12 Golden Principles for Effectively
Using Learning Technologies
Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age is now our reality and our responsibility. So how do we make sure we are effective? Dr. Tony Bates offers 12 key principles that will outlast all technological and pedological changes.
Read the full article for in-depth analysis of all 12 of the principles:
| 1. | Good teaching may overcome a poor choice in the use of technology, but technology will never save bad teaching; usually it makes it worse. | |
| 2. | Each medium has its own aesthetic. | |
| 3. | Educational technologies are flexible. | |
| 4. | Every medium has specific educational benefits and limitations | |
| 5. | Multiple media are usually more effective than a single medium, but this has to be balanced with efficiency. | |
| 6. | Interaction is essential. | |
| 7. | Student numbers are critical. | |
| 8. | New technologies are not necessarily better than old ones. | |
| 9. | Teaching is a skilled discipline, with strong theory and research to support technology decision-making. | |
| 10. | To exploit fully the potential of technology, the teaching also needs to change. | |
| 11. | Teamwork is valuable – but expensive. | |
| 12. | Technology is not the issue. |
