Summary of Becker Connections

Page history last edited by Ms. Lipkewich 1 yr ago

If students have complete freedom and independence, without any teacher guidance during a lesson when computer technology such as gaming is integrated, then the four elements of the teacher mindset likely do not exist in the execution of the lesson: 

  1. there are no highlights or pitstops on the journey towards the lesson objective ("Mediation as journey")
  2. the teacher acts only as lesson designer and facilitator and not a guide on the journey where the teacher "positions" the student to question, predict or hypothesize ("Mediation as adopting roles")
  3. there is no mutual investment where teacher and student engage in social interaction and a partnership ("Mediation as mutual investment")
  4. technology is domesticating in its use to review or reinforce, rather than liberating ("Mediation as appropriation")
