LEARNING ACTIVITIES DESIGN BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGIES

In this paper we present a set of orientations to support the design of didactic activities with technologies, within the framework of what some authors call "learning with technologies" and following a broader reflection on the pedagogical potential of online digital tools for information, communication and production of contents. This work is the result of a series of reflections and discussions we have had over the past twenty years under a variety of projects and studies. These efforts have the common aim of contributing to the identification of points of convergence between learning objectives and the pedagogical potential of digital tools. We follow a Design-Based Research work model, which also refers to the basic elements of Diana Laurillard's line of thought on the analysis of the pedagogical potential of digital tools and on the process of designing activities with those tools. As a result of our reflection, we aim to offer a model that serves both to question and to formalise didactic activities with technologies and that teachers, trainers, and other education professionals may use to take effective advantage of the pedagogical potential of digital technologies in the learning process.
