1. Learning outcomes drive the selection of technology. • First clarify your lesson or unit's student learning outcomes. Then, determine what technologies are available and if they support these learning outcomes. • Also consider the “cognitive demands” of the available technologies. Classroom Level
Web sites, CD-ROMs Drill and practice or other tutorial software Tool software such as spreadsheets, databases, word processing, concept mapping, etc. Knowledge, Comprehension Knowledge, Comprehension, Application Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation Software Types by their “Cognitive Demand” (generalized for typical uses)
2. Technology use provides added value to teaching and learning. • For Teaching adding value might mean individualizing instruction or making it more responsive to student’s questions and interests, or providing additional resources of information so instruction is more real world, authentic or current. • For Learning adding value might mean accessing data, processing information or communicating knowledge that without technology would be impossible or less viable to do.

Added Value: Accessing • Web sites and CD-ROMs • Multi-sensory • Greater amounts of data • Searching and “mining” capabilities • Timeliness and Relevance of the information
Added Value: Processing • Drill and Practice and Tutorial Software • Self-paced • Individual attention • Remediation • Practice to the point of fluency
Added Value: Processing and Communication • Tool Software • Visualizing information • Develop process or skill capabilities • Organize information so it is searchable, or ready for sorting • Communicate findings and understanding to others
