Learning and Educational Technology Technology can be used in many ways to change and improve learning experiences. Student projects (video for example) can motivate engagement in an activity which might otherwise not be particularly motivating. Project-based learning can also cause reflection and “communications” about learning for much deeper understanding. (Supported with a video of project-based student work.) 42
