Chapter Overview
Chapter 1 is an introduction and overview for the textbook. The chapter sets the stage for 21st
century learning as the authors discuss the influence of technology and media on the roles of
teachers and students in the classroom. The text expresses the need for students to master core
skills and gain 21st century knowledge. Teachers are thereby challenged with facilitating this
process by selecting appropriate media and technologies, and creating learning experiences that
effectively use available tools and resources.
Chapter 1 opens with a discussion of a Framework for 21st Century Learning, The 21st Centrury
Teacher, The 21st Century Learner, 21st Century Learning Literacies, and 21st Century Learning
Environments, followed by The Role of Standards, and finally, Copyright Concerns. The
authors point out the difference between technology and instructional technology and discuss the
status of the technology gap. This chapter discusses both the digital teacher and the digital
student, as well as NETS for teachers and common core. The chapter concludes with a
discussion of copyright law.
Using This Chapter
Chapter 1 provides background information about 21st century classrooms, teachers, and students
and it is an advance organizer for the rest of the book. Undergraduate students in teacher
preparation programs and in-service teachers will most likely prefer dealing with those parts of
Chapter 1 that relate directly to the role of the teacher and to the teaching process. If the book is
being used as an introduction to graduate study in our field, then Chapters 1 and 2 can be used as
a conceptual framework for the course. The students should be directed to material that might be
optional for undergraduates. For example, a graduate class could study the history of the field.
INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES
Suggested Materials
1. Locate a short video about the progression of technology advancement; there are many
high quality videos available for free on the Internet.
2. Have students bring their mobile devices, laptops, and/or smart phones to class.
Introduction
Suggested Activity. Begin the course with an informal discussion using the following questions:
How has technology changed the last 10 years, 20 years?
How do you use technology today in your personal, professional, or academic life?
How did your students use technology in their high schools?
How do your students currently use technology in and out of school?
You might also have your students view a video on the subject of technology advancement.
Such videos can be streamed for free from a variety of Internet sources such as YouTube.
Instructional Technology
Technology and 21st century learning are introduced early in the chapter. The relationship
between technology and instructional strategies should be pointed out, i.e., instructional
technology. Technology is not a classroom cure-all but it does offer benefits to teachers and
students. Discuss the technology gap and the benefits of instructional technologies.
Suggested Activity. You may want to assign individual students or groups of students a specific
topic (the technology gap, Internet safety, communities of practice, etc.) and ask them to make a
brief presentation to the class or to write a short paper. An excellent resource for K-12
technology research can be found at PBS Teachers on the PBS website.
Media Formats
Suggested Activities.
1. Divide the class into groups. Each group should use a laptop or mobile device to
connect to their social media website of choice (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) The
group should discuss how this social media can be of benefit to a classroom. How can it
be used? What is the advantage? What is the limitation or danger?
2. Differentiate between technology and media. Differentiate among media, media format,
and instructional materials. Share examples with your students. Have the students look
around the classroom or flip through the text for ideas to share with the class. Possible
discussions: Which examples are technology-based? Does technology improve the
quality of instructional materials?
Teacher Use of Technology and Media
Teacher-centered instruction uses technology and media to support the presentation of
instruction. Point out that an entire chapter (chapter 3) is devoted to integrating technology and
media into instruction. Help your students make connections to class discussions/activities and
the ASSURE model, NETS-T, and CCLS.
Suggested Activities.
1. Describe a digital teacher.
2. If available, use mobile devices or Personal Response Systems for formative assessment
and student engagement during class. Poll Everywhere is a free audience response
system that uses mobile phones, Twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-
time.
3. Have your students observe a K-12 teacher and report the learning activities in which the
teacher used technology. Or, interview a teacher to find out about their experiences with
instructional technology.
4. Have students locate and consider joining communities of practice. CoPs can be local
groups meeting in physical spaces (call your local school district or ask local teachers for
suggestions) and online. Internet-based communities can be found with a simple Internet
