Technology Alone ≠ Better Results
“PISA results show no appreciable improvements in student achievement in reading, mathematics or science in the countries that had invested heavily in information and communication technologies for education.”
OECD. (2015).

Technology is a Means to an End
RedefinitionTech allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable
Modification
Tech allows for significant task redesign
Augmentation
Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement
Substitution
Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change

Think-Pair-Share
Think back to your Do Now responses and how you have seen technology used at your school.Would you classify that use of technology as more of a substitution for another tool or a way to truly transform student learning?Brainstorm a way you could use technology differently to augment, modify, or redefine student learning.In what ways can using technology as a substitution be a good thing for students?
