It can empower students to take ownership of their learning, collaborate with peers, and use their skills practically and meaningfully. It reveals voice and choice in the learning process while enhancing engagement, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, preparing students for success in a technology-driven world.”i  \nThe verbs used in that definition of technology-enabled active learning speak volumes about the potential benefits of digital tools within K-12 education: discover, analyze, apply, empower, collaborate, problem-solve, enhance, engage, critically think, and prepare. However, as noted in the National Ed Tech Plan, for too many students, technology use does not result in these verbs, but rather their classroom usage of digital tools and resources primarily involves actions like taking an online test or uploading homework in learning management system, more passive uses of technology. In the 2023-24 Speak Up Research facilitated by Project Tomorrow®, 75% of high school students and 66% of middle school students say their principal use of technology in class is to complete an online quiz or assessment. While online testing provides many benefits to educators and schools in terms of efficiency and potentially greater access to student data, it is hard to see how using a Chromebook or laptop to take an end-of-course exam in Algebra helps students develop future-ready skills like critical thinking, creativity or teamwork. Conversely, despite widespread access to technology in schools, too few students report regular access to digital tools and corresponding experiences that enable them to create, collaborate, and communicate with teachers and peers. For example, only 3-in-10 students in grades 6-12 say they have learning experiences in school that enable them to develop new content using multi-media digital tools to substantiate learning or explore new ideas.  \nWe see therefore a significant difference in classrooms where digital tools and resources are used to support active learning experiences that contribute to students’ skills and self-efficacy, and classrooms where technology is still used to primarily support students’ passive consumption of information or to support adult goals of efficiency. The 2023-24 Speak Up Research provides new evidence of the need to close the gap between students’ aspirations for more active learning experiences empowered by technology and current classroom practices that thwart students’ abilities to fully leverage a rich set of digital tools for new and more meaningful learning experiences. This uneven map of technology usage in the classroom threatens the long-held promise of digital learning to create a level playing field of opportunity for all students.  \nTeachers’ comfort and confidence with using digital tools more effectively within classroom instruction has improved dramatically over the past five years. Project Tomorrow has reported on that trend for the past few  \nyears in our annual reports. But the new emphasis as recommended in the National Ed Tech Plan is not simply on using technology to support traditional practices, but rather to think differently about how to leverage the plethora of rich and student-facing digital tools and resources, including virtual reality, artificial intelligence and increasingly sophisticated simulations and labs to provide new and more active learning experiences","cbCail59bAY3ctKT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail59bAY3ctKT","pdf",38664668,32,"English","# Introduction\n## Chapter 1: Active vs. Passive Learning Using Digital Tools and Resources\n## Chapter 2: The Value Proposition for Technology-Enabled Active Learning\n## Chapter 3: Closing the Gap between Aspirations and Practices to Create More Active Learning Experiences","[{\"question\":\"What is the report’s main purpose?\",\"answer\":\"To examine differences in classrooms’ technology use and students’ perceptions of benefits when tech-enabled active learning is a regular part of classroom experience.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report characterize students’ current technology use in class?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that a large share of students mainly complete online quizzes or assessments and rely on more passive uses, rather than using technology to create, collaborate, and communicate.\"},{\"question\":\"What is meant by “active learning” in a technology context?\",\"answer\":\"Active use of technology involves using tools to discover, analyze, and apply learning, empowering students to take ownership, collaborate, and strengthen engagement, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.\"}]","From Engagement to Learning - Closing the Gap Between Student Aspirations and Classroom Practices | PDF",1792060445,81]
