21st Century Learners:  Developing Future-Ready Minds

In this training, learners will gain knowledge of 2 frameworks that guide technology integration in education: SAMR & 4Cs. Both of these frameworks connect content and curriculum with technology and student learning. Learners will explore both frameworks and generate ideas on how their current work already fits into the frameworks and brainstorm ways that they can make small changes to effectively and meaningfully integrate existing technology into their content and curriculum. This training is a great starting point for digging deeper into technology integration.
