The expectation of administrators, parents and students that all teachers effectively integrate technology into their classrooms is not going away. This keynote suggests a dozen simple understandings, strategies and skills that will allow those who view themselves first and foremost as teachers, not technologists, to maximize the use of technology in their everyday work. Happily.
Participants will examine some theories related to using technology in school — to improve personal productivity, to enhance current educational practices, and to restructure the classroom through information-problem solving activities. Second, participants will get hands-on experience using specific online tools to turn these theories into classroom practices. Designed for participants who think of themselves first as teachers rather than as technologists, all teachers regardless of current level of technology ability will find useful ways to improve their teaching.
Participants will. . .
- understand how technology can support education through personal productivity, by enhancing current practices, and through restructuring the classroom experience
- gain a hands-on, working knowledge of simple web-based tools in each of these application areas that can be used on return to school.
