Learning First, Technology Second: The Educator’s Guide to Designing Authentic Lessons
Acerca de este libro electrónico
Learning with technology doesn’t happen because a specific tool “revolutionizes” education. It happens when proven teaching strategies intersect with technology tools, and yet it’s not uncommon for teachers to use a tool because it’s “fun” or because the developer promises it will help students learn.
This book includes:
• An introduction to the Triple E Framework that helps teachers engage students in time-on-task learning, enhance learning experiences beyond traditional means and extend learning opportunities to bridge classroom learning with students’ everyday lives.
• Effective strategies for using technology to create authentic learning experiences for their students.
• Case studies to guide appropriate tech integration.
• A lesson planning template to show teachers how to effectively frame technology choices and apply them in instruction.
The companion jump start guide based on this book is Engage, Enhance, Extend: Start Creating Authentic Lessons With the Triple E Framework.
