Learning WITH Technology

Are your students learning with technology? If so, HOW? If not, what needs to change?

1. Support knowledge construction
• represent learners' ideas, understandings, and beliefs
• produce organized, multimedia knowledge by learners
2. Support explorations
• access needed information
• compare perspectives, beliefs, world views
3. Support learning by doing
• simulating meaningful real-world problems, situations, and contexts
• represent beliefs, perspectives, arguments, and stories of others
• provide a safe, controllable problem space for student thinking
  
4. Support learning by conversing
• collaborate with others
• discuss, argue, and build consensus among members of a learning community
• support discourse among knowledge building communities
  
5. Intellectual partners that support learning by reflecting
• help learners articulate and represent what they know
• reflect on what they have learned and how they came to know it
• support learners' internal negotiations and meaning making
• construct persona representations of meaning
• support mindful thinking (Jonassen, Peck, & Wilson, 1999 as cited in Jonassen, 2000)
