Technology Integration Matrix 2.0
I started using the Florida Center for Instructional Technology’s Integration Matrix a few years back. The levels of entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, transformation coincide with levels reported by researchers although the names may differ (citation to be added) and have not been changed. The original matrix at http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/ has been revised and the new model is available at http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/tim/matrix.
The characteristics of the learning environment (active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, goal-directed) are consistent between the two matrices. The indicators have been revised to be clearer with examples for teachers to use as reference. The presentation of the information has been revamped to be more user friendly, for example, you could print out a grid with all the active indicators. Specific examples are given for math, science, language arts, and social studies amongst the 25 cells, and identify objectives, procedures, NETS alignment, and materials for a particular grade level. The new grade level and digital tools indices categorize the content for easy access and use. Overall, I think that this site is much more user friendly and more dynamic that the previous site and I look forward to sharing it with my colleagues.
