Goals & Objectives State standards, accrediting bodies,
NETS*Students How can the course objectives be broken
down into units, modules, lessons? Varied levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy Outcomes/performances expected
upon completion Criteria for success to ensure mastery

Learning Environment
Andragogical considerations How can learning be made active? How can the environment promote
peer interaction? How can students develop
responsibility for their own learning?

Learning Environment

1st Year College Student Knowledge = gradual accumulation of
right answers acquired through effort and obedience to the instructor Role of the instructor is to TEACH them Right answers for everything exist
Focused on passing the next test Turned off to school Discouraged from following
their own interests No application to life after school
Where did this thinking
come from?

Traditional Classroom
Prescribed Curriculum Chalkboards Desks in rows Books and worksheets Paper & pencil Focus on the front
(teacher) Read, take notes Study as an individual Take tests to measure
learning

21st Century Classroom
Constant, ubiquitous connectivity Moving beyond 4-walls Flexible, blended learning Collaborative environments Allowing global connections Studio-based learning Connections to communities and
access to tools Space for reflection and creativity Bringing the real world into the
classroom, and the classroom into the real world

Know Your Learners Personal demographics (ethnicity, socio-
economic level, cultural background) that might impact learning
Developmental stage of the student relative to the content
Cognitive/Learning style of each student Generational learning styles Student’s entry skills with reference to the
content and technology

Digital Immigrant or Digital Native
Do you turn to the Internet first or second for information?
Do you use a manual to learn a program, or is it intuitive?
Do you print out your E-mail or have your secretary print it out for you?
Do you need to print out a document in order to edit it?
Do you call people into your office to see an interesting website rather than sending the link via E-mail?
Do you make the “Did you get my E-mail?” phone call?

Digital Natives
Ctrl + Alt + Del is as basic as ABC They have never been able to find the “return”
key Computers have always fit in their backpacks They have always had a personal identification
number Photographs have always been processed in an
hour or less Bert and Ernie are old enough to be their parents Gas has always been unleaded Rogaine has always been available for the
follicularly challenged
--Beloit College, 2003, 2004

Adaptation
It is not about whether you are a
digital native but whether you can
adapt to those whose style does
not match your own. – Dede, 2005

Teaching & Learning Strategies
Connect to prior knowledge Scaffold learning Motivation Engagement Relevance Rigor Relationships Student-Centered vs. Teacher-centered

What can you do? Make learning interactive & experiential Consider peer-to-peer approaches Utilize real-world applications Emphasize information literacy in courses Encourage reflection Incorporate collaborative learning Use informal learning opportunities Create opportunities for synthesis

Decide what’s important
Technology does not drive choices
Learning outcomes drive choices Knowledge construction Interactivity Relevance Authentic contexts
