<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"After observing teachers and students interact with technology over many years, Liz Kolb began to wonder: How do we move students from a high-attention, low-commitment to learning with digital devices to a high-attention, high-commitment to learning tasks? Her observations led her down a path of extensive research that informed the development of the Triple E Framework (covered in the 2017 ISTE book Learning First, Technology Second). Kolb found that teachers needed a framework based on good learning practices with technology rather than a focus on technology tools themselves. With this in mind, she developed the Triple E Framework, in which the learning goal - not the tool - is the most important element of a given lesson. Understanding how students learn is built into the Triple E Framework, allowing teachers to choose the tool and pedagogical strategies that best fit the learning goal. Ultimately, the Triple E Framework is meant to support the teacher in making choices with technology and instructional strategies based on the learning goal and the science of learning. For Learning First, Technology Second readers, this book will build on their knowledge, providing a brief overview as well as new research, scenarios, cases and ideas for using technology in education. For readers new to the framework, this book will provide all of the essential research and tools mentioned above, along with an overview of the framework, so they can apply what they learn without missing a beat"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Building on the bestselling <i>Learning First, Technology Second</i>, this book helps teachers choose technology tools and instructional strategies based on an understanding of how students learn.</b> <p/>After observing teachers and students interact with technology over many years, Liz Kolb began to wonder: While students' attention levels are high when they use digital devices, how can we move them to an equally high level of commitment to their learning tasks? Her extensive research into this question led to the development of the Triple E Framework, in which the learning goal--not the tool--is the most important element of a given lesson. <p/>With this understanding, this book extends the ideas from <i>Learning First, Technology Second</i>, offering: <ul><li>An overview of the popular and highly regarded Triple E Framework.</li><li>A compelling myth vs. reality format through which to apply the research and strategies tied to the Triple E Framework. </li><li>A step-by-step process for instructional designers and tech coaches to use the framework with classroom teachers for better lesson design. </li><li>Twelve authentic lessons designed by K-12 teachers to meet all three elements of the Triple E Framework, with suggestions on how to improve lessons with technology.</li><li>Examples of how two schools have systematically integrated the framework across their district.</li></ul>For <i>Learning First, Technology Second</i> readers, this book builds on their knowledge, providing new research, scenarios, cases and ideas for using technology in education.
