Wiggins' view of understanding requires students to integrate facts, information, knowledge, and applications to develop understanding. Understanding, from this perspective, is an extensive web of interrelated ideas, experiences, and beliefs that transforms information from simple, memorized facts into knowledge that can be the basis for action. Recent research and theory have provided a relatively clear picture of how technologies can support classroom teaching and learning that leads to this genuine understanding. Moreover, teaching for understanding appears to result in students passing or scoring higher on high stakes tests.
