Technology In Our Classrooms: How to Make It Work Authentically and Meaningfully for YOU!

Our New Teacher Community SPRING EVENT, Technology In Our Classrooms: How to Make It Work Authentically and Meaningfully for YOU was enthusiastically received!  The team of teacher experts who chaperoned us through websites and apps were terrific and we all spent a good chunk of time working in small groups to learn how to use these.  May 4th was a beautiful spring day outside and it was pretty special inside as well!

If you didn't attend, here's the list of what we learned about.  Experiment, try it out, go online to see how other people use this and have fun!

A quote that we read at our event states: "Simply adding technology to K-12 environments does not improve learning.  What matters is how students and teachers use technology to develop knowledge and skills." (Zucker and Light, 2009)

With that in mind, during the next few weeks we will be posting interesting articles and resources about technology on our blog.  Please help us by sending some of your thoughts and good articles that have crossed your desks about this HUGE topic!
