PUTTS: A Technology Integration Plan for Teachers
1. PUTTS: A Technology Integration Plan for Teachers
2. Introduction The success of technology integration rests in the hands of teachers, but the control over the process thus far has not been given to them. This document is a conceptual, high level summary that outlines five principle components regarding how teachers can take responsibility for integrating technology into the classroom. The five components are: P rinciples, U nderstanding, T raining, T olerance and S uccess, also known as PUTTS. This document delineates the main areas of contention relative to each component of PUTTS. If adopted by teachers, the concepts of PUTTS arms teachers with a mindset to guide them through the lengthy and dynamic process of technology integration. It also provides them a means to clearly articulate their needs to the decision-makers that comprise the institution of education. It serves as a basis for teachers to further investigate a deeper understanding of their objectives for technology integration and to ultimately achieve success.
