Learning Activity Types


Dr. Judi Harris and Dr. Mark Hofer of the College of William and Mary School of Education are leaders in the field of curriculum-based technology integration. They use an approach to technology integration that combines technology, pedagogy and content knowledge in a construct called TPACK. To support the convergence and application of these three areas of knowledge, Dr. Harris and Dr. Hofer worked with educators in multiple disciplines to find ways to enhance instructional strategies with technology. The result of their work can be found on the Learning Activity Types Web site in the form of instructional strategies (i.e., learning activity types) for teaching literacy, math, music, PE, science, language arts, social studies, visual arts and world languages. The instructional strategies in themselves are worth reviewing even if you don't want to use the technology that can support them. Note that some of the listed technologies are a bit out of date, though. Please let me know if you find instructional strategies that you would like me to find more up to date technologies to enhance them.
