TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
PLANNING (TIP)

Technology Integration Planning (TIP) is a

model created for teachers as a guide that
ensures the efficiency of integration of
technology in education.
TIP gives teachers a systematic way to identify
and address challenges involved in integrating
technology into teaching practices.
PHASE 1: ANALYSIS OF LEARNING AND TEACHING
NEEDS
Step 1: Determine The Relative Advantage
Focus: Will a technology –based method offer relative advantage?

Below are the measures to see relative advantage easier:

Compatibility – Methods consistent with their cultural values and beliefs and
others adopted in the past.
Complexity – Teachers who use technology-based methods feel no fear and
find no difficulties in understanding and learning something new.
Triability – Teachers have the courage to try using and applying technology-
based methods than saying no to it outright.
Observability – Observation is one of the many ways to help teachers decide
whether technology-based method will be helpful or not or if it is effective or
not.
Questions to ask while determining the relative
advantage?

When deciding to use technology-based strategies teachers should

ask themselves two questions:
1. What is the problem I am addressing?
2. Do technology-based methods offer a solution with sufficient
relative advantage?
Step 2: Assess Tech-PACK
Focus: What is my technological pedagogical content knowledge (tech-PACK)?

Teachers have to be proficient in content, pedagogy and

technology before the day of instruction comes.
The teacher has to spend time in understanding all the
components of knowledge to have a better and successful delivery
of the lesson. Being knowledgeable of the content, pedagogy and
technology will make the teacher confident in the entire process of
teaching and learning.
PHASE 2: PLANNING FOR INTEGRATION
Step 3: Decide on Objectives, Assessment
Focus: How will I know students have learned?

Teachers define the skills they want their students to possess upon
learning the lesson and create ways to measure the authenticity of
students’ learning and how successful the activities have been
carried out by them.
Questions to ask while deciding on assessments

Teachers should ask themselves these two questions when thinking

about outcomes and assessment strategies:
1. What outcomes do I expect from using the new methods?
2. What are the best ways of assessing these outcomes?
Step 4: Design Integration Strategies
Focus: What teaching strategies and activities will work best?

In deciding on the instructional course of action, teachers make decision on:

Instructional approaches – traditional or constructivist approach
Curriculum approaches – single subject approach or interdisciplinary
approach
Grouping – from individual to pair or group learning
Sequence – must have acquired technology prerequisite skills to successfully
learn from the resources
Questions to ask while designing integration strategies

Teachers should ask themselves these questions while designing

their strategies:
1. What kinds of instructional methods are needed in light of
content objectives and student characteristics?
2. How can technology best support these methods?
3. How can I prepare students adequately to use technologies?
Step 5: Prepare Instructional Environment
Focus: Are essential conditions in place to support teaching and learning?

Teachers establish the educational environment to carry out effectively the

plan of using technology in teaching and learning.
With the support of International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
the teachers will be guided in setting the essential standards to unleash at its
level best the potentials of technology tools and methods when used in
teaching and learning.
Questions to ask while preparing the instructional
environment

Teachers should ask themselves these questions:

1. What equipment, software, media, and materials will I need to
carry out the instructional strategies?
2. How should I resources be arranged to support instruction and
learning?
PHASE 3: POST INSTRUCTION ANALYSIS AND
REVISIONS
Step 6: Analyze Results
Focus: What worked well? What could be improved?

Teachers have to spend time reflecting and assessing themselves

to determine whether the integration of technology and if all
processes in teaching and learning went on smoothly and have
been successful in the delivery.
Step 7: Make Revisions
Focus: Should I make the revisions?

After analyzing the results, it is important to determine the

necessary areas which need improvement for better execution of
instruction with technology integration the next time around.
Questions to ask while evaluating strategies

While reflecting on these technology-based strategies, teachers

should ask themselves these questions:
1. How well has the technology integration strategy worked?
2. What could be improved to make it worked better?
