The Triple E framework & ISTE

The Triple E Framework guides educators to support learning goals through effective, purposeful integration of technology. Lessons that incorporate technology are even more meaningful when learning goals account for one or more ISTE Student Standards.

The ISTE Standards support authentic applications of the Triple E Framework's three components- engagement, enhancement, and extension (Kolb 30, 35).

1.6 Creative Communicator 

Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats, and digital media appropriate to their goals

Chapter 3 of "Don't Ditch That Tech" identified multiple interactive apps for classroom use. Below are examples of how some of those apps could be used to support the Triple E Framework & the ISTE Student Standard 1.6.

Engage- Students could use Padlet to publish early drafts of their work or ideas. In addition to encouraging students to share their ideas with one another, this could also create an environment of social learning if students are asked to give others feedback. 

Enhance- Students could use Piktochart to communicate their new understandings through a variety of formats, visuals, and models.

Extend- Students could explore Google Arts & Culture to better understand the world around them through art and artifacts and even simulate creating their own virtual gallery.
