How is it really helping?“I’m using PowerPoint, isn’t that enough?”• Teacher Driven Technology
– Benefits: passive learners, quieter, easier to maintain control, guide instruction towards teacher chosen goals
– Negatives: passive learners, usually lacks intrinsic motivation
• Student Driven Technology– Benefits: built-in motivation,
collaboration, teaching by “pull” not “push”, problem solving, access at home
– Negatives: noisier, requires more teacher prep
