pass it in. The only change is the amount
plagiarized. In today's accountable world, learners are supposed
to think, deeply understand, read fluently, know, and be able to
do. We throw a blizzard of information at them, but have learned
that there is something more than hooking it up and plugging them
in. In this three-hour workshop, 17 models for creating learning
experiences with teachers in the information-rich and technology-rich
environment will be presented and practiced. Each strategy sends
a topical study beyond the death by PowerPoint phase into a giant
high-think experience. The assessment of such collaborative experiences
ends with the assessment of the success of each learner. The morning
workshop will deal with the secondary curriculum and the afternoon
session will cover elementary topics. Bring your best ideas for
pushing into the center of the curriculum and making an impact
on learning. We will share those and create many others together.
