About

This Technology Integration mind map template, created by Julie Hall for MEDT 3401 in Spring 2011, provides a structured framework for educators to assess their current technology integration landscape. It covers 54 nodes across key areas including strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, assistive technology tools, and top tools. The template encourages users to identify personal strengths like 'I pick up new things easily' and weaknesses such as 'Already full schedule puts time constraints on my ability to find ways to integrate technology into my lesson plans.' It also prompts goal-setting with specific action items, such as taking advantage of coworkers' knowledge of Moodle. This Technology Integration template serves as a practical self-audit and planning tool for teachers aiming to enhance their use of educational technology.
