What resources can ISTEs draw on?

ISTEs draw on a wide range of resources. One way to think of these resources is to consider three categories:

  • resources that are intangible and located within ourselves – what we draw on to make sense of the world and to communicate and build collaborative relationships with others;

  • resources that are intangible but external to ourselves and derived from others;

  • resources that are artefacts – concrete objects that often make tangible the first two categories and that enable us to negotiate and make meaning of new ideas.

Examples of what might be found in these categories are shown in the table below:
