About

This Technology Integration mind map template, created by Kristin Mathis for MEDT 3401 in Spring 2011, provides a structured framework for educators to assess their technology integration readiness. It covers 46 nodes across 9 key areas including 'Top 5 Tools', 'Essential Conditions I Can Influence', 'My Strengths', and 'My Weaknesses'. The template helps users identify personal strengths like 'Ability to function word processing and office type programs' and address threats such as 'Cost. Technology cost is expensive and funds are not always available to every student and teacher'. It also includes a section for 'Assistive Technology Tools' and '2 Goals' to guide actionable planning.
