Week 2 Blog-Technology Integration

    The Triple E Framework created in 2011 is a technology integrated framework as described in the logo

including 3 levels- Extend, Enhance, Engage learning goals.  According to Kolb (2015), “The Triple E

is a practical framework that measures the degree to which the technology in a lesson is helping students

meet the learning goals.” This framework assists educators in selecting vital tools to achieve their own

goal to ultimately help create a rich environment for students' growth. This framework can be used in any

content area and specifies the importance the teacher serves as a facilitator and implementer for the

technology integration to be a success. 

    The district uses the evaluative document, T-TESS, under the Planning Dimension 1.1-Standards and Alignment states  “Integration of technology to enhance mastery goal(s).” (T-TESS) which is the only alignment  to the Triple E Framework. This  model dives deeper in the 3 E’s and shows promise. This framework addresses the most current approaches to thinking when it comes to technology used by educators to facilitate learning and growth for students. Level 1 - Engagement dives deeper by not only capturing the attention but also the desire to learn the content by collaborating with others through technology. While level 2- Enhanced explains “value added”, or where the traditional methods would not be able add to the learning like technology would (Kolb). Finally level 3- Extend- involves having multiple strategies available to teacher and student to make connections to the real world. 

One connection to the ISTE standard is using collaborative tools to enhance student learning while also creating real world experiences. Another connection is facilitating student ownership of goals where the Triple E framework emphasizes the engagement in partner or group setting to share learning while the ISTE considers both independent and groups. 

    This framework does not align with the current evaluation tool because this framework is specific and detailed in the 3 E’s, Engagement, Enhanced, and Extend while the evaluative tool states to integrate technology into the curriculum and planning but does not provide a framework on how to adequately use it to its optimal potential.

Biography: Hello, My name is Lorena Rubio and married with a beautiful 9 month old baby girl! I am a certified bilingual educator with EC-6 and in my fifth year of teaching. This is my second year in 1st grade as a Dual Language Teacher in Texas but previously taught Bilingual Kindergarten and Pre-kindergarten. My favorite grade level is first grade! When I first started the Dual language program at my current district, I was intimidated by the fact of teaching Spanish learners versus only teaching Spanish speakers as a bilingual teacher at my previous district. The Dual language program used at my campus is the 2-way, meaning the group of students composed of Spanish speakers and Spanish learners. I am blessed to give back to the bilingual program that helped me achieve to become a bilingual teacher. I am a product of the same district I am currently teaching! Although I am only in my fifth year of teaching, I would like to support teachers digitally and provide them with abundant res...

Part 1: My name is Lorena Rubio. I am in my 5th year teaching and currently teaching 1st grade Dual Language. I enjoy teaching but have found an interest in technology! I would love to work with more of the aspect of technology within the education field. Super excited to start! Part 2: In my district, the rubric used is the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). https://teachfortexas.org/ This evaluative rubric is used yearly, uses a scale to rate from improvement needed to distinguish and provides descriptions that are specific under each category for the specific rating. The administrators use these rubrics to evaluate teachers in different settings or data such as observations, walkthroughs, artifacts, student growth and analyzing student data.  When comparing the ISTE technology use expectations and the T-TESS, two areas that illustrated good alignment are 1.A Empowered learner (ISTE) with 1.4 Activities (T-TESS) and 3.C Knowledge Constructor (ISTE) with 1.1 St...

Part 1:  Authentic Intellectual Work/Authentic Instruction & Assessment.   What is the nature of Authentic Intellectual Work?  How does it differ from traditional approaches to instruction and assessment?  The nature of Authentic Intellectual Work goes beyond the traditional approach in instruction and assessment. Authentic Intellectual work are skills that are in depth and transfer to adult life to make decisions and build great communication.  Discuss the components of Authentic Intellectual Work and provide deep consideration of at least one component by including a discussion of empirical (research-based) evidence. The components of Authentic Intellectual Work are construction of knowledge, discipline inquiry, and value beyond school (Newman, King, & Carmichael 2007). The components go more in depth of what is included. For the construction of knowledge, to be able to solve new problems organization, interpreting, evaluating or synthesizing prio...
