My Ideal Technology-Enhanced Learning Environment

Kozma recommends that, “Designers should provide students with environments that restructure the discourse of …classrooms around collaborative knowledge building and the social construction of meaning” (Kozma, 2003, p.9).

The ideal design of a technology-enhanced learning environment would include:

  • Unlimited, but supervised, access to technology hardware and software
  • Expert teacher knowledge with support for technology use and current professional development
  • Constructivist, project-based assignments linked to real-world problems with the ability to be marketed outside the classroom
  • Interchangeable working spaces which transform to fir the needs of the activities and students
  • Links to industry, high learning, and cutting edge development in the math and science fields

Through this technology enhanced learning environment students would be engaged, knowledgeable, current and excited about discovering and developing learning outcomes.
