Session description

We all have our favorite teaching strategies, but many struggle with embedding technology in their "go to moves." Explore scenarios, templates, technology categories and free resources for “putting groove" (technology) in your "moves" (best practice strategies) with protocols like jigsaw; I see, I think, I wonder; and six-word stories.

Purpose & objective

Based on the Technology Categories for Purposeful Instruction, the ISTE Educator and Student Standards, and research based instructional practices, attendees will "Make the Move".
*Know about best practice models, digital tools, and resources in educational technology.
*Understand how to apply the Technology Categories for Purposeful Instruction and theie own instructional strategies.
*Make Connections between the resources, categories, and moves by exploring scenarios in teaching and learning.
*Transform the learning by moving through the templates to "learn the move", "put groove in the move", and "get moving".

Coaches, teachers, or professional developers will appreciate the templates and resources provided to help teachers transform teaching and learning.

We will outline a template to “make the move,” integrating tech into F2F and remote instruction. Using protocols found in our upcoming co-publication between Solution Tree & ISTE, we will take participants through several scenarios and activities to scale up digital age teaching and learning. Examples include protocols like “Jigsaw,” “I See, I Think, I Wonder” and “Six Word Stories,” where participants will use our template for integrating best practices and technology into instruction.
