    1. Problem Solving Using technologies to express and convey learner knowledge all entail different kinds of problem-solving.

      huh? Can someone explain this point?

      I was wondering where this excerpt came from since it wasn't recognized at the top of the page before the reading

    3. learners must express what they know. Using different tools requires learners to express what they know in different ways. Technologies can be used to help learners express themselves in writing. Learners can express themselves using a variety of tools, such as databases, spreadsheets, and expert systems, each tool requiring different forms of expression. Technologies can support verbal expression,

      This is a great point of how tech can be beneficial to aid students in facilitating a demonstration of their knowledge and skills

    4. People most commonly think of syllogism as analogies. A syllogism is a four-part analogy. For example, love is to hate as peace is to ———. The analogy makes sense only if the structural characteristics of the first analogy can be applied to the second

      another helpful breakdown of these very common literary devices!

    5. understanding a new idea is best accomplished by comparing and contrasting it to an idea that is already understood. In an analogy, the properties or attributes of one idea (the analog) are mapped or transferred to another (the source or target). Single analogies are also known as synonyms or metaphors.

      This is a really helpful description of what an analogy/analogical approch is

    6. students do not learn from teachers or technology. Rather, students learn from thinking—thinking about what they are doing or what they did, thinking about what they believe, thinking about what others have done and believe, thinking about the thinking processes they use—just thinking and reasoning. Thinking mediates learning. Learning results from thinking.

      This is a great point! I've learned a lot just from how my peers are thinking about the text we were reading and it made me think a bit deeper about my own perspective.

    7. Technologies support meaningful learning when they fulfill a learning need—when interactions with technologies are learner-initiated and learner-controlled and when interactions with the technologies are conceptually and intellectually engaging.

      I understand this point, but I am questioning this a bit in relation to the previous statement that students are using technology to regurgitate information. How do we shift this mindset on how they are using tech?

    8. But what are the students producing? Too often, they use technology to reproduce what the teacher or textbook tells them or copy what they have learned from the Internet.

      How do we fix this problem? How do we get students to produce instead of reproduce?

    9. With every other technology, including computers, educators recognized its importance and debated how to apply each nascent commercial technology for educational purposes. Unfortunately, educators have almost always tried to use technology to teach students in the same ways teachers have always taught.

      suggests that we need to change the approach to educating students with these technologies

    10. You will learn about a variety of new tech tools and then create an assignment where the tool is used by the teacher and/or the students.

      Learning objective!
