Teaching with Technology

TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY

Change is energy. It drives the future.

Change is connections. The future is created, one connection at a time.

The Lorenz butterfly represents the energy of change and connectedness.

Perhaps no human skill we possess has and is being changed by technology more than literacy. Today we read codes of light on a screen.

What and how will we need to teach a child of the 21st Century so that child grows up to be fully literate ?

Explore this essential question with us . . .
as we work to understand the old and new literacies and their implications for learning and teaching with technology across the curriculum.
