Technology Integration Matrix - @http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students.

Developed by William P. Callahan and Thomas J. Switzer College of Education, University of Northern Iowa. The seven dimensions of the model provide a way for educators to view the integration of technology-related tools into a robust educational environment and thus answer the hard questions regarding support for the shift in our educational activities toward technology. The model sets up a framework for this robust educational environment and identifies key points at which technology should be implemented and evaluated to determine its impact.
