Five differences between two models of technology implementation

There are five differences between these two models, first is different levels of using technology. We have talked a lot about this, before 3p.m. model just use technology as a tool and use its basic functions, the power of technology is minimized. In after 3p.m. model, students can utilize technology to communicate with other for asking help and search for useful resources, they made interactions with peers through technology. Second one is different objectives of learning technology, first model teaches technology just according to school’s requirement, and set up lot objectives of learning this class, they will test students to see if they learned or not. But in latter model, students can explore different content and ways to learn what they are truly interested in. The objective of fulfill students’ interests, during this process, they learn how to use technology best automatically.

Third difference is driving force, in before model, learning process was driven teacher. Teacher had already done with syllabus and objectives of this learning. And he commanded students to learn following his steps strictly, students can’t any chances to use technology by themselves. Teacher like boss and leader, students just finished works. In after model, it looks like a student-center learning, students can decide learn what, how to learn and when to learn. Fourth difference is former model got more support, whereas latter model has less or no support, they learned technology all by themselves. Last difference is about attitude, in before model, even though teacher provided full support, but he can’t guarantee every student in his class would be interested in the content of teaching. If they weren’t interested, they would choose to ignore any positive thing that teacher provided. But in after model, students all followed their interested, no matter how many difficulties they met, they would try their best to move on and deal with problems.
