Developing Digital Literacies
Summer Conference
How do digital tools affect our lives as individuals? As educators? How might we use digital tools to engage students in critical and creative thinking? How can we help students to understand technology as an aid to learning, rather than a distraction from it? Participants will explore these questions and more as they consider the impact of technology on literacy.
Featured speakers include Jonathan Rochelle, project manager at Google and co-founder of Google docs, and practicing NYC teachers (elementary and secondary) who will share classroom demonstrations.
