ISTE 2015: Pending Sessions
Increasing the Effectiveness of Technology Enhanced Classrooms
Flipped classrooms, 1:1 initiatives, and digital tools have infiltrated today’s classrooms. The chasm that separated the curriculum and technology sides of a district during the Apple IIe/ MS-DOS heyday continues to challenge instructional leadership. Digital Age Best Practices is an empirically-validated set of classroom strategies that are grounded in 21st Century Skills and research-based practices that bridge the gap between technology and curriculum offering key stakeholders with tangible, empirically-validated support to promote greater technology use in the schools.
