Technology Integration Matrix
Introduction
The goal is to promote technology integration that is seamless and that adds significant value to students learning of core curriculum (language
arts, math, social studies, and science content). You will investigate theoretical and practical issues surrounding the use of multimedia,
applications, Internet resources, educational software, and hardware within K-12 classrooms. The Technology Integration Matrix is to assist
preservice educators in making connections between theories, resources, content, and pedagogy.
Learning Objective
Students will analyze projects completed in class on the Technology Integration Matrix to demonstrate the relationships between theories,
content, technology, and pedagogy.
Course Objectives
Instruction
2. Integrate technology into curriculum and pedagogy for ALL students.
Issues
4. Describe appropriate uses of technologies (Internet, multimedia, communication tools, etc.) in learning environments.
Skills Development
5. Apply information literacy skills (including searching and evaluation strategies) while using electronic resources.
6. Locate, analyze, and contribute to information from Web 2.0 sources.
Teaching with Technology
12. Research, teach, and publish ways to use innovative technology in education.
Directions
1. Read all information (introduction, objectives, explanations, the matrix)
2. Compare the concept, project, or method to the matrix.
3. Fill in how and why the concept, project, or method applies to the theory and standard and provide suggestions for use.
4. Write a five sentence reflection describing more detail or providing clarification for the information you filled in on the matrix.
5. Load the matrix to the appropriate dropbox in BlackBoard and post it to the matrix page on your ePortfolio.
Explanation of Standards
www.cde.state.co.us
Colorado Academic Standards were created by the Colorado Department of Education to increase student performance in K-12 education and
success post high school. The standards create accountability and are a topical organization of material in multiple content areas. Every grade
level has several standards for each content area designed to provide clarity and direction.
The standard elements include:
Prepared Graduate Competencies

Standard
Grade Level Expectations or High School Expectations
Evidence Outcomes
21st Century Skills and Readiness Competencies
Explanation of ISTE Standards for Teachers and Students

www.iste.org
ISTE is The International Society for Technology in Education. ISTE created technology standards for teachers and students in K-12 education to
assist learning in a digital society, because technology has forever changed the way teaching and learning occur.
The benefits of using the ISTE Standards include:
Improving higher-order thinking skills, such as problem solving, critical thinking and creativity
Preparing students for their future in a competitive global job market
Designing student-centered, project-based and online learning environments
Guiding systemic change in our schools to create digital places of learning
Inspiring digital age professional models for working, collaborating and decision making
Explanation of Educational Theories
Education theory is the theory of the purpose, application and interpretation of education and learning. It largely an umbrella term, being
comprised of a number of theories, rather than a single explanation of how we learn, and how we should teach. Rather, it is affected by several
factors, including theoretical perspective and epistemological position.
There is no one, clear, universal explanation of how we learn and subsequent guidebook as to how we should teach. Rather, there are a range of
theories, each with their background in a different psychological and epistemological tradition. To understand learning then, we have to
understand the theories, and the rationale behind them.

You may agree or disagree with theories presented, but knowing and understanding if they have any value to add to your pedagogy, and if they
are in alignment with your teaching and technology integration philosophies, is vital to your preparation for becoming an educator. If you are
unfamiliar with the concepts and theories presented, please take the time to follow the links for further information.
Explanation of Differentiation
Technology can be the great equalizer. In a classroom of 30 students, how will you meet the diverse needs of students? Technology is one method
to assist you in making this process a bit easier. Differentiation is modifying instruction to help students with diverse academic needs and
learning styles to master the same academic content using engaging techniques and methods. As you complete projects for this class, you need
to think of how they can be adjusted for gifted and talented students, students with physical disabilities, and students with learning disabilities.

by each of the
student and also
the changes a
student wants to
make.
Blogging is a fun thing

for students to do and
also look back on.
Writing and blogging
helps them learn as
time goes on from
their own personal
lives, and also helps
them work on their
typing and write down
the different things
that has happened in
their day.
Students will
understand and
learn to

can show students
teamwork, and
with google docs
allow them to
make corrections
even if they are

which the students
can gain knew
knowledge and
comprehend the
different forms an
app can bring and
the organization

They have to find a

game in which it can
improve their disability

Reflection:
Using technology in the classroom is a huge plus in which students with different learning styles can benefit from. I realized how easy it is
to use technology in the classroom regardless of the type of class it is. Using google docs would create an easy way to communicate in regards to
group projects. Then using QR codes it would create a fun activity for the students, in which they can compete with each other. Before this class
i never knew how to create a QR code as well as do the scavenger hunt so its really cool to know how to be able to do this now.
