Learning with Technologies

According to Jonassen, Howland, Marra, and Crismond (p.10), "Meaningful learning will result when technologies engage learners in the following:

-Knowledge construction, not reproduction
-Conversation, not reception
-Articulation, not repetition
-Collaboration, not competition
-Reflection, not prescription

All of these areas are clearly addressed in the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS-S) as well. Collaboration is a key component in making meaningful learning occur. In my opinion, and an area that I need to work on as an educator is the reflection piece. You always seem to me starting something new before you have even thought about what you just did.
