Classroom+Technology+Integration


 * Thanks for your interest in Classroom Technology Integration.**

During this session, I will introduce you to some of the technology strategies I use in my classroom. All of the strategies have been successfully tried and tested in my classroom. I welcome questions and discussion during the presentation. In addition to specific technology examples, I will also try to demonstrate how:
 * Computer technology is interwoven into lessons and activities.
 * Students move on and off computers during the class as they utilize the technology as a tool for learning.
 * Technology is an instructional tool as commonplace in my classroom as a chalkboard or paper and pencil.
 * The strategies can be integrated using basic computer skills .... expert skill levels are not necessary.
 * Technology enhances student learning and interest in the lesson.
 * Technology provides a platform for 21st Century skill development.
