Technology Integration Planning Model (TIP)

• Effective Classroom Uses of Technology

2
What is the TIP model?

• Model designed for teachers, especially those new
  to technology.
• Helps teachers to plan for effective classroom
  uses of technology.
• Composed of five distinct phases.

3
Five Phases

• Phase 1 Relative advantage
• Phase 2 Objectives and assessments
• Phase 3 Integration strategies
• Phase 4 Instructional environment
• Phase 5 Evaluation and revision
• Each phase is accompanied by a checklist of
  questions to insure effective uses.

4
Phase One Relative Advantage

• Figuring out instructional problems
• Deciding if a technology-based solution is best
• Ask questions as to the impact of a
  technology-based solution.

5
Phase One Checklist

• Do I have topics, curriculum objectives, or
  insights I have difficulty teaching?
• Are any of the above a good match for a
  technology-based solution?
• What is the relative advantage of the
  technology-based solution?
• Is the relative advantage sufficient to justify
  the effort and expense of using these solutions?

6
Phase Two Objectives and Assessments

• State desired outcomes in terms of improving
  students'
• Achievement
• Attitude
• Performance
• Match appropriate assessment strategies to each
  outcome.

7
Phase Two Checklist

• What outcomes do I expect of students after the
  instruction to show me they have learned?
• What is the best way for me to assess students'
  learning (written tests, products)?
• Do the assessment instruments (tests, rubrics)
  exist or do I have to develop them?

8
Phase Three Integration Strategies

• Decide on activities that incorperate technology
  resources.
• Use websites such as Blue Web 'N to help plan
  lessons and find resouces.

9
Phase Three Checklist

• Will the instruction be single subject or
  interdisciplinary?
• Will students work as individuals, pairs, small
  or large groups, whole class, a combination?
• Should activities be directed, constructivist, or
  a combination of these?
• What strategies should I use to encourage female
  and minority student involvement?
• What sequence of activities should I teach?
• Will students have enough time to learn the
  technologies before I begin grading?
• Do I have demonstrations of equipment and the
  software skills student will need?

10
Phase Four Instructional Environment

• Deciding on resources and conditions to support
  the activities.
• Put the resources and conditions into place for
  the best support.
• Requires the most planning and checking.

11
Phase Four Checklist

• How many computers and copies of software do I
  need to carry out the activities?
• How many computers and copies of software are
  available?
• Over what time period and for how long will
  technology resources be needed?
• Do I need to schedule time in a lab or media
  center?

12
Phase Four Checklist Contd.

• Have I provided for students' privacy and safety?
• Have I made all necessary access provisions for
  students with physical disabilities?
• Am I familiar with troubleshooting procedures
  specific to the hardware or software?
• Have I built in time to test-run an equipment
  setup before the students arrive?
• Have I built in time to back up important files?
  Have I trained students to back up theirs?

13
Phase Five Evaluation and Revision

• Collect information on student achievement.
• Determine if the activities were successful in
  meeting outcomes.
• Determine what can be improved for next time.

14
Phase Five Checklist

• Were objectives achieved? What evidence do I have
  to indicate success?
• Have I solicited feedback from students about how
  to improve activities?
• Do data and comments indicate changes are needed
  to improve outcomes?
• Are there other ways to arrange technology
  resources or activities to improve results?
