"Critical Issue- Using Technology to Enhance Engaged Learning for All At-Risk Students"
In order to truly address the needs of at-risk students we need to reconfigure our ideas about teaching "basic facts" to providing meaningful projects. Working with basic facts isolates students. What would be more valuable heterogeneous groups that allow for deeper comprehension. Technology allows this to happen because it is easier to use with complex tasks and provide motivation for students to participate in the activities. Technology also helps teachers create projects that are more real world base and allows students more relevant information than they would find in outdated books magazines.
Jonassen, Chapter 10
This chapter helped me understand why we did what we did in boot camp last summer. The idea of e-portfolios made sense at the time, but now I see how it really is a compilation of a student's work, and how it can best be used when it is an exhibition of growth over time. It seems much more effective when you address the main questions like; "what is the purpose, who is the audience, and what learning outcomes does it demonstrate?"
