Lance's session will be interactive and engaging - a great model for instruction!
Participants will come back from this session with ideas that will stretch teacher and student thinking - ideas you can implement the next day, as well as tips and tools needed to share this with your teachers.
Agenda
Heuristic Augmented Learning Lab
Uber, Post-It Notes, microwaves, space travel, and even Google itself grew as tangents spun from existing tools. In this session you will work in groups to complete a digital challenge woven from familiar tools to form an immersive, collaborative experience.

Go hands on in this interactive session and explore the popular DEN Blog series “Spotlight on Strategies”. Instructional leaders will leave with classroom-ready tips and tricks for integrating digital media into instruction and the tools they need to share this with their teachers.
