COCISD TECHegies - November 2022
Instructional Technology and Strategies for Student Success
Happy Thanksgiving Season!!!
TECHegies - 4C's of Sound Technology Integration - Focus on Creating
Let's revisit one of the 4C's of sound technology integration. Using technology in your classroom to have students Create something using TECH that is related to your lesson. Remember, if you do not have effective strategies in place and are not having the students engaged in one or more of the 4C's when you pull out the technology, you could essentially be distracting from the student's learning. Using TECHegies will increase engagement and decrease the digital time wasters.
Below you will find strategies that will help you ensure your technology use is lending to the learning intentions for your lesson. Let's get our students CREATING with TECHNOLOGY TOOLS!
Toward the bottom of the newsletter I have included a few upcoming opportunities for Professional Development. Take advantage of every opportunity to put tools in your toolbox!
As always, let me know if you have any questions or instructional technology needs!
