=Video Reflection:= How did it impact you as a teacher and what do you need from this workshop to do that?

I agree that students need to use technology much more in their education. It's their future, and what their future jobs and careers will be built on. I think that from this workshop I need additional ideas for how to have them do high level work using the technology. I am comfortable with using and teaching new technologies, but I need to develop projects/activities/methods to allow them to learn/collaborate.

= = =Asking Questions:= Feel free to add questions here or ask them directly of Vivian or Cara

= = =Taking Notes:= Use this space to record your notes, observations, and ideas from the day's workshop. Format them in the manner you prefer. Note that you can use auto numbering, bulleted lists, and insert a horizontal line as a divider. Or if you prefer, you can insert a table and take your notes there.

=Identify Pedagogical Issue with Lesson/Unit= Based on this morning's introduction, examine a lesson/unit that you've taught. Identify what the lesson needs, how it supports inquiry based learning and District 279 Key Instructional Strategy.

= = =Taking Notes:= Continue taking notes as we explore the process of updating a lesson/unit.

=Rewriting Your Lesson/Unit:= We can't tell you the format to use when writing, but we can provide you with the opportunity, time and resources to begin that work. Likewise, feel free to use this space if you like.

=Create a Rational for Integrating Technology= As a teacher and a learner, it is important to create a statement that explains why you are making this change to your teaching/learning approach. We have created a tool to facilitate this process. If you prefer to write your rational as a statement in paragraph or bulleted list format, feel free. In the workshop we will provide a paper copy to write, but the file is attached here as well as a resource.
