The Technology Integration Planning Model

Mary Monroe Fall 2007 MEDT 3401

An Overview of the TIP Model

This model gives teachers a general approach to addressing challenges involved in integrating technology into teaching ! The T"# Model provides a help$%l g%ide on proced%res and iss%es to address &p! '2(!

An Overview of the TIP Model

Each o$ the model)s $ive phases o%tlines a set o$ planning and implementation steps that help ens%re technology %se *ill +e e$$icient and s%ccess$%l in meeting needs &p! '2(!
Phase 1 Determine the Relative Advantage

Phase 2 Decide on Objectives

Phase 3 Design Integration Strategies

Phase 4 Prepare the Instructional nvironment

Phase ! valuate and Revise Integration Strategies

Phase 1: Determine Relative Advantage
