Description: Disruptive classroom Technologies (Corwin, 2017) by Sonny Magana, educational researcher, is the focus of this twelve-week online book study. The book study focuses on the question: Have we developed, at considerable cost and effort, classrooms that are digitally rich but innovation poor? This book offers a new framework to elevate instructional practices with technology and maximize student learning. The T3 Framework helps teachers categorize students’ learning as translational, transformational, or transcendent, sorting through the low-impact applications to reach high-impact usage of technologies. Teachers and leaders will find:

1. Examples of technology use at the translational, transformational, and transcendent levels

2. Activities, guides, and prompts for deeper learning that move technology use to higher levels of the T3 Framework

3. Evaluative rubrics to self-assess current technology use, establish meaningful goals, and track progress towards those goals

Here's what some of your peers thought of the course:

• "This was a thought provoking book study and I am glad that I participated in it."

• "Great class. The conversation was just as informative as the book."

Book Study Course Objectives:

1. Learners will be able to understand the three levels of the T3 Framework.

2. Learners will develop effective strategies to apply the T3 Framework.

3. Learners will develop resources for evaluating and reflecting on their teaching practice.
