Defining Technology Immersion
Technology immersion involves the total envelopment of faculty and students in technology. The Technology Immersion Project (TIP) is designed to facilitate the creation of a “technology immersed” campus—one that uses technology as a bridge to more engaged, relevant, meaningful, and personalized student learning. Technology immersion makes technology a partner in the act of teaching and learning rather than ancillary to it. [more]
Six Critical Components of Technology Immersion
Based on sound research and practical experience, TIP Project has developed a blueprint for technology immersion called the “technology immersion package”. This blueprint identifies the six equally necessary components of technology immersion. [more]
Pioneering a New Business Model
Schools often implement technology piecemeal as they can afford it, or as vendors can provide it. At best, this results in a series of disconnected applications not integrated into the act of teaching and learning. TIP has developed an entirely new business model for technology integration, one that requires vendors to partner with one another across product and service areas to provide an integrated solution, and to continue that partnership through implementation and training.

Benefits of the Technology Immersion Business Model for Schools
The benefits of the technology immersion package business model for schools are manifold. What makes this business model different from the norm is that it commits schools to implementing all of the goods and services necessary to catalyze a campus culture change at once, rather than in piecemeal fashion. The model also relocates the burden (and cost) of technology integration away from the school and to the vendor community. [more]
Benefits of the Technology Immersion Business Model for Vendors
There are a number of benefits of the technology immersion package business model for vendors too. All of these benefits can ultimately be characterized as either lending higher value or lower cost to a company’s efforts than stand alone vending would otherwise yield. [more]
