About the seminar
Explore fun ways to successfully use interactive tools in your classroom. This online seminar will provide easy-to-implement, practical tips for integrating some of the cutting edge technologies in a pedagogically sound way into classes, regardless of the number of computers available. The presenters will describe how audio/video conferencing tools are used in their professional and personal lives, and share recent research on how concepts of technology learning in K-12 settings are changing and evolving. Additionally, this online seminar will explore how today’s “digital natives” (i.e., students) perceive classrooms, and the implications for increasing student motivation and engagement. Participants will be able to interact with the presenters through streaming video and live chat, and ask questions and share their experiences
