Paradigm (ISTE)

• Student-centered learning

• Multi-sensory stimulation

• Multi-path progression• Multimedia• Collaborative work

• Information exchange• Active, inquiry-based

learning• Critical thinking,

informed decision making

• Proactive, planned• Authentic, real-world

context

Teaching

• Contextual learning opportunities• beyond school walls

• outside of school hours

• Complex Tasks that result in Transferable skills

• from school to work

• from present to future

Teacher’s Role

• Mentor

• Motivator

• Co-learner

Technology Instruction

• Effective and efficient operation of complex tools

• Underlying knowledge and specific content required to put the tools to productive use

• Skills to select, manage and maintain the tools they need for learning

Interactive Technology

• Captures real-life and allows students to directly relate to their learning

• Allows students to have ownership over what they learn

• Challenges student creativity

• Enhances student thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving.

• Promotes independent thinking and enables students to interpret information

• Supports students as producers as well as consumers

Technology Integration

• Incorporates technology as an integral part of the curriculum

• Communicates ideas through technological media (text, graphics, video, and sound)
