This Technology Integration Matrix from Arizona allows educators to determine their level of technology integration: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and transformation with "five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments:active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed" creating a matrix. Each cell provides two lesson plans, focusing on two these three grade ranges: K - 4, 5 - 8 or 9 - 12. Although the lesson plans are written for Arizona Common Core Standards are also referenced so others may find valuable information within this matrix. This site takes you to the interactive version that provides the lesson plans. A pdf version is also available at http://www.azk12.org/tim/docs/AZK1031_Matrix_Print.pdf.
