Presentation Title: Organizational Learning and Technology Collide

Presentation Description: Using Chris Argyris’s theories of learning, this presentation describes how we can better understand the way we make decisions when planning student learning experiences and considering the use of technology. Using Argyris’s Theories of Action show us how we can evaluate our instructional decisions, and exploring Argyris’s theory of single and double loop learning establishes a strong framework that can guide our decisions of when and how to utilize technology in learning.
