We'll explore five critical ways to design, create and implement meaningful blended learning experiences using Chromebooks. We'll also look at how to strategically ensure equity is at the core of each step. See student examples that focus on the power of creation and deeper learning.

Purpose & objective

This objective of this session is to give educators classroom examples and a framework for infusing Chromebooks in powerful and meaningful ways that impact student learning. We will look at the ways we can go beyond digital literacy to reach digital fluency and the importance of this idea. This session will use a variety of classroom examples with hands-on interactive learning to help teachers see, experience and take part in an overview of how we can use Chromebook to foster deep and effective teaching and learning in the classroom to go beyond the consumption model of note-taking and slide presentations.
