The Technology Integration and Planning (TIP) Model is a three-phase model that helps teachers “assess the knowledge required to plan and implement given technology-based lessons.”

Phase 1: Analysis of Learning and Teaching Needs

This phase is about the teacher analyzing problems in the classroom and how they can use technology- based strategies to address and fix them. The phase is broken into two steps: 1. Determine relative advantage (Will a technology-based method offer relative advantage?) and 2. Assess Tech-PACK (What is my technological pedagogical content knowledge (Tech- PACK?). Step 1 is the teacher finding methods that will guarantee them some good solutions. Step 2 is combining their technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge to continue with their plans.

 Phase 2: Planning for Integration

This phase is about the teacher completing three activities to “carry out instruction, assess students, and create an environment that will support technology integration.” This phase is broken into 3 steps: 1. Decide on objectives/assessments (How will I know students have learned?), 2. Design integration strategies (What teaching strategies and activities will work best?), and 3. Prepare instructional environment (Are essential conditions in place to support technology integration?). Step 1 is the teacher deciding the skills that the students should learn and creating ways to evaluate how the students learned. Step 2 is the teacher deciding the instructional strategies and how they choose to conduct them. Step 3 is when the teacher organizes his or her environment in which the plan is done in the best way.

 Phase 3: Post-Instruction Analysis and Revisions

This phase is all about the teacher self-evaluating his or her self and the methods chosen. The phase is also broken into 2 steps: 1. Analyze results (What worked well? What could be improved?) and 2. Make revisions (What changes should I make?). Step 1 is about the teacher going over all the final data and information of the methods and making judgements based on what was good about it, what was not good about, and what could be better. Step 2 is about making changes so the next time the results will improve.
