Learning Environments Impact Outcomes
An Enduring Understanding for all of us is that learning environments impact outcomes.
An Essential Question then could be:
How do we evaluate the effective uses of technology in learning?
A Big Idea:
What does digital age teaching and learning look like and feel like?
Outcome:
I want you to analyze and evaluate the effective uses of technology to impact World Class learning outcomes in the videos that follow.
First, I want you to build a little background in order to reach the outcome. Take a look at what is called the SAMR, which is designed by Ruben R. Puentedura.
I am sharing with you what has been published on YouTube as a short introductory video on technology in education. For a quick introduction to SAMR and the work of Ruben R. Puentedura. This video is about 13 minutes. In the video Puentedura explains his thinking about this continuum to affect change in learning or to move to transforming learning.
Now, using the SAMR, think about it as you watch two videos of elementary teachers below, who are here in our district, as they move towards uses of technology in learning.
What level of technology use do you see in the classroom or hear described by the teacher and learners?
Substitution?
Augmentation?
Modification?
Redefinition?
What makes you think so?
If you have a bit more time, here are five more videos - several elementary level and some secondary examples. All videos are Douglas County teachers.
Being able to 'see and hear' when tech acts as a direct tool for functional improvement, or when it acts as a significant task redesign, and allows for the creation of new tasks previously inconceivable.
Thanks for taking the time to grow and learn with me! The SAMR has certainly given me more to think about!
