Many schools have creative pockets, a class here or there where some truly innovative things happen. But what does this look like school-wide? In this conversation, we'll examine what happens when student-centered problem solving, injury, and creativity are at the heart of every grade from preK to 12.
Sharing examples and looking at case studies of how technology enhances teaching and learning, this workshop will focus on a history/social studies approach to teaching with technology, but will present tools that can be used in any classroom environment. Participants will experiment tech tools that have worked well in our daily teaching and have been practical and efficient for students' learning, especially in a project-based learning environment.
Tools come and go, but what remains? Teachers whose students use http://youthvoices.net will talk about what we have learned about the technologies that seem essential to our pedagogy after twelve years of working together to build a social network that promotes youth voices and connected inquiry.
