password at the Sign-In<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n The member can choose a new password in the Profile<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n An administrator can change a member\u2019s password at the Members > Alphabetical List<\/strong> screen.<\/p>\n An administrator can change a member\u2019s password at the Members > Search Members<\/strong> screen.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Members can reset a forgotten password at the Sign-In screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Members who have forgotten their password can have their password reset and sent to their email address from the Sign In<\/strong> screen. They simply enter their email address into the Password Reset<\/strong> field and a new, random password will be sent to them. Once they have logged in with the new password, they can go to their Profile<\/strong> and change it if they desire.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Members can change their own passwords using their Profile screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n Members who want to change their password can click the Profile<\/strong> tab in the Teacher Center and be taken to their personal Profile screen. They will need to enter the new password once in the New Password<\/strong> field, re-enter it exactly the same way in the Retype New Password<\/strong> field, and then click the Change Password<\/strong> button. The password will be changed immediately.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. An administrator can change a member\u2019s password from the Members > Alphabetical List screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n An administrator who has located a member on the Alphabetical List<\/strong> screen can click the Reset Password<\/strong> button. The Reset Password<\/strong> screen will appear at which time the administrator can either (A) enter a new password for the member or (B) leave the Reset Password box blank which will cause the system to create a new, random password and email it to the member.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4. An administrator can change a member\u2019s password from the Members > Search Members screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n If there are a large number of members, it will be much easier to locate a member via the Search Members<\/strong> screen than it would be to use the Alphabetical List to locate the member. The administrator can enter the member\u2019s name or username into the appropriate search field to locate the member record. When the Reset Password<\/strong> button is clicked for the resulting member, the Reset Password<\/strong> screen will appear at which time the administrator can either (A) enter a new password for the member or (B) leave the Reset Password box blank which will cause the system to create a new, random password and email it to the member.<\/p>\n

\nThe TIM-O is designed to guide principals, teachers, and others through the process of evaluating the level of technology integration within a particular lesson and helps provide a clear picture of the professional development needed to support further technology integration. Two variations of the TIM-O are available within TIM Tools. The TIM-R allows for teacher reflection and the TIM-LP is used for lesson plan review.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

\nThe TUPS is the perfect tool to use annually, or at the beginning and end of any technology project to measure the changes in how teachers relate to technology in their work. 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

\nThe ARTI tool provides a framework for teachers to design and conduct their own action research projects. ARTI takes teachers through the five basic steps of an action research project including: identification of a question, description of the context, data collection, analysis, and the creation of findings.<\/p>\n
\nAccessing School or District ARTI Data<\/p>\n
\nThe Report Tool allows a school or district to create new reports using the Report Builder. 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

\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
