Quick Link: Florida's Technology Integration Matrix for K-12 Tech Integration and Transformation |
| Quick Link: Florida's Technology Integration Matrix for K-12 Tech Integration and Transformation Posted: 27 May 2011 06:35 PM PDT Technology Integration Matrix "The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. 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...." Here is a list of the people behind the development of the 2010-11 Technology Integration Matrix, as listed on the TIM website. I will provide links to the team member's websites/blogs in the future.

| Posted: 27 May 2011 04:35 PM PDT I came across the Digging Into Data Challenge website today and thought it might be of interest to IMT readers. Below is a description of the project, a few related links, and an abbreviated list of links to a wide range of data repositories on the web.  ABOUT "Welcome to the second round of the Digging into Data Challenge. During the first round, in 2009, nearly 90 international research teams competed in the challenge. Ultimately, eight remarkable projects were awarded grants." "In 2011, the Digging into Data Challenge has returned for a second round, this time much larger, with sponsorship from eight international research funders, representing Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States." "What is the "challenge" we speak of? The idea behind the Digging into Data Challenge is to address how "big data" changes the research landscape for the humanities and social sciences. Now that we have massive databases of materials used by scholars in the humanities and social sciences -- ranging from digitized books, newspapers, and music to transactional data like web searches, sensor data or cell phone records -- what new, computationally-based research methods might we apply? As the world becomes increasingly digital, new techniques will be needed to search, analyze, and understand these everyday materials. Digging into Data challenges the research community to help create the new research infrastructure for 21st century scholarship." "Applicants will form international teams from at least two of the participating countries. Winning teams will receive grants from two or more of the funding agencies and, two years later, will be invited to show off their work at a special conference sponsored by the eight funders." "Let's get digging." RELATED Digging into Data Challenge Second Year Request for Proposals Press Release Round Two: Digging Into Data Challenge: Social and computational scientist asked to design methods and tools for analyzing large data sets (National Science Foundation) Times Higher Education, April 28, 2011, "Research intelligence - Let's dig a little deeper" The New York Times, November 16, 2010, "Digital Keys for Unlocking the Humanities' Riches" The Globe and Mail, June 18, 2010, "Supercomputers seek to 'model humanity'" Be sure to visit the Digging Into Data Challenge data repository page. Each repository is annotated in detail and includes links and in some cases, APIs. The page is updated regularly, and at the time of this post, was updated on May 26, 2011.

I'd be interested in learning if any of the researchers involved in the Digging Into Data Challenge plan to work on an interactive, multidimensional, multimedia timeline to support collaborative data sharing and analysis. http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com  |
