Emerging Technologies Summer Institute K-12

Join us as we explore what happens in a classroom when students create, collaborate, and share through technology. How are 1-to-1 classrooms and iPads supporting best practices in the classroom? Teachers will spend a week exploring iPad apps and Web 2.0 tools focused on meeting targeted learning objectives, with a specific focus on the impact of the interactive nature of these tools on learning. This course will be adapted to meet the needs of beginning users as well as more experienced teachers.
