I have never heard of McDonald’s paradigms of computer use but I am interested in how computer use can be classified:
Instructional Computing. Behaviourist and individual.
Revelatory Computing. Students learn through exploratory exercises and multi-media.
Conjectural Computing. Students manipulate and test ideas and hypotheses. Constructivist.
Emancipatory Computing.
One of the main messages I got from this reading is that teachers must encourage and promote metacognition for students to make use of potential benefits of computers.
