Bernajean Porter is a teacher and technology integration specialist I studied in graduate school. She developed a spectrum to determine the level of technology integration and it connects very well with the IPI process. While IPI measures engagement, Porter's technology integration spectrum includes the different level of technology use and how it engages the learner.
While you use technology, try to be aware at what level you are engaging your students. Porter classifies these levels as NOTS, LOTS, and HOTS.
NOTS - using technology to for the sake of teaching technology skills.
- how to use software, search Internet, how to use Google Docs, etc...
-technology literacy skills.
-technology curriculum, not related to one specific subject area.
LOTS -using technology to aid the instructional process.
- use technology to enhance what you have always done.
- moving traditional classwork into a digital medium.
- students are information consumers.
HOTS - using technology as a learning tool, to guide and support learning.
- very student centered, HOTS(higher order thinking skills) sound familiar?
-students create products that connect curriculum to learning.
-Information producer.
What level do you integrate technology? Can you reorganize or design your lesson to make them HOT(ter)s?
