TIP model is created for teachers
as a guide that ensures the
efficiency of integrated technology
about whether it meets the needs
or not
Gives a general approach to
addressing challenges involved in
integrating technology into teaching
practices. (Robyer, 2006, pg. 52)
TIP Model
Phase I: Determine
relative advantage
Phase II: Decide on
objectives and
assesments
Phase III: Design
Integration Strategies
Phase IV: Prepare the
Instructional
Environment
Phase V: Evaluate
and Revise Integration

Phase I: Determine relative advantage
Why Should I use a Technology-based Method?

You need to define the relative advantages of integrating
technology in order to see the possible good solutions and
new better ways work with this integration to give up your
traditional routines.

Relative advantage: benefits of a new method over an old one

Example Technology Solutions with
Potential for High Relative Advantage
Technology
Solution
Concepts are new, Graphics, tools,
simulations, videoforeign
(e.g., mathematics, based problem
physics principles). scenarios
Concepts are
Maths tools
abstract, complex (Geometer’s
(e.g., physics
SketchPad),
principles, biology simulations,
problem-solving
systems).
software,
spreadsheet,
exercises, graphin

Relative Advantage
Visual examples

and applications
Graphics displays
make abstract
concepts more
concrete; students
can manipulate

Phase II: Decide on objectives and assesments
How will I know students have learned?
You decide the objectives and assessment methods best
suit with your technology integration.


General objectives:
İmprove student behaviours : better achievement,
on-task behaviours, improved attitudes
 Improve teacher behaviours: Save time on a task


To assees students we can use:

6
Rubrics, scale type surveys or observations charts.

Phase III: Design Integration Strategies
What teaching strategies and activities will work best?

You should consider the characteristics of the topic, the
needs of students and the constraints of the classtroom
environment

Decide the intructional method



Content: single or interdisciplinary
Grouping: individual, pair or groups
Phase IV: Prepare the Instructional
Environment
Are essential conditions in place to support technology
integration?
You should prepare a healthy teaching environment that
provides effective technology integration.


Essential Conditions for effective technology
use




Adaquate hardware, software and media
Time to use resources
Special needs of students
Planning for technology use
10
Phase V: Evaluate and Revise Integration
Strategies
What worked well, what could be improved?

You should come up with a pros and cons list of the
technology that you used in your lesson.
