TECHNOLOGY NTEGRATION EARNING LAN SSIGNMENT I L P A INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The goal of this assignment is to create a learning/lesson plan for a single 50-60 minute
instructional session where technology is integrated in meaningful ways that will help your
learners gain decision-making skills, demonstrate increased creativity, form stronger social
connections with peers, and increase their technology skills.
For this assignment, you will design the learning plan for a specific audience of learners. The
Technology Integration Matrix, the ASSURE model for instructional planning, and the ISTE
standards for students provide valuable frameworks to help you define a well-conceived
technology integrated learning plan.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use the Technology Integration Learning Plan Template provided with this assignment The .
template requires you to complete the sections as described in the following. Ensure your work
demonstrates appropriate use of key terminology from the field of educational technology.
1. Introductory paragraph. Use this space to give an introduction to technology integration.
Discuss what technology integration is and what it looks like in classrooms. Include a
minimum of two scholarly articles as support.
2. The Technology Integration Matrix.
a. Using the link provided with this assignment, explore The Technology Integration
Matrix to gain an understanding of meaningful learning environments (i.e., Active,
Collaborative, Constructive, Authentic, and Goal-Directed) and how these relate to
the levels of integration (i.e., Entry, Adoption, Adaptation, Infusion, and
Transformation).
b. Select one of the meaningful learning environments and either the Infusion or
Transformation level of integration. Where these two elements intersect on the matrix
chart is what will inform the design of your technology integration lesson. Click on
the cells of the matrix chart for additional resources and demonstrations of what each
learning environment at each level of integration would entail.
c. In the assignment template, provide a paragraph that solidly describes the meaningful
learning environment and level of integration you selected.
3. The ASSURE Model for Instructional Design. The ASSURE model (Smaldino, Lowther, &
Russell, 2008) encourages a purposeful look at and selection of appropriate technologies for
fostering student engagement. The ASSURE acronym stands for nalyze learners, tate the A S
standards and objectives, elect strategies, technology, media, and materials, tilize S U
materials, equire learner participation, and valuate and revise. R E
a. Using scholarly resources for support, begin this template section with a brief
introduction to the ASSURE model.
b. Analysis of Learners and Technology in the Local Setting.
In the first paragraph of this section, describe your learners and their learning
