Chapter Outline

• Linking instructional strategies to learning objectives
• Types of technology for educational uses
• Principles for the selection of technology for educational uses.

By the End of This Chapter, You Should Be Able To

• Differentiate types of learning objectives;
• Select an appropriate instructional strategy for a given learning objective;
• Identify the types of pedagogical approaches and associated technologies to suit
particular types of learning.
• Provide advice on how to match types of pedagogical approaches and tech-
nologies to types of learning.

Main Learning Activities

1. Think about what kind of pedagogies that have been mentioned in this chapter
that impact the selection of appropriate technologies. What other pedagogies can
be added in the selection of appropriate technologies? What pedagogical
approach has been used in this chapter? What additional strategies and tech-
nologies would you recommend to go with this chapter in a classroom setting?
2. Suppose you are planning to teach an 8-grade student about ocean tides (or
another learning task of your choosing). Identify an appropriate learning
objective for a lesson about ocean tides. Then indicate an appropriate peda-
gogical approach to support that objective. Next, consider affordable tech-
nologies that could be used to support such a lesson.
