Findings
• Increased technology use does not lead to student
learning. Rather, effectiveness of technology use
depended on teaching approached used in conjunction
with the technology.
• How you integrate matters – not just the technology
alone.
• It needs to be about the learning, not the technology.
And you need to choose the right tool for the task.
• As long as we see content, technology and pedagogy as
separate – technology will always be just an add on.

10. Teacher as Designer
• See yourself as a curriculum designer – owner
of the curriculum you teach.
• Honor creativity – yours first, then the
student’s
• Repurpose the technology! Go beyond simple
“use” and “integration” to innovation.
11. Question Your Role in Education
And the Role of Technology
• Are you using your technology resources to promote global
connections and collaborations?
• How are you using technology to promote deep rigor and
critical thinking skills?
• Are you creating digital citizens who understand good and
right in a fast changing world?
• Do you balance the celebration of individual achievement
with empowering students to live and succeed in a
participatory culture-- one that shifts the focus of literacy
from individual expression to community involvement?
• Are you maximizing the opportunities of collective action to
underscore what a life of purpose and service can entail in
the 21st Century?
