Going back to a little of what I posted in last weeks articles, why does this framework have to be about tech. You can easily remove every reference to technology, replace it with media, and it will work for all education. I dont feel this is a technology framework. It is a good education framework that good teachers do with all the ways that they introduce material to their students. To make technology successful, just use the same teaching techniques that have been associated with those great teachers and apply it to the technology you want to use. Some technologies make it easier to accomplish certain tasks and provide new possibilities to use. But the “framework” and basics of good quality teaching are the same no matter the media IMO.
What is the Triple E?

I think this framework assumes that teachers aren’t going to apply the same techniques that have worked successfully in their class to the technology they are going to utilize. Relating to real world experiences isn’t a technology idea, but a teaching idea that has been around for decades. 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.

I think this sentence is key and explains how EEE is different to other frameworks that do not focus on learning goals. There is a big assumption however that teachers already know how to use tech in their classrooms in order to be able to encourage EEE. New teachers still need a framework (in my opinion) to follow to help them to understand how to integrate tech in a meaningful way. I also like the PURIA model

Good teaching and pedagogical practices! Hit the nail on the head!

This sentence is key when we think about how to integrate technology. The use of tech should be aligned to good teaching and good pedagogy and also encourage EEE! I love this model Extend Enhance and Engage as this encourages tech to be used at a level that promotes not only engagement, but higher order thinking and learning extend beyond the classroom. This is the goal for using tech in the classroom.
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.
