Click the Spreadsheet<\/strong> button for that survey and an Excel file will be prepared and downloaded to you. If there are many results to include, this may take a moment.<\/p>\n When the file downloads, open it in a spreadsheet application. The columns will be labeled. You’ll find the date and time of each survey submission. If the survey was taken by a TIM Tools member, the member ID, first and last name, and school assignment (if any) will be recorded. If the response came from the general public, you’ll be able to use the IP address column to determine if perhaps someone is submitting multiple responses to skew results. For your convenience, the question will also be included before each answer. If a respondent selected one than one response in a multiple response item, those responses will be separated by commas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Previous Text” _builder_version=”3.11″ background_color=”rgba(160,181,193,0.25)” custom_padding=”8px|8px|8px|8px” border_radii=”on|3px|3px|3px|3px” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#95b2c1″]<\/p>\n\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

\nCreating a New Report – Report Builder<\/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
