| Access to vast amounts of information means that students can be true inquirers and not simply retell what a few others have said on a subject. | Good
teaching with technology is more than simply using computers. It
includes authentic uses of technology, higher order thinking, attention
to different learning styles, and engaging instruction. |
|
| Planning Curriculum with Kids | ||
| Planning curriculum with students can be a way to have them learn content from the disciplines of knowledge, but organize it around their own questions and concerns about themselves and their world. | Video,
pictures, sounds, text - all these are media that students can not just
use, but can also create with. |
What
are your skills and qualifications? Want others to be able to
access this information easily? Want to be able to show pictures,
video clips, and documents that support your qualifications? |
