Learning First Technology Second Chapters 1-3

Learning First Technology Second Chapters 1-3

1. Chapter 1

   • 6 Important Themes!
     • Instructional Strategies
       • Pedagogical & Instructional strategies are essential for successful learning outcomes
       • Technology tools match the objectives and needs.
       • Choose methods around technology tools that are relevant to learning objectives
       • New knowledge is constructed from old knowledge
       • Technological tools are not "One size fits all"
     • Engagement
       • Student engagement does not necessarily lead to positive change in student achievement
       • Students can appear to be actively involved but actually be cognitively disengaged
       • Tools should focus on learning goals and task at hand rather than distract from it.
       • Active learning occurs when students are dynamically focused on the learning goal
     • Access
       • Increased access to technology not always lead to increase in student engagement or motivation
       • One-to-one does not automatically correlate to better learning outcomes
     • Application of use
       • Technology needs to support higher-order thinking skills
       • No "drills and practice" software programs
       • Programs must encourage meaningful learning
     • Authenticity and Prior Knowledge
       • Learning contexts should be real, relational, and substantive
       • Ability to create deep learning
       • Real world experiences
     • Significance of Co-Use
       • Person-to-person social use of a digital tool
       • Working together to figure out how to navigate a device.
       • Apps are typically not social.

2. Chapter 2

   • Frameworks
     • TPACK Framework
       • Good teaching is about content, pedagogy, and tecnhology with the relationships between them
       • Interaction of technological knowledge
       • Needs addition of practicsl tools to help teachers make clear connections between pegogy, content, and tecnholohy
     • TIM Framework
       • 5 Characteristics
       • Practical look at how technology is used
       • Main goal is how tecnhology is used with students
     • SAMR Framework
       • Simple to follow
       • Based on: 4 types of technolgy
         • 1. Substition - Technology acts as substitute with no functional change
         • 2. Augmentation - Technology acts as a substitute with functional improvement
         • 3. Modification - Technology allows for significant task redesign.
         • 4. Redefinition - Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable.
       • Tool first, learning goals second.
     • Triple E Framework
       • Uses strong parts of the other frameworks
       • Learning goals first, technology second!
       • Engage, enhance, extend learning goals

3. Chapter 3

   • Triple E Framework
     • Engagement, Enhancement, Extension
       • Used interchangeably ngably but distinct
       • Unique
     • Engagement
       • How technology is helping students focus on learning goals
       • Time-on-task
         • Actively focused on learning goals
         • Allows active social learning
       • Should lead to increased comprehension
     • Enhancement
       • Help students develop understanding of learning goals
       • Technhology can be used to provide personalized scaffolds
     • Extension
       • Reflects how well the technology is extending knowledge
       • Considers how students develop soft skills
       • Creates opportunities outside of typical classroom
   • Technology should EXTEND student learning!
