Triple E Framework: Engagement, Enhancement, Extension

Brief Description

Now more than ever, in this 21st-century digital age, students are becoming advanced users of technology. Therefore, to cater to 21st-century learning, educators need to be equipped with new and ever-emerging skills that can both benefit and enhance students' critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills.

Current educational practice suggests that educators implement some form of technology in their classrooms - but many educators face difficulties in doing so. Cost, access, and time often form considerable barriers to classroom implementation, but another obstacle is a lack of knowledge regarding how technology can best be used to benefit students across diverse subject matter (Terada, 2020)

This is where TPACK comes in. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge attempts to identify the nature of knowledge required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of teacher knowledge. The TPACK framework extends Shulman's idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge.

Understanding the Framework

At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content (CK), Pedagogy (PK), and Technology (TK).

Possible Benefits for Educators

Creating and Sharing Content

Technology has changed the way we tell and share our stories. Digital storytelling combines

the traditional art of telling a story with digital technologies which provide the opportunity to add computer-generated images, graphics, audio and/or video. Some educators are using screen-cast applications, video production platforms and storybook applications with their students to create digital stories to share with local and global audiences. As with publishing and presenting software, educators must consider the explicit skills that need to be developed for successful digital storytelling, as well as where and for whom their students' work will be published.

Educators are taking advantage of the many blogging platforms available today and using them in creative ways with their students. Blogging is proving to be a very powerful way of engaging students in writing and communicating. Having readers comment on their blog can be very motivating and even empowering for students. The feedback from an authentic audience can inspire students to become better writers (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2015).

Capitalizing on Digital Tools

Promotes Critical Thinking

Appropriate technology in classrooms increases students' academic achievement, self-confidence, motivation in class, and attendance. Technology helps students move beyond sitting attentively and listening and promotes more hands-on learning. TPACK promotes critical thinking by helping students apply what they've learned to real-life situations and develop problem-solving skills - two essential elements that support students cognitive development.

Media Smarts Framework: Canada's Centre For Digital and Media Literacy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What is Media Smarts?

Media smarts is an Canadian based non-profit organization that focuses on creating a digital and media literacy programs and resources to support teachers and students within the classroom be able to navigate the digital world (Media Smart, 2022). It allows teachers/educators to be able to teach students about how to effectively navigate the digital world as a responsible digital citizen. The ways in which Media Smarts does this is by focusing their programs and framework on four principles which are access, use, understand and engage. Which allows for students to become more aware of their use and presence in the digital world (Media Smart, 2022).

Potential Lesson In How Educators Could Use this Resource

Grade: 2

Curriculum: Health and Physical Education

Overall Expectation: D2. demonstrate the ability to apply health knowledge and social-emotional learning skills to make reasoned decisions and take appropriate actions relating to their personal health and well-being (Ministry of Education, 2019, p. 104).

Specific Expectation: Creating a Healthy Food Web: D2.1 describe how Canada's Food Guide can help them develop healthy eating habits (Ministry of Education, 2019, p. 107). ** For more on a lesson similar to this from Media Smarts Click on the Button Below**
Allow students to consider and explore the digital web, looking at the various advertisements that may come up and have them work in groups to create a healthy food web. Allow students to refer to the Canadian Food Guide to help and assist them in determining what is considered healthy or not. Allow students to be able to also connect it to the Media Smarts framework in the sense of being responsible, and looking at each ad through a health and consumer Media framework lens. Giving students the understanding to what the ads are trying to sell/show them and be able to think about what is being shown and said about these different foods, allowing students to be more aware online (Media Smarts, 2022).

Looking at this framework through the lens of an asynchronous online high school teacher using H5P and Moodle.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hello, asynchronous educators!

Have you ever wondered if the technology you are using benefits the learner or is just being used for the sake of using technology? I know I have questioned the use of H5P in Moodle. This week's focus is on Liz Kolb's Triple E Framework. First, you will watch a video where Klob goes over her main points. Then, I will use Klob's Triple E Rubric to assess H5P. Finally, I will list the benefits and limitations of the Triple E Framework in an asynchronous setting.
Reading and watching time: 15-20 minutes (more if you decided to use the rubric)
Klob has posted three rubrics on her website: one for lesson design, another for educational apps, and the third for lesson evaluation. I will use the educational apps rubric to review H5P. However, I invite you to use the other two rubrics to assess your courses and lessons.

When answering questions for the rubric, I had a difficult time choosing between one of three choices for many of the questions: absolutely, somewhat, and not at all. The main difficulty was that H5P has many forms of interactive content and therefore difficult to just give one answer to cover the 100+ content types. A better approach would have been to conduct an analysis of one specific content type.

Beyond the three categories of engage, enhance, and extend, there is a section at the beginning of the rubric that considers privacy.

The main benefit of the Triple E framework is that it prompts educators to think about H5P's content types are being used. At first, I was skeptical that this analysis is only good for the traditional brick-and-mortar school, however, after using the rubric, I also learned about new ways to consider the end-user. For example, the no-mouse consideration for universal design.

The only limitation of the framework comes from the need to analyze every created content type because all content types in H5P are created by the author. In other words, it is one more step in an educator's already busy schedule, but worth the effort if you want to have meaningful H5P lessons.

Overview of the SAMR model (Puentadura) by Elly Verlinden

Introduction

Technology is a facet of human life that has been constantly evolving, from creating stone tools to the printing press to artificial intelligence. Especially within our respective lifetimes, technology has rapidly expanded and become an almost inevitable part of our daily lives. However, using technology in both our personal and professional lives can be extremely daunting, there is always something new, some new term, new piece of tech, new approach to learn about. As such, within education a number of frameworks have been created to help us as educators effectively integrate and use technology in the classroom.

While not the newest or most in depth framework, the SAMR model offers a very approachable and easy to understand framework to help educators reflect on their use of technology.

Benefits of Using the SAMR Model

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR EVERYONE

Speaking from experience as a Learning Technology Mentor (LTM) at the University of Ottawa, assistive technologies are not fundamentally offered to all students at the university. Many of the students are unaware of the technologies that could further support their academic efforts. The students that are aware are the ones that are referred to LTMs by their Learning Specialists from Student Academic Success Services (SASS), leaving the majority with no idea that they can also request training from an LTM to learn about assistive technologies. While assistive technologies are beneficial for students with disabilities, they can also "be used in the classroom setting to help support a variety of learners" (Bruinsma, 2011). Educators should be given training about these assistive technologies to incorporate them into their classrooms as well as give a brief introduction about assistive technologies to their students so that the students can go discover more about these assistive technologies and try them out. Assistive technologies should be offered to everyone who struggles, with or without a diagnosed disability.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR STUDENTS?

All students that are struggling in their academics will be given the opportunity to gain assistive technologies and training to support their learning. Without limiting assistive technology to a group of students but offering it to all students will help with the students struggling that are going 'under the radar', meaning that are undiagnosed. By providing them with the option of assistive technology and the opportunity, they will be given a chance at more support during their academics.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR EDUCATORS?

Educators will need to be trained in assistive technologies in order to better support their students and implement the technologies seamlessly. Once all students are given the opportunity to use assistive technologies in the classroom, the educator will be able to support their students that are struggling in certain areas of their academics.

Hello, my name is..

Shelby Lidhar. I am a school teacher K-12 working in the Canadian public school system, while working towards a Master's of Education online at the University of Ottawa. As I am learning about the integration of emerging technologies in teaching and learning, my understanding of what being literate means continues to expand. Growing up, I was taught literacy simply encompassed reading and writing skills but the emergence of social media has transformed not only the scope and scale of communication but the way people relate and learn. It is becoming increasingly clear that we need to reframe pedagogical practice to support students in become confident, literate and active participants within global and digital communities. The body of research on current practices and best practices is ever growing and requires frequent reading and analysis as we navigate this new learning landscape.

There are a number of frameworks and Standards that can provide insights and guidance for educators as they adapt their practice for this new digital era. I have chosen to create this flyer to provide an overview of how MediaSmarts' Digital Literacy Framework can support educators like myself in developing the necessary skillset to "use, understand and engage with media of all kinds" (MediaSmarts).

What is the Triple E Framework?

The Triple E framework is a useful model intended to assist educators in determining to what degree the integration of digital tools within their course design helps students to achieve their learning outcomes.

The framework suggests that educators should empower nursing students by engaging them through interactive and collaborative activities and enabling them to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

This approach can help nursing students to develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and the ability to work effectively in teams.

I am a high school English teacher, who would absolutely involve the Triple E framework in my classes. Take Shakespeare, for instance. He intimidates the heck out of a lot of students because of the complex language in his "ancient" texts (well, they're not that ancient, but to my students, some think his works could have been published millions of years ago... they're so dramatic haha). But, Shakespeare is definitely hard for many to understand if it is their first time diving into his works. Even I have trouble fully understanding what he means sometimes (how can someone be both so literal and so figurative at the same time? SIGH).

MyShakespare is an excellent tech tool that breaks down his language for students, gives them a visual, and helps them to understand the complexities of the metaphorical meanings in his plays.
https://myshakespeare.com/macbeth/act-1-scene-1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Cp_5bvdPxc
When I taught Macbeth last year, I utilized MyShakespeare in every single lesson. Not only does it translate the text into modern English, but it offers video examples of actors acting out the scene, while including some humourous aspects to it, like mockumentary interviews and fun activities.

It enhances students learning by not just throwing a book at them and expecting them to learn; it makes it an exciting experience that encourages them to want to uncover more about the plot, and make those pertinent connections that Shakespeare aims for his audience to understand on a deeper level.

It also extends students with its poignant questions, to ask them to take a step back and compare the issues in the story to their everyday lives. It begs the question; can they relate to the treacherous Macbeth and his wife? Very likely not (HOPEFULLY), but haven't they ever felt moments of greed in their life? Moments of temptation, peer pressure, unworthiness? These questions that MyShakespeare offers gives students a different perspective on understanding a more "outdated" context in their current everyday lives.

MyShakespeare engages students because it makes them excited to learn more, to uncover the truth behind what will happen in his plays, and encourage them to care about the characters' demises further now that they understand them better.

Like every tool, it obviously has limitations. If students are hard of seeing or blind, there are no described visuals for them. If students are hard of hearing of deaf, there is only the option to read what the text says; unfortunately, there is no sign language for them to watch in order for them to hear what the modern-acted out parts sound like. Also, the tool does not just automatically make students understand what is going on; they still have to put in the work! Shakespeare's translations include language that is still difficult to follow, and will likely render students lost if they do not use all of the elements to help understand what is going on in the play. But, at its core, this source helps to ignite a love of English and literature in students, to build upon that in their four years of high school, and hopefully thus after. The website can also be finicky and experiences crashes, but for the most part, I've had nothing but positive experiences with MyShakespeare, and I can't recommend it enough!
