The video here explains the framework, why it's useful, the research behind it, and how to use it. Triple E refers to the focus when incorporating technology use into teaching - Engagement in Learning Goals, Enhancement of Learning Goals, and Extension of Learning Goals.
Questions to ask to determine if the technology provides Engagement in Learning Goals:
- Does the technology allow the students to focus on the task of the assignment or activity with less distraction (Time on Task)?
- Does the technology motivate the students to start the learning process?
- Does the technology cause a shift in the behavior of the students, where they move from passive to active social learners?
Questions to ask to determine if the technology provides Enhancement of Learning Goals:
- Does the technology tool aid students in developing a more sophisticated understanding of the content (higher-order thinking skills)?
- Does the technology create scaffolds to make it easier to understand concepts, gather information, or generate ideas?
- Does the technology create paths for students to comprehend or demonstrate their understanding of the learning goals in a way that they could not do with traditional tools?
Questions to ask to determine if the technology provides Extension of Learning Goals:
- Does the technology create opportunities to learn outside of the school day?
- Does the technology create a bridge between school learning and everyday life experiences?
- Does the technology allow students to build skills that they can use in their everyday lives?
This site and the "About" tab house many resources for educators wanting to learn more about the Triple E Framework or use it to design their lessons in order to focus on the Learning Goals.
