Are you using tech like a connoisseur?
Yes, I’m mentioning it again:) Why, because it’s essential that we use technology in ways that actually make learning better. As Eisner (1991) would say- our ability to make fine grain discriminations among complex subtle qualities, seeking out what’s truly worthy, is not an easy task, thus we must revisit this concept often.
Ask yourself these three important questions:
1. Is the use of technology enhancing conceptual knowledge?
2. Is the use of technology elevating the level of engagement?
3. Is learning being differentiated with technology to meet each student where they are at?
If you answer is no to all three…TURN OFF THE MACHINES:)
