The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells as illustrated below. aseldow Sun, 16 Dec 2007 08:35:14 +0000 tim tech integration matrix k-12 ed tech instructional tech cio frps http://www.sifinfo.org/upload/presentations/AD4C91_Cost_Benefit.pps PowerPoint presentation on implementing SIFA. aseldow Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:50:32 +0000 sifa school interoperability cio k-12 frps http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/MathFun/Triangle.htm Using only elementary geometry, determine angle x. Provide a step-by-step proof. You may only use elementary geometry, such as the fact that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees and the basic congruent triangle rules (side-angle-side, etc.). You may not use more advanced trigonomery, such as the law of sines, the law of cosines, etc. There is a review of elementary geometry below. aseldow Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:26:50 +0000 geometry t214 math mathematics education k-12 teaching http://www.poducateme.com/ You’ve likely heard of podcasting by now. Countless universities, colleges and K-12 classes worldwide are using the technology to deliver recorded lectures, news and information to students. In fact, nothing has had a greater impact on students since the invention of the paddle. OK, I kid, but I?m also making a point here—podcasting has taken education by storm, and the technology cannot be ignored. aseldow Sat, 01 Dec 2007 03:47:24 +0000 podcasting educational podcasting ed tech teacher resources mp3 teacher k-12 http://www.danah.org/papers/MySpaceDOPA.html Discussion: MySpace and Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA) Citation: boyd, danah and Henry Jenkins. 2006.
