Abstract

With the increasing use of diverse technologies among K-12 learners the process of technology integration needs to be revisited. In this study we take an ecological approach to understand the impacts of technology on learning by conducting systemic analysis of tradeoffs associated with technology use on multiple learning outcomes. By analyzing student interactions, we examine productive and unproductive talk around different types of technologies. Our findings present quantitative and qualitative data to understand the distribution and nature of different types of talk around different technologies. We conclude the study by discussing the learning outcomes that different technologies supported and the need to take an ecological approach towards technology integration.
