increase knowledge/skills

students better writers

12. The Tool Needs Context and Pedagogy

13. It takes all three areas
to effectively integrate technology & improve learning.

14. Common Learning Theories
Desired outcomes are
Behaviorism created through response/
stimuli
Learning is viewed as a
process of inputs, managed
Cognitivism
in short term memory, and
coded for long-term recall.
Learners create knowledge
Constructivism in process of understanding
experiences

• Learning is actuated knowledge
• Learning is the process of plugging into new
knowledge sources
• The pipe is more important than what’s in the
pipe
