[Student speaking]Right now I’m doing chapter six, which is the world of Islam, and this is a picture from the textbook, but it doesn’t go with, you have to find the answers in the textbook. It’s shoppers in a market.

[Teacher voiceover]Now, each student is doing their own individual thing, as I said before, they have their progress sheet. Right now and there I can think of the one negative about this program is they don’t seem to get to communicate with each other enough. Because you know you’re trying to get them caught up in what they’re doing, and when they get that opportunity they really seem to enjoy it.

Right now I’m doing chapter six, which is the world of Islam, and this is a picture from the textbook, but it doesn’t go with, you have to find the answers in the textbook. It’s shoppers in a market.

[Teacher voiceover]

Now, each student is doing their own individual thing, as I said before, they have their progress sheet. Right now and there I can think of the one negative about this program is they don’t seem to get to communicate with each other enough. Because you know you’re trying to get them caught up in what they’re doing, and when they get that opportunity they really seem to enjoy it.

Note: The TIM is about teaching, not technology. The placement of a lesson on the TIM is based entirely on the teaching practices demonstrated in the lesson and not on the specific technology employed. Effective pedagogy is our concern, not whether the tech involved is the latest, greatest, or most expensive. In fact, most of the sample videos were recorded some time ago as part of the original development of the Technology Integration Matrix. As you view these videos, focus on the teaching practices. When using the TIM-O to observe a lesson, remember that you can display the detailed indicators by clicking the tab on the right if you are completing a Matrix-based observation or are reviewing the TIM profile of a question-based lesson. The TIM Tools Admin Guide contains additional suggestions for observing a lesson and developing a TIM profile.
