Active Learning With Technology ll
In the original Active Learning With Technology, participants learned how to introduce technology into the school curriculum. In this updated version, we move to the next step in the use of technology in the classroom: immersion. Using proven methods and the latest trends in technology, participants will discover, explore, and immerse themselves in the creation and use of technology tools. Using the power of Web 2.0 applications, social networking, multimedia tools, and their own creativity, participants will begin to chart the path of the next phase of the technology revolution. Who Should Attend:Teachers, administrators and technology specialists who are comfortable with technology. Basic computer skills like Web navigation and file creation are required. Educators who are looking for ways to make technology pervasive in their classrooms understand more about how technology affects student learning, and support students as they master the curriculum will benefit from this course.
Objectives:
You will learn
- the technologies that are changing the way students think, act, and participate in their own learning;
- how to create communication tools like blogs and podcasts; and
- how to harness the power of students’ prior knowledge in a way that lets them take charge of their own learning.
