Technology+Integration+Survey

Technology Integration Survey Name: ITP Day 1 Introduction  The rubric below is designed to help teachers move to a second (and final?) level of professional computer use. Rather than the computer simply being a tool, which allows a common task to be done more efficiently, these skills modify how instruction is delivered, how student performance is measured, and how teachers view themselves as professionals. The technology is used to restructure the educational process to assure that: Each of the ten rubrics has four levels: 
 *  ||
 * 
 * all students master the basic skills of writing, reading and computation
 * all students practice information literacy and research skills, and the higher order thinking skills inherent in them
 * all teachers have the tools and ability:
 * to locate the research findings that will guide their use of technology and
 * to collect the data that measures the effectiveness of their practices.
 * Level 1: Pre-awareness
 * Level 2: Awareness
 * Level 3: Mastery
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Level 4: Advanced

<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">**Level 2** I use a few computer programs as an instructional supplement, as a reward, or with special needs children.

<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">**Level 3** I use several programs (drill and practice, simulations, tutorials, etc.) chosen by my department or grade level to help all my students meet specific, identified learning objectives. The software allows me teach and/or reinforce concepts more effectively than traditional methods. When it is available, I use the software's management system to help assess individual student performance. I use the school's integrated learning system in a purposeful way and help assess its overall effectiveness. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">**Level 4** I seek out new programs for evaluation and adoption. I know sources of software reviews and keep current on developments in computer technologies through professional reading and conference attendance. I share my findings with other professionals. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> **<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> II.

This may include the use of idea generators, graphic organizers, portable writing computers, outlining tools, spelling and grammar checkers, desktop publishing tools, and webpage generators. I use technology to help students share their work for a wide reading audience. I can find and use best practices data on improving writing with technology. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">**Level 4** I store portfolios of my students' work electronically.

I understand the Big6 or a similar information literacy process and design student projects so that they require higher level thinking skills, use and cite electronic information sources, require the use of computer productivity software, and are authentically assessed. I ask students to use technology to help them share the results of their research with others. I reinforce information literacy skills on a daily basis as opportunities arise. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">**Level 4** I am actively involved in curriculum planning teams and advocate for multidisciplinary units and activities that require information literacy skills.
