A. Tripathi (2004), Technologically Mediated Lifeworld

Technology has become an essential part of who we take ourselves to be, influencing our beliefs and desires, our plans and goals, our visions of what we are, have been, and might yet become. Our identities are to a great extent determined by the roles we play. And these roles are often created and constrained by if not wholly dependent upon our technology. In its many forms, technology is both something we create an expression of our understanding and our mastery of the world and something that recreates us, fashioning new roles and reshaping old ones. (http://ubiquity.acm.org/article.cfm?id=1670827)

The question is not which technology leads to increased productivity in education, but which new technology-supported methodologiesimprove student performance over traditional ones, OECD 2009 ICTs in Schools reportTechnologically Mediated Lifeworld, December 2004, Arun Kumar Tripathi

At home we just use IT, wireless is what is used and we can move between multiple devices, Laptop, desktop, iPad, iPod, mobile phone As mentioned in The Global Information Technology Report 2012 Living in a Hyperconnected World (2012)

Instead of looking for causality, we need to ask how we can improve and optimise the use of ICT in teaching and learning, and in doing so we also needto listen to the voices of the learners and the practitioners. pg.17 OECD 2009 ICTs in Schools report

Hyperconnectivity

over the past decade, the world has become increasingly hyperconnected. We live in an environment where the Internet and its associated services are accessible and immediate, where people and businesses can communicate with each other instantly, and where machines are equally interconnected with each other.

Learning Return

Researchers find that extracting the full learning return from a technology investment requires much more than the mere introduction of technology with software and web resources aligned with the curriculum. It requires the triangulation of content, sound principles of learning, and high-quality teachingall of which must be aligned with assessment and accountability. CISCO 2009

Concepts and models behind benchmarks must find an equilibrium between simplicity and complexity, because, by the end of the day, they should meet the needs of policymakers and practitioners. Pg.20 OECD 2009 ICTs in Schools report

Personal & Organisational Behavior

Hyperconnectivity refers not only to the means of communication and interaction, but also to the impact this phenomenon has on both personal and organizational behaviour. OECD 2012
