Session description
Purpose & objective
As a result of participating, faculty, staff, and admin will leave with examples and ideas of how to integrate technology on their campuses.
Educational or infrastructure challenge/situation:
College and university students not prepared for the technology demands of their LMS and assignments that utilize applications such as word processing and slideshow creation. Strengthening technology at the K-12 level to support K-12 students and set them up for success in higher education.

I have over 15 years of teaching computer classes at the K-12 level. I will share my experiences and examples of projects that they can integrate into their classroom.
Lesson plans or instructional activities/strategies employed (include a brief description of your instructional electronic resources or tools used).
