11. TECHNOLOGY AND THE BRAIN
- bringing exciting curricula based on real-world
problems into the classroom
- providing scaffolds and tools to enhance
learning, such as modeling programs and
visualization tools
- giving students and teachers more
opportunities for feedback, reflection, and
revision
How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School, authors John D. Bransford, Ann L. Brown, and Rodney R. Cocking
12. - building local and global communities
that include teachers, administrators,
students, parents, practicing
scientists, and other interested
people
- expanding opportunities for teacher
learning

32. 1. Your Passion:
• If you had to pick one topic
from your class that best
exemplifies why you became
fascinated with the subject
you teach, what would it be?
33. 2. Barriers to Your Students’
Progress:
• Is there a topic in your class
that a significant number of
students get stuck on, and fail to
progress beyond?
34. 3. What Students Will Do In the
Future:
• Which topic from your class
would, if deeply understood, best
serve the interests of your students
in future studies or in their lives
outside school?
35. Substitution:
• What will I gain by replacing the
older technology with the new
technology?
36. Substitution to Augmentation:
• Have I added an improvement to
the task process that could not be
accomplished with the older
technology at a fundamental
level?
• How does this feature contribute
to my design?
37. Augmentation to Modification:
• How is the original task being
modified?
• Does this modification fundamentally
depend upon the new technology?
• How does this modification
contribute to my design?
38. Modification to Redefinition:
• What is the new task?
• Will any portion of the original
task be retained?
• How is the new task uniquely
made possible by the new
technology?
• How does it contribute to my
design?
39. Collaborate with those around you.
Discuss the following questions and use
Google Docs to take notes:
1. What topic/task would you like to redefine?
2. What are you currently doing with this
topic/task?
3. Brainstorm ideas for moving above the line
to Redefine your topic or task?
