Meaningful learning presupposes authentic learning and students should bee given the opportunity to actively construct their own understanding, define their own learning goals and evaluate their ongoing achievements. Through such processes, they can also understand the importance of building knowledge collaboratively. These characteristics of meaningful learning are not exhaustive. For this assignment, you are expected to describe the aspects of meaningful learnign intended for your lesson idea and how it can be accomplished using information and communications technology.
