technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning,
creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual
environments.

  • engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
  • promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and
    clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning,and
    creative processes
  • model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning
    with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual
    environments
