What is the Triple E? The Triple E Framework attempts to define what it should look like, sound like and feel like to integrate technology tools into teaching in order to meet and exceed learning goals. The framework is based on three levels, Engagement in learning goals, Enhancementof learning goals, and Extension of learning goals. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they are distinct and different. The Triple E Framework defines each term and show examples of what makes each one unique and measurable.
The Triple E Framework is based on a considerable amount of research about what works and does not work when it comes to technology in learning. In particular it emphasizes...

The Triple E Framework was developed in 2011 by Professor Liz Kolb at the University of Michigan, School of Education. The Triple E was created to fill a gap that has been pervasive in educational technologies---How to effectively integrate technology tools in K-12 learning so they have a positive impact on student achievement and learning outcomes.
WHY Triple E? The research on technology and learning over the past decade is fairly clear, technology should be integrated based on what we already know about good teaching and pedagogical practices. Dating back to the late 19th century, the foundation of current teaching practices is based on the work of pragmatism. Pragmatists like John Dewey (1897) pushed for learning to be embedded in the student's authentic everyday lives, socially constructed knowledge, active/hands-on learning and full of choice. Since the early 1990s Research has found that educational technology with a "drill and practice" approach often has no effects on learning or cognition. Yet, most technology tools created for education are still drill and practice and in the lower-order of Blooms Taxonomy.
Despite media often claiming a new piece of technology as a way to "revolutionize" learning, that is almost never the case. The Triple E framework takes this fallacy of technology as the magic bullet learning into account, and allows teachers to become critical consumers of making mindful choices around technology tools in their teaching. It is a simple framework, based on research, that helps educators create lessons that allow students to use technology to meet and add value to learning goals as active, social, creative learners, in authentic ways.

For this week, please look for a segment in each text where you can reply to the following:
What does this framework for using technology in education assume about teachers and teaching?
What does this framework for using technology in education assume about students and learning?
Please offer at least one comment related to the assumptions about teaching, as well as at least one comment on each document related to the assumptions about learning (2 initial comments). Then, please reply to at least two different classmates on one of their comments (2 responses).
The Triple e-Framework, furthermore, enables teachers to design myriad of lessons using technology and instruction that motivate students to learn and solve complex problems. Finally, it enables teachers to use technology knowledge, pedagogy knowledge and content knowledge to, ultimately, foster student achievement and learning outcomes.
Sometimes as facilitators we have to quickly think outside the box John. Although we do not have all the technology tools at our disposal, we need to be vigilant in our opportunities to think quick and deliver flawlessly. Having the TPCK at the ready, we should always as teachers and instructors have a contingency plan ready to initiate experiential or flipped learning when the class calls for it. We have to anticipate when to use the triple E, if not always. I deal with adults and this is a daily assignment for me. Like the great Kenny rogers said, “I have to know when to hold a lesson firm and when to fold it and start plan b”.
Moreover, the Triple e-Framework builds on TPACK, but it puts learning before technology. In other words, learning first and then technology.
I love that you said, “In other words, learning first and then technology.” In fact Dr. Kolb wrote a book entitled, “Learning First, Technology Second” in which she stresses the importance of quality over quantity. Kolb (2017) stated, “The instructional choices that teachers make when integrating technology will determine how deeply students are embedded in the learning process and their long-term retention of the content goals in the experience” (p. 49). Working in the government sector, are you able to apply pieces of this framework in your setting?
Triple E has to be a balanced effort. Not sure how it is in the government sector or K-12, but we all more than likely share the same space in learning and daily engagement. This tool adds to the current tools we have and will only make us better as instructors and teachers. I hope we can learn and use technology together to create a better work environment for all.
