The document outlines a technology integration strategy called the TIP (Technology Integration Plan) model used to teach a group of students about hurricanes. It describes the phases of the TIP model which includes determining why use technology, expected outcomes, strategies, materials, and equipment needed. It also provides details of three lesson plans on hurricanes using online resources, videos, and desktop publishing software. The document concludes that technology is essential for dynamic learning and helps develop skills applicable to the workplace.
