Learning First, Technology Second

1. Introduction: Designing Lessons for Authentic Engagement

   • Authentic Engagement focuses on outcomes of Learning Goals
     • False engagement is when a student is not reaching the learning goals
       • Students will lose interest when the technology is not adding value
         • Technology is the operator of education, its a tool
         • Do not get allow academic games to replace learning
     • Observe, is the technology adding value or is it "fun"
   • Students learn through social interactions
   • Triple E
     • Engagement in learning goals
     • Enhancement of learning
     • Extension of learning goals

2. Chapter 1 What We Know About Technology Integration

   • Instructional Strategies
     • Content specific learning goals
       • Identify learning objectives
         • Technology must align with these objectives
     • Make it meaningful to the students
     • Not a one size fits all approach for student learning
       • Technology does not fill gaps in learning, it is a tool not the teacher
   • Engagement
     • Engagement does not equal achievement
     • Must have active learning when the student is focused on the learning goals
       • physically engaging is not the same as "minds on"
   • Access
     • Does not guarantee achievement will increase
     • Teacher needs training on how to effectively use in the classroom
       • instructional choices are essential for successful outcomes
   • Application of Use
     • Do not expect students to navigate on their own
     • must encourage meaningful learning
       • extending previous knowledge
     • Teachers must look for tools that foster higher level thinking
     • QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
   • Authenticity
     • deep learning and long term retention
       • Real World Application
       • the choices teachers make will determine the success of the learning process
     • Focus on learning goals
   • Co-Use
     • Person to Person with a digital device
       • leads to higher level thinking and questioning
       • social interactions are learned as well
       • learns more than on your own

3. Chapter 2 Building on the Current Frameworks

   • TPACK Framework
     • No one best way to teach with technology but depends on the subjects learning goals
     • Technology knowledge
     • Pedagogical Knowledge
     • Content Knowledge
     • Together a specific subject can be taught
     • useful for the BIG PICTURE for what the teacher needs to know to incorporate tech
     • Triple E was created to make this a measurable framework
   • TIM Framework
     • Learning Environments
       • Active
       • Constructive
       • Goal - Directed
       • Authentic
       • Collaborative
     • Levels of Technology Introduction
       • Transformation
       • Infusion
       • Entry
       • Adoption
       • Adaption
     • Not Focused on learning goals but rather if tools are introduced in a sophisticated way
       • Difficult to measure its effectiveness
         • Triple E Framework extends with meaningful learning strategies
   • SAMR Model
     • Substitution
       • Updated versions of older technology
         • Chalkboard to Interactive Boards
         • ENHANCEMENT
     • Augmentation
       • Extending of older technology
     • Modification
       • Redesigning a traditional assignment
       • TRANSFORMATION
     • Redefinition
       • Redesigns the activity entirely with the intro of technology
   • Look at research for effective teaching with technology
     • Is it meeting the needs of the learner?
