This week’s readings, videos, and objectives focused on designing student-centered learning experiences with technology. The homework assignment especially empowered group members to take a lead in implementing technology plans to enhance learning activities while addressing the needs of diverse learners. Furthermore, the videos and readings provided additional resources to assist teachers with teaching technology and design student-centered learning experiences with technology. Based on the readings in Using Technology With Classroom Instruction That Works, Pitler discusses the importance of implementing learning activities strategies that support cooperative groups. Pitler mentions a variety of ways to teach technology while allowing students to work cooperatively and collaboratively. Blogs, wikis, online courses, instant messaging, voice, video, and multimedia projects provide an array of opportunities for student to share and produce assignments. In the reading from the research document, McRel Technology Initiative: Intervention Program Final Report discusses the essential components of technology professional development. Additionally Soloman mentions the importance of administration leading by example and establishing funds for various technologies
