With widely disparate access to technology educators can be at a loss to KNOW which technologies to harness. With the goal of maximizing student engagement and learning, we will explore a variety of available technologies and assess their Learn to harness the AVAILABLE technology to the best use regardless of limitations. Explore ways and means to bridge technology gaps while providing meaningful experiences with 21C Skills.
Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world. Educators: a. Create experiences for learners to make positive, socially responsible contributions and exhibit empathetic behavior online that build relationships and community. b. Establish a learning culture that promotes curiosity and critical examination of online resources and fosters digital literacy and media fluency. c. Mentor students in the safe, legal and ethical practices with digital tools and the protection of intellectual rights and property. d. Model and promote management of personal data and digital identity and protect student data privacy.
As a life-long learner, I am interested in contributing ideas and gathering ideas from others as we strive to provide the best educational experience for our students. I am a forward-thinker of technology use!
