design integration strategies

u What teaching strategies and activities will work best?

u What kinds of instructional methods are needed?
u How can technology best support these methods?
u How can I prepare students adequately to use technologies?
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 5
u Prepare the instructional environment

u Are essential conditions in place to support technology

integration?
u What equipment, software, media, and materials will I need to
carry out instructional strategies?
u How should resources be arranged to support instruction and
learning?
u What planning is required to make sure technology resources
work well?
Technology Integration Planning (TIP)

Phase 6
u Evaluate and revise integration strategies

u What worked well? What could be improved?

u How well has the technology integration strategy worked?
u What could be improved to make it work better?
