Overview

As you reflect on the activities completed, keep in mind that meaningful learning occurs when technology is used for knowledge construction rather than simply providing the content. The National Technology Standards provide a structure for effectively integrating technology that can enhance learning and teaching strategies. Moreover, understanding the media characteristics, as reflected in the media selection module, will assist with selecting appropriate technology for your learning outcomes.

Creating technology-integrated activities is a combination of using existing methods that match the current situation and modifying previous activities that may relate. The planning process requires the recollection and modification of ideas in order to utilize previous experience.
