One of the most consistent findings in the educational technology research is that what makes the difference to students’ learning is the pedagogy being employed rather than the technology itself. Therefore, pedagogical decisions should drive the use of particular technology, rather than the technology driving practice.
Adaptive technology can be useful in providing students with personalised opportunities for practicing particular skills or recalling specific knowledge. In-build assessment and feedback opportunities similarly can be used to supplement feedback provided by the teacher.
When choosing to utilise technology in your teaching practice, it is important to consider how the technology will be implemented and any support that is required.
