The Intersection of Learning and Technology
PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

This resource graphically illustrates the intersection of technology and learning. Technology is represented as a continuum from low to high performance. Learning is represented as a continuum from passive to active. The intersection results in four learning and technology patterns. Links within the resource expand on the ideas presented here. (ts)

CAREER APPLICATION

This resource can help the career-technical teacher understand and evaluate programs involving technology use. The resource applies a model to describe four possible interactions between technology and learning. For the model a four block diagram illustrates the interplay between one continuum showing the progression from low to high technology performance and a second continuum showing the transition from passive to engaged and sustained student learning. The site includes links to definitions of important terms, technology indicators, and a discussion of a vision for high quality technology use in schools. Information will be of use to students in the Education and Training career field. (jrs)
