Students as 'Free Agent Learners' : April 2009 : THE Journal

Of those who have some interest in gaming, responses were varied as to its value in education. Sixty-five percent said it appeals to different learning styles; another 65 percent said it increases student engagement. Others said it allows for student-centered learning (47 percent), helps develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills (40 percent), helps develop creativity (39 percent), allows students to gain experience through trial and error (37 percent), and helps students visualize difficult concepts (35 percent).

But perhaps the most significant trend in education technology, Evans said, is the emergence of the student as a "free agent learner": Students want more control over their own learning experiences through technology and want to define their own educational destinies and determine the direction of their learning.

"This free agent learner is one that is technology-enabled, technology-empowered, and technology-engaged to be ... an important part of driving their own educational destiny. To some extent they feel ... it's a responsibility. They also feel it's a right to be able to do that. So technology has enabled this free agent learner. We have the opportunity in education to make sure they're on the right track and to be supportive of their learning experiences."

Technology Integration Matrix

  • What
    is the history behind the tool?


    The Technology
    Integration Matrix (TIM) was developed to help guide the complex task
    of evaluating technology integration in the classroom. Basic technology
    skills and integration of technology into the curriculum go hand-in-hand
    to form teacher technology literacy. Encouraging the seamless use of
    technology in all curriculum areas and promoting technology literacy
    are both key NCLB:Title II-D/EETT program purposes. The Inventory for
    Teacher Technology Skills (ITTS) companion tool is designed to help
    districts evaluate teachers’ current levels of proficiency with
    technology and is also used as a professional development planning
    and needs assessment resource. The TIM is envisioned as an EETT program
    resource which can help support the full integration of technology
    in Florida schools.


    What
    is in each cell?


    Each cell
    in the matrix will have a video (or several videos) which illustrate
    the integration of technology in classrooms where only a few computers
    are available and/or classrooms where every student has access to a
    laptop computer.

  • Transformation 

    The teacher creates a rich learning environment
    in which students regularly engage in activities that would
    have been impossible to achieve without technology.
