Educational (Instructional) Technology Magnifies and Mirrors Pedagogy
Instructional technology can only mirror (reflect)
and/or magnify our pedagogy.
If our pedagogy is good, then instructional technology will make it even better. If our pedagogy is poor, then our ed tech will only make it worse. Sound pedagogy must come first!

Paradigm Shifts in Culture and Pedagogy
A paradigm is a pattern or typical example. We have experienced at least three major paradigm shifts in culture and education.
Industrial Age - 1820
1. Agrarian Age

1st Paradigm Shift in Culture and Pedagogy
The first paradigm shift, from the agrarian age to the industrial age, placed a greater emphasis on standardization, centralized control, autocratic decision-making, and conformity (Reigeluth 1999). Education followed suit with an emphasis on rote memory, direct instruction, and behaviorist learning strategies that emphasized repetition and reinforcement as the learner responded to specific stimuli.
Agrarian Age Industrial Age - 1820-1950’s

2nd Paradigm Shift in Culture and Pedagogy
In the 1950’s, when the number of white collar workers in the US began to exceed blue collar workers, we moved into the Information Age.
2. Industrial Age - 1820 to late 1950’s
Information Age – 1950’s to 1990’s

2nd Paradigm Shift in Culture and Pedagogy
2. Industrial Age - 1820 to late 1950’s Information Age – 1950’s to 1990’s
Education in the Industrial Age - standardization- conformity- centralized control- repetition and reinforcement
Education in the Information Age - standardization- repetition and reinforcement- behavioral objectives- systems approach to instruction

3rd Paradigm Shift in Culture and Pedagogy
3. Information Age – 1950’s-1990’s
Education in the Information Age - standardization- repetition and reinforcement- 1970’s, cognitivism (psychology of 1950’s)- internal mental representations(Gagne, Bruner, Piaget - cognitivim)
Education in the Connected (Digital) Age - standardization- repetition and reinforcement-cognitivism- 1990’s, constructivism & situativityConnected* (Digital) Age – 1990’s-
present

A Learning Theory for the Net Generation – SCCS Social and Cognitive-Connectedness Schemata
Premise 1: Today’s students have a new:
1. Social-connectedness schema
2. Cognitive-connectedness schema
![Page 14: A Learning Theory for the Net Generation Marie Sontag, PhD CLMS Monterey, CA Dec. 2008 Can you guess what this puzzle says? Go to this URL to put the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f055503460f94c1a106/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Learning Theory for the Net Generation – SCCS Social and Cognitive-Connectedness Schemata
Premise 2: Students’ immersion in the digital (connected) age has contributed to changes in their social and cognitive-connectedness schemata. Daniel Pink (2005) calls it the “Revenge of the Right Brain”.
Information Age Connected Age
Today’s students “do not just think about different things, they actually think differently” (Prensky 2001, 42).

SCCS: Students’ New Social-Connectedness Schema
1. Link
2. Lurk
3. Lunge

SCCS: Students’ New Social-Connectedness Schema
1. Link – Students link up with others who have the digitalknowledge they would
like to obtain.

SCCS: Students’ New Social-Connectedness Schema
2. Lurk – Students “lurk” or observe the digitalexpertise of others. Notice the circled teen’s face in this picture.What doyou thinkhe’s lookingat?

SCCS: Students’ New Social-Connectedness Schema
3. Lunge – Students lunge at new technology. They eagerly jump in to try new things, usually without reading a manual.

SCCS: Students’ New Cognitive-Connectedness Schema
1. Digital navigation literacy
2. Preference for interactive, discovery-based learning
3. A desire to make reasoned judgments based on their exploration of digital resources

SCCS: Students’ New Cognitive-Connectedness Schema
1. Digital navigation literacy: includes a variety of technical, cognitive, social and emotional skills, as well as the ability to think visually, and develop a sense of how to navigate the hypertext environment of the Internet” (Berger 2007, ¶1, 3).
Due to the nature of the Internet, Millennials have learned to "search for, rather than simply look at, information" (Tapscott 1998, 26).

SCCS: Students’ New Cognitive-Connectedness Schema
2. A preference for interactive, discovery-based learning: Technology tools such as interactive white boards appeal to students’ new cognitive-connectedness schema.
Creating “communities of practice” (Wenger, McDermott and Snyder 2002, 4), and implementing situativist (Barab and Duffy 2000) instructional strategies can also meet the needs of students’ new cognitive-connectedness schema.

SCCS: Students’ New Cognitive-Connectedness Schema
3. A desire to make reasoned judgments based on their exploration of digital resources
Final assessment projects that allow students to demonstrate what they have learned by creating a technology project will tap into students’ new cognitive-connectedness schema.
