Supporting the most effective use of technology in classrooms and schools
This interactive session examines the growing diversity in America’s classrooms and how embracing this diversity can have a positive impact on the educational process. Utilizing statistics, classroom examples and imagination, attendees will journey through cyberspace examining ways in which students are connecting with others throughout the world.
There is no doubt that media plays an influential role in our student’s lives. In fact, most children spend an average of 6 ½ hours per day exposed to media. However, students today are no longer satisfied simply passively consuming information; instead they want to be active participants. From participating to producing, this session will explore the role media plays in today’s classroom and examine the research that supports its inclusion.
