Which strategies are most effective for teaching and learning with technology?

Strategies that involve hands-on activities in which the student is in control and doing something fun and engaging have seem to be the most effective strategies for learning when it comes to technology. That is simply a given understanding since it differentiates from the typical paper & pencil work.

How can the students who do not appeal to the use of technology be involved completely?

Hands-on activities will always gain student interest the most, for the most part. Paper and pencil work is just so generic and any new way to get them to participate, learn, and work, especially if it is connected to technology, will be great.

Students who are not big fans of technology can always work with others and be more of an observer. Most of the time, students will just not have as much experience or confidence with using a computer as some of their classmates, so they just may need some time to get warmed up and fully interested.
