Framework for evaluating and categorizing the levels of technology integration in education.
Describes the knowledge that teachers need to effectively integrate technology into their teaching practices.
Technological Knowledge (TK): knowledge ABOUT the technology - practical skills
Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): Teaching and learning strategies. Instructional methods, curriculum design, assessment, and classroom management - effective learning environments
Content knowledge (CK): Expertise in the subject matter
The most effective teaching occurs at the intersection of these three knowledge domains where teachers can seamlessly integrate technology into their practices while maintaining a strong understanding of the content they are teaching.
A framework for educators to measure how well technology tools integrated into lessons are helping students engage in, enhance and extend learning goals. Learning First, Technology Second #tripleE
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) provides a framework for describing and targeting the use of technology to enhance learning. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed. These characteristics are associated with five levels of technology integration: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation. Together, the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments and five levels of technology integration create a matrix of 25 cells, as illustrated below. All TIM descriptors apply equally well to online and face-to-face instruction, Developed by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology (FCIT) in 2005, the TIM is now in its third edition (2019).
