tip

Identify and re-design a lesson/unit that you currently teach that effectively integrates technology that enhances student learning using the Technology Integration Planning (TIP) Model. This model is described below and will be discussed in class.

__ STEP 1: Determine the relative advantage (2 parts). __
__ BRAINSTORM __ 3-4 lessons/activities that you currently teach (ideally, in the near future) that you think have the potential for improvement with a technology-based solution.  __ Identify 3-4 lessons/administrative tasks __ with a brief narrative that gives the necessary background information.  For each lesson describe the content being taught, how you currently teach the lesson, why you think it needs improvement (rationale), and how/what technology could make this a better lesson.
 * __ PART 1 __**

__ Identify one lesson/activity __ from the brainstorm above that you want to develop further.  Once you identify the lesson, think and write about what technology the students will use to improve student learning. Keep in mind that there should be a technology-based solution to make this lesson more effective for the students.  __ Things to consider: __ ·  Are there any topics or curriculum objectives you have difficulty teaching? (“Loser Lessons”) o Brainstorm at least 3-4 potential lessons providing a description for each o Identify which lesson you chose and rationale ·  Do any of these problems areas have a technology-based solution? ·  What technology best fits my instructional needs? ·  What is the relative advantage of the technology-based solutions? ·  Is the relative advantage sufficient to justify the effort involved?
