Abstract

When we integrate technology into teaching and learning, our challenge is to imagine and enact technology-rich learning environments in which both teachers and students can succeed in ways that technicians and administrators can sustain. We suggest three approaches to designing such environments; each approach is useful at a different level of specificity. In the classroom, technology autobiographies help teachers learn about their students' technological backgrounds and capabilities. At the institutional level, a "multiculturalism" metaphor helps teachers and administrators imagine locally appropriate models of technology support. In the context of pre-service and in-service teacher education, a heuristic we've developed encourages critical reflection by teachers as they learn and implement new technologies.
