Session description
Purpose & objective
This Department of Innovation program has received positive feedback from all involved. Parents, teachers, and students. They have reported increased satisfaction with this learning experience Noting the effectiveness of learning technology within the working world and having the ability to apply some of the techniques learned.
Students demonstrated higher levels of participation in school tech discussions and collaborative activities. Helping the non-tech savvy parents in some cases get involved with the learning environment on campuses. We started the program to learn and grow our students. But noticed increased engagement and participation from the community and other departments within Aurora Public Schools. I believe the purpose of our presentation is to inform and show this untapped resource; our Students. We want to showcase their talent and show the benefits of this program to whoever attends. Hopefully they can take this and implement within their district.
