Beyond Engagement: Designing Meaningful Learning with the Triple E Framework
Workshop Description
This session explores how the Triple E Framework supports intentional technology integration that enhances and extends student learning. The framework provides teachers with clear guidelines for evaluating when and how to use technology to maximize its impact, moving beyond simple tool use to deeper, more meaningful learning experiences. Through real classroom examples, participants will examine what effective use of technology looks like in practice and how small shifts can lead to deeper learning outcomes. Leave with practical strategies and a clear framework for making thoughtful, impact driven technology decisions.
