5Ds Framework for Technology Integration

5Ds Framework for

Meaningful and Purposeful
Tech Integration in Class

Students use
tech tools as active,
reflective, and
collaborative creators of
new knowledge, taking part
in a culture that shares
their learnings for
others to learn
from.

Big Ideas of 5Ds

Framework

calls for a shift

from traditional
to authentic and
student-centered
learning

gems from experiences

Tech tools are not substitute to books or

worksheets. They are powerful tools that
engage, provide feedback to, and allow
learners to create authetic artefacts of
their learning.

Pedagogy and context of the students

come first. These provide the direction
and goal of the learning process.
Technology fuels it.
