About

This Technology Integration mind map template, created by Katie Millican for MEDT 3401 in Spring 2011, provides a structured self-assessment framework for educators and therapists integrating technology into their practice. It covers 47 nodes across 11 branches, including 'Top 5 Tools', 'Essential Conditions I Can Influence', 'My Strengths', 'My Weaknesses', 'My Opportunities', 'My Threats', and 'Assistive Technology Tools'. The template guides users through a SWOT-like analysis of their tech integration readiness, with specific nodes like 'Money will always be an issue' and 'I love designing PowerPoints, Movies, and any documents as long as I can be creative' offering concrete starting points for reflection. This Technology Integration template is ideal for professionals seeking to systematically evaluate their tech capabilities and barriers.
