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:
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.

Gamification
Flipped
Classroom
Through a flipped
classroom the teacher
would first
demonstrate what to
do and give a small
lecture to allow the
students to understand
it more, and then they
will let the students
spend most of the
classroom time on the
activity assigned to
them.
Mathematics
1. Number Sense,
Properties, and
Operations
2. Patterns, Functions,
and Algebraic Structures
3. Analysis, Statistics,
and Probability
Teachers help
support the student
through showing
them how to use
excel in which they
will then display on
the students person
eportfolio. (Model
digital age and
learning)
Students show
probability through
rolling a piece of dice
and writing down the
outcome. They then
will place the
information they
gained into excel and
see which number was
rolled the most.
(Technology operations
and concepts)
4. Research and
Reasoning
Through a flipped
classroom students will
get a greater
understanding of the
assignment through the
teacher presenting her
own research paper
first so the students
have a greater idea of
what they need to do.
In a flipped classroom
teachers will give an
example and then
students will spend a
couple weeks through
going to the computer
lab, gathering
information, and
putting together a
power point in order to
present to the class
and also the teacher.
Social Studies
1. History
2. Geography
3. Economics
4. Civics
Science
1. Physical Science
2. Life Science
3. Earth Systems Science
Differentiation
Through gathering
information, and also
creating a solar system
students will further grasp
and understand a deeper
understanding of the solar
system.
Flipped classroom.
Teacher will first
present herself give
instructions in how to
do everything, and
then allows the
students do it.

Reflection:
Using ePortfolios for each different lesson, was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Students can use the portfolios all through out their life
and increase their knowledge. This skill will give them a better understanding of how to use the computer and also become more comfortable
with it. It was also very easy to fill in the different lesson plans and make them accustomed to which study I was wanting to do.
