FRAMEWORK

ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGYLiteracy

•Technology use occurs at scheduled times

•Limited or no student access

•Little equipment is needed

•Labs are primary location of equipment

Adapting•Individual teachers initiate tech uses if equipment is available

•Increased numbers of equipment are needed to meet specific objectives

•Efforts are made to move technology closer to classrooms

Transforming•Technology is accessible wherever learning is happening

•Students and teachers initiate technology use

•Learning tasks require a wider range of technologies

STUDENT ACTIVITIESLiteracy

•Students are learning technical skills

•Students are using technology when the “real work” is done

•Student products are technology focused

Adapting•Student experiences depend upon teacher directed assignments

•Drill and practice•Instructional Games•Research is “go look up” and “tell me back”

Transforming•Students construct meaning and to produce information useful to others

•Students are explorers, producers of knowledge, communicators and self-directed learners

TEACHER ACTIVITIESLiteracy

•Teacher talk is “technology talk” rather than “learning talk”

•Teachers view technology as something to do or to learn

•Teachers instruct on how to use technology tools

Adapting•Teacher talk is “same stories with new tools”

•Teachers view technology as interesting but optional and not necessary

•Teachers use technology for productivity
