Building Thinking Classrooms and Your Classroom

How can the Building Thinking Classrooms framework transform your classroom into a space where students think more, engage deeply, and solve problems creatively? In this hands-on session, explore how technology can enhance collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. From graphing technology to coding and rich thinking tasks, discover practical strategies that have brought my classroom to life--and can do the same for yours!
