Learning First, Technology Second

I've been meaning to write about my involvement in a  book study on Learning First, Technology Second, by Liz Kolb with the ISTE EdTech Coaches PLN. I serve on the leadership team for the PLN and one of my responsibilities is to plan and manage an annual book study along with Gregory Gilmore, an edtech coach from Missouri. This is our third book study and each time we hone the process and it gets better!

The book helps educators measure whether or not authentic student learning is occurring when digital technology tools are integrated into a lesson. It also provides support to help educators make better instructional decisions when integrating digital technology tools. The framework is based on three components: Engagement in learning goals, Enhancement of learning goals, and Extension of learning goals. 

We were also fortunate to be able to offer a "meet the author" webinar with Liz Kolb on Feb 22. If you are interested in learning more about the Triple E Framework, you'll want to watch the recorded webinar!

Check out the resources on the Triple E Framework website. You'll find rubrics, research, case studies, instructional strategies, and more.
