NETA 2007 Session
Session: Fun for YOU and Students TOO!
Our session will focus on technology resources we've found to ENGAGE students in their learning. Some resources showcased include iPods, clickers, mark/read scanners, Smartboard, and web resources. The tools we've found have not only impacted the students' learning, but energized us as teachers!
'The key to getting today's kids more involved in their schoolwork is not curriculum, certification, or testing,
but rather engagement.' (Mark Prensky)
