But How Am I Going To Teach With Technology?

So your kids now access to technology at your school and you're wondering "What am I supposed to do with these?" Many teachers never had the opportunity to experience the use of technology in their own education. The good news is that there is over 20 years of research on ineffectual and effective uses of educational technology and lots of teachers are willing to share their expertise. This workshop explores how teachers might use the laptops to improve learning for all their students.
