TIP: Planning Process and Implementation

TIP: PLANNING PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
In the TIP: Mission, Goals, Tasks, and Needs Assessment assignment, you diagnosed a
technology need for your school or organization. We have reached the portion of the project
where you now begin to discuss the specifics for implementation of your plan. For this
assignment, use the TIP Template to build upon what you have already created. The TIP Sample
is also available for guidance in formatting.
For the planning section of this assignment, you will create a chart to depict how your goals and
tasks align with the technology standards or guidelines. These must support your state,
institution, organization, or specific standards from ISTE, UDL, or TPCK. In addition, you will
address each of the needs identified in your Needs Assessment, including changes necessary for
environment, engagement, application tools, and anticipated results. Try to keep this section to
about two pages in length, including the chart.
For the implantation section, you will submit a chart describing the timetable, budget, and
professional development plan for your TIP. Try to keep this section to about two pages in
length, including the chart, but not including the lesson plans.
This section explains how your plan will unfold with actual and realistic timeframes and
finances. For the purposes of this course, select two or three particular technology-embedded
strategies that you can detail in regards to professional development and what they will look
like. These should match with at least one of the strategies previously identified in your plan.
For example, if your plan includes the incorporation of a new reading app for your second grade
students (discussed in your goals/tasks from the first part of this project), focus a Professional
Development session on the use of that reading app.
There are key questions that need to be answered when designing training on technology
integration and instructional practice. It always comes down to how the learners benefit from the
redesigned curriculum. Educators need to move beyond merely using PowerPoint as a good
model for technology integration. As you work on this assignment, ask yourself, “Where in the
curriculum does the resource fit? How will the lesson be different because of the
application/software/hardware now used by the instructor and/or learners?”
Professional Development is most successful when the training is built around the actual work
educators do in the learning environment. If it is applicable to their work, then there will be
greater buy-in among the instructors in your organization. Allow for playtime! Give your
instructors time to experiment with the new technologies or software packages for their
computers. Pace the training in such a way that they have time to explore on their own.
Additionally, you will create two lesson plans (1–2 pages each-this is in addition to the 3-4 page
limit of this assignment, and they do not need to follow current APA format) that demonstrate
how to integrate technology at the classroom level for various diverse groups. The lesson plans
must integrate biblical principles and address cultural diversity, special needs, and varying
socioeconomic groups based upon the ISTE, UDL, and TPCK standards. These can either be
lessons for students or professional development sessions for instructors. The choice is up to you.
EDUC 629
Below are a few bullet points to help guide you in this assignment:
 Budget for the equipment and professional development needed to meet each goal. Use
approximate amounts; rough estimates will work. Include a reference to support your quotes.
 For the timetable, describe how the professional development will be done. Quality
professional development takes time, so plan over a period of weeks or months to allow for
adequate time for instructors to learn the tools and design the lessons in which they will be
used.
 Lesson Plans 1 & 2: Outline two lessons that incorporate the technology tools, resources, and
instructional strategies that you have identified in the above bullets.
You must cite your sources using current APA format. If you cite sources, be sure to include
them in a reference page, as well
