Mapping+Technologies+onto+HPL

HPL, Technology, and Learning (affordances and constraints of the technology for learning)

Part 1: 1. Return to your mindmaps. Look at the technologies that you listed. 2. Reorganize them into a map that connects to each aspect of the HPL framework. In other words - think about which ones support the learner-centered aspect of HPL, the knowledge-centered, etc. 3. Some of you might have to be more specific about the technologies and their uses. For example, if you say word - you should state what it is used for. They you can map out the potential ways that it helps you get insight into learners (LC), helps in the connections from discrete knowledge to real world applications (KC), or how it is used as a formative or summative assessment (AC), and finally, in what ways it builds community (CC). You may find that some things attach to multiple aspects of the learning design. So you can connect them to more than one. This exercise is to help you think about the technologies that you use and consider theoretically where and how they help the learning process.

In images and symbols, how can you represent this framework? For an example see: http://donnadegennaro.com/Teaching/Student_Work1.html
 * I did not know where to post this so I posted my HPL Mind Map here. Thanks. Chris Shepard**
 * I'll follow Chris and post mine here as well**.

Activity: Imaging How People Learn 1. Personal Response 2. Guiding Questions: Explain the thinking behind your graphic. How does this use of technology help you to understand the material? What was difficult or different about this than writing?
