TIM, my new teaching partner. TIM actually stands for Technology Integration Matrix. This model I foresee as being the new teacher's technology rubric. Being a visual person, I love how this not only explains the integration but has videos with actual technology in action!
The five levels of Integration are Entry, Adoption, Adaption, Infusion, and Transformation. As an RTI, Response To Intervention, teacher I find that I am at the Adoption level. Since our year is almost at an end, I can see myself working over the summer to move into the Infusion level next spring. I would like to load our leveled readers onto tablets as well as create a curriculum that would allow more exploration within the text when we apply our phonic skills and comprehension practice. At this point the teachers read the LR to the students due to the limited number of books available.
TIM is an awesome model to have in this changing world! I would welcome any other suggestions on integrating technology into an intervention curriculum.
