Technology Driven Lesson Design

Study Notes

Identify learning principles and theories for technology-driven lessons.
Develop skills for designing and delivering lessons using Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
Appreciate the significance of Technology Driven Lessons in enhancing lesson delivery.

Introduced in 1946 by Edgar Dale, it showcases the progression of learning experiences from concrete to abstract.
Emphasizes different learning experiences to create effective educational environments.
The framework includes 8 M's of Teaching: Milieu, Matter, Method, Material, Media, Motivation, Mastery, and Measurement.

Direct-Purposeful Experience: Foundation of learning through hands-on activities.
Contrived Experience: Models or simulations used when real experiences are unavailable.
Dramatized Experience: Role-playing activities that engage students actively.
Demonstrations: Visual explanations using varied media to illustrate processes.
Field Trips: Real-world experiences that extend learning outside the classroom.
Exhibits: Limited interactive displays designed to provide meaningful learning experiences.
Motion Pictures: Engaging audiovisual content that presents narratives visually.
Audio/Recordings/Photos: Media that enhance understanding through sound and imagery.
Pictures/Visual Symbols: Graphic representations that support comprehension.
Text or Verbal Symbols: Highest level of abstraction, transitioning from concrete experiences to theoretical concepts.

A framework developed by Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler in 2006, integrating three essential forms of knowledge: technology, pedagogy, and content.
Content Knowledge (CK): Subject matter expertise.
Pedagogical Knowledge (PK): Knowledge of teaching methods and strategies.
Technological Knowledge (TK): Proficiency with technology tools and resources.
Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK): Effective teaching strategies that combine pedagogy and subject matter knowledge.
Technological Content Knowledge (TCK): Understanding how technology can enhance content delivery.
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK): Insights into integrating technology within teaching methods.
TPACK is crucial for effective teaching in a technology-rich environment, enhancing learning and promoting student engagement.

A structured framework for designing lessons that effectively integrate technology.
Analyze Learners: Understand students' learning styles, interests, backgrounds, and needs.
State Objectives: Define clear learning outcomes to guide lesson flow.
Select Methods, Media, and Materials: Choose appropriate delivery methods and technology to facilitate understanding.
Utilize Methods, Media, and Materials: Preview and test equipment and resources before the lesson to ensure smooth delivery.
Require Learner Participation: Engage students actively to improve retention and overall learning experience.
Evaluate Student Performance: Assess the effectiveness of teaching methods and overall student understanding.
