Classroom Instruction That Works

PD Workshop

When used effectively, technology can enrich students’ learning, encourage project-based instruction, and help give students the skills they need to succeed in the 21^st century. As an educator, how do you make sure you’re using the right tools, apps, and programs to maximize your students’ learning?

• Knowledge of educational tools that support research-based instruction, including Web 2.0 resources and iOS/Google apps
• New ways to use already familiar technologies
• Access to a dedicated website and customized wiki to get hands-on experience with technology integration
• Access to hundreds of websites specifically tied to the instructional strategies
• Technology infused lesson ideas ready to use in and out of the classroom, for flipped and blended learning
