Using Cognitive
Tools to Represent Problems
David Jonassen
The premise of this paper is that the key to
problem solving
is adequately representing the problem to be

(re)presented to
learners. The assumption that those external
representations

representations of
problems has not been confirmed.

Be
the Technology:
A Developmental Model for Evaluating Technology
Integration
Steven C. Mills and Robert C. Tincher
We launched a technology professional development
initiative
in a school district with the goal of extending
technology
use in the classroom beyond being a mere teaching
tool.
For teachers to teach expertly, we wanted them to
“be the
technology” by modeling technology use in the
classroom,
applying technology across the curriculum,
applying technology
to problem solving and decision making in
authentic learning
environments, and applying technology to
facilitate collaboration
and cooperation among learners.
