Abstract: There are two ways that technology can be used in the classroom. In the first, technology is used mainly to optimally deliver facts and skills and makes use of assessments, testing facts and skills – a learning from technology approach. In the second, technology rather supports creative and active learning that is supported by a range of pedagogies, purposefully designed from complexity and collaboration – a learning with technology approach. This presentation explores, and makes use of, a framework to support a learning with technology approach and includes concepts related to collaboration, authentic tasks and tool-mediated knowledge construction. It is argued that while the use of collaboration and authentic tasks is important, a better understanding of tool-mediated knowledge constructions is required to foster deep learning.
