Editor's Notes
- A total of 12% teachers fully integrated digital tools and resources in a learner-centered approach (levels 4b – 6), placing an emphasis on student action and higher-level thinking. None of the teachers reached the level of Refinement (level 6), an entirely learner-centered technology approach where disconnects no longer exist between instruction and technology in the classroom.
- These four conditions exist within a context that is shaped by policy, technological infrastructure, accountability demands, student abilities, community needs, etc Each NLE is nested within a classroom, school, systems, and even larger contexts. Michael Wesch (2008) defi nes learning as the ability to create signifi cance and distinguishes between semantic and personal signifi cance. Semantic signifi cance means understanding that “a word, concept or idea is not just meaningful for what it is, but also for how it relates, connects, and contrasts with other words, concepts, and ideas” (2008, video lecture). Personal signifi cance, Wesch claims, connotes that meaningful connections are created in the social interaction with others and through the individual’s process of learning to become a successful, contributing member of a community.
