Effective Integration of Technology in the Classroom
Technology is a tool that can powerfully impact student learning when used appropriately. Rather than allowing the integration of technology to become an end goal in itself, implementation should utilize technology as a tool for achieving the learning outcomes educators have always sought—transforming students into creative, independent thinkers with a mastery of the standards. Emphasis will be placed on a systematic approach to integration to boost student engagement, connect to the real world, and challenge students to think critically. As the presenters discuss specific techniques and strategies, participants will be invited to engage in collaborative discussions.
