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

Whenever I see speaakers addressing the needs of students and educators in the "new future" I get impatient to see it right now. Change is slow and it seems we have been preparing for this for a long time. I do want to go away with technology tools that I can use daily in my classroom. Technology will not only give my students access to vast amounts of information, but will also prepare them to use technology tools they will use in their workspaces of the future. And of course-technology is a natural means of communication to them, so we are using one of their preferred languages to teach them. = = =Asking Questions:= Feel free to add questions here or ask them directly of Vivian or Cara

Will there be a time when teachers can get laptops for classrooms as a permanent tool? I am a special educator, so the library supply is less available to me; usually it is needed by larger classrooms. = = =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.

 * //Example: Students aren't engaged by traditional lectures// || //Example: Effective Learning Environments// || //Example: Engage students visually while accessing prior knowledge using a slide show made from copyright friendly images or a video from [|TeacherTube].// ||

=Exploring Resources:= As you are exploring resources today, create a resources list below that can come back to as often as you want.

=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.
