"Learning First -Technology Second" including Triple E Framework Introduction with Liz Kolb
November 19, 2020 - 9:00 am - 12:00 pm (CT) - Zoom
Learning with technology does not happen because a specific tool “revolutionizes” education. It happens when proven teacher strategies intersect with technology tools, and yet it is not uncommon for teachers to use a tool because it is “fun” or because the developer promises it will help students learn. Learning first, Technology Second offers teachers the professional learning they need to move from arbitrary uses of technology in the classrooms to thoughtful ways of adding value to student learning.
