Via Scoop.it – Bildung im neuen Medium
Nevertheless, providing options in media is not the most important or pedagogical way to make expression more student centered. What is really important is to provide—within any medium—the graduated supports and scaffolds of a “cognitive apprenticeship.” That is, do not just provide the scaffolds and supports an early learner needs, but calibrate and adjust them to the changes in skill and development that come with practice—a gradual release toward independence. New technologies can provide vastly more differentiated support
and scaffolding than was available in the classrooms of print.
