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.

Colorado Academic
Standards
ISTE Standards
for Teachers
ISTE Standards
for Students
Blooms
Taxonomy
Constructivism
Gamification
Flipped
Classroom
Students will use

constructivism through
physically rolling the dice
and writing down their
outcome. This will allow
them to understand and
grasp the information
greater because they are
physically doing the activity.
We can make this a

game by making it
almost like bingo. The
students place chip one
chip on the number
they think the dice will
be rolled and they have
to figure out the
probability.
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)
Students will use blooms

taxonomy through
figuring out that
probability of each dice
rolled, and then placing
that information into
excel.
4. Shape, Dimension, and

Geometric Relationships
Reading, Writing, and Communicating
1. Oral Expression and
Listening
2. Reading for All
Purposes
3. Writing and
Composition
4. Research and
Reasoning
Teachers will give an

example of an
eportfolio in which
they show one
person in which they
study and research.
Students will create an

eportfolio in which
they will have to do
research and explain in
detail about that
specific person.
Students will have to use

critical thinking to figure
out which website is the
best website for their
specific person. As well as
organizing their
eportfolio.
Students will physically

gather the information and
organize it before placing it
on their portfolio
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.
Gathering information, and

also listening to the other
students as they present
their event that happened
in Colorado students will
not only become an expert
in what they studied, but
also what the other
students studied through
presentations.
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
Teachers will show a

power point and give
a lecture of Colorado
history.
Students will then have

to create their own
powerpoint on a
specific event that
happened in Colorado.
They will use critical

thinking to figure out
what they do, and create
a power point in which
they will gain a greater
understanding of that
event.
2. Geography
3. Economics
4. Civics
Science
1. Physical Science
2. Life Science
3. Earth Systems Science
Teachers will show a

video on how the
Solar System works
Students will then have

to through an
eportfolio put together
a study of one specific
planet. They will
gather information and
then transfer that
information to the
eportfolio.
Use critical thinking to

figure out the solar
system and the different
sizes of each planet
compared to the other
planets.
Differentiation
Through gathering
information, and also
creating a solar system
students will further grasp
and understand a deeper
understanding of the solar
system.
They can play games in

which they place what
planet goes where, or
even play a game in
which it is a puzzle
piece. Even play a
puzzle game in which
you have to place the
planets core into the
correct spots.
Teachers give a small

lecture on the solar
system, and then allow
the students to
research a planet, and
also play games in
regards to the solar
system.
Learning Disabilities EEOs
Show the students an

eportfolio about you.
Have the students

create their own
eportfolio about their
likes and dislikes, and
the things they aspire
to become.
Students will use critical

thinking to figure out how
the computer system
works, and also how to
create an eportfolio.
Students will physically

gather the information and
organize it before placing it
on their portfolio.
Students will have fun

with this assignment
because they are
talking about
themselves and placing
it on the computer.
Flipped classroom.
Teacher will first
present herself give
instructions in how to
do everything, and
then allows the
students do it.
Physical Disabilities
Gifted/ Talented
Other
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.
