Contributors/Detractors From Technology Adoption “Instructional evolution is not simply a matter of abandoning beliefs but one of gradually replacing them with more relevant ones shaped by experiences in an altered context. Beliefs are a source of guidance in times of uncertainty; they are important in defining teaching tasks and organizing relevant information. ” • Dwyer, D. C. , Ringstaff, C. , & Sandholtz, J. H. (1997). Teaching with technology: Creating student- centered classrooms. New York: Teachers.

Examine Our Own Beliefs Technologies are cognitive tools for constructing meaning and representing understanding. Technologies are components of the art of teaching and learning. Technologies are media for transferring facts and information. Technologies are extraneous to the art of teaching and learning.
