Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age: A Framework for Inquiry
Technology is becoming ever more present in our schools. But to maximize its value for students, educators need a clear framework for how to make its use meaningful.
Join Larissa Pahomov, author of the ASCD book Authentic Learning in the Digital Age: Engaging Students Through Inquiry, as she shares a roadmap for teachers who want to facilitate authentic, student-driven learning in the technology-rich classroom.
Pahomov reviews the framework of five core values that support this learning and shares how to support students as they pursue their own inquiry-based projects. She also gives real-world examples of how teachers can use technology to not just support but also transform classroom learning.
