It supports teacher inquiry by providing the teacher with a tool for recording changes in classroom usage of technology. The information is also useful for planning technology infrastructure and support and getting a snapshot of the perceptions of teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Opening and Closing the TUPS<br \/>\nTUPS Intro and Thank You Text<br \/>\nCustomizing TUPS Sections and Items<br \/>\nAccessing School or District TUPS Data<br \/>\nTUPS Report Template<\/p>\n<p>ARTI<br \/>\nThe ARTI tool provides a framework for teachers to design and conduct their own action research projects.

Choose the option to create new TIM-LP, TIM-O, TIM-R, or TUPS reports. Use the Report Tool Dashboard to review the number of complete, incomplete, published, and unpublished reports in your system. View all previous reports, along with newly created reports, in the Report List.<\/p>\n<p>Report Tool Dashboard<br \/>\nReport List<br \/>\nCreating a New Report &#8211; Report Builder<\/p>\n<p>Survey Tool<br \/>\nThe Survey Tool allows a school or district to create surveys on new topics as needed. The surveys can be offered to TIM members only or made available to the general public. Surveys can be built from scratch or users can start with a survey from the included library of sample surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a New Survey<br \/>\nCustomizing a Library Survey<br \/>\nViewing Survey Results<\/p>\n<p>TIM Tools Research Roundtable<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_4&#8243;

Clicking on a built-in banner to select it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Notice that we&#8217;ve indicated the file size of each of the banner choices. If your school or district is in an area where bandwidth is a concern, you may want to select a banner option with a smaller file size. Even though all the choices are 1600 pixels wide, dozens of the options are under 10KB.<\/p>\n<p>If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the banner customization page, you&#8217;ll find a link to a central library of banners that we&#8217;ll update from time to time with fresh choices. You can copy the URL of any of these banners and paste it into the custom field to use them on your site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Using Your Own Banner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may prefer to use your own banner to keep a consistent branding across your existing website and your TIM Tools instance. The banner should be 100 pixels high and we suggest a minimum of 1600 pixels wide. The banner will tile (repeat itself) if your image is not as wide as visitors have their browser window set. If you select an image taller than 100 pixels, only the top 100 pixels if the image will display. Keep in mind that your school or district name will automatically be superimposed on your banner at the left where you see \u201cAnytowne Public Schools\u201d in the illustration below. Place your banner anywhere on your own server and paste the URL into the custom banner text field. When you click the <strong>Use Custom Banner<\/strong> button, your banner will immediately appear across your TIM Tools instance. You can change the custom banner or revert to one of the built-in banners at any time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1582\" height=\"889\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL.jpg 1582w, https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/fcit.usf.edu\/matrix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/WolvesURL-1080x607.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1582px) 100vw, 1582px\" \/><i>Figure 2.
