RE: Ruben R. Puentedura’s Weblog: Technology, Change, and Process

The slides from my presentation at the 2009 ACTEM Conference are now online, and can be downloaded here. This is the original description for this session:
As new technologies appear, how do users react, and why? We will merge Don Ihde’s work with TPCK/SAMR to answer this, and develop practical examples to address it.
Additional resources on TPCK/SAMR can be found on iTunes U at:

I strongly recommend my BScE students to “follow” Mr. Puentedura and his Weblog.

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
