Technology Integration
Teachers and students have been integrating technology into their experiences in a variety of ways. Technology is not just an isolated skill or tool. It's an integral part of the learning process. Students and teachers are organizing, collaborating, communicating, problem-solving, connecting, creating, sharing, and so much more. They're transforming and enhancing their learning in meaningful ways. Below are just a few examples.....

Rather than be told to make a ________ presentation to share your knowledge, students are given options that range from creating a video, talking avatars, interactive presentations, to a variety of online platforms. All along, students are encouraged to embed other resources that will enhance their message.
Technology skills and Internet Safety are embedded into the lesson.
