Join us for this visionary Webinar featuring ed-tech thought leader Alan November to find out how you can leverage your investment in technology to transform the culture of teaching and learning in your district. You will learn how to realign goals and create a vision that can outlast any change in the technology–for a collaborative, empowering, and global classroom environment. Join our Webinar to learn how to use technology to create more motivating experiences for students:
- Authentic audiences – Create opportunities for students to present their ideas to others, taking advantage of authentic, global audiences with technology such as Skype.
- Learning by teaching – Allow students to actively contribute to the educational process by teaching each other and creating their own tools.
- Collaborative classrooms – Enhance learning by using technology to develop participatory learning opportunities and engaged, communicative students.
Also, learn how Steven Halper is safely using Web 2.0 tools in his district to enhance teaching and learning environments and motivate students. He will describe the needs his district and challenges his district faced in terms of Web 2.0 adoption–and will share how he has met with innovative solutions.
