Unlocking+Leadership

__ 21st Century Tools for the Classroom  __ ** //  Unlocking Technology Through Leadership   // ** Technology is constantly changing and evolving in the hopes of making life easier. New types of technologies emerge every day. These technologies can help us learn, teach, inspire, create, express, engage, and experience learning in a new way. There is great and untapped potential in technology in the classroom. Part of the reason is because we need to explore what is out there and part of it is because once we find something we need to share it with others. We have explored some different types of new technologies. Now it is our turn to share our findings with others, to show them the benefits of using these tools, and providing them with resources to easily incorporate them into the classroom. If we want others to follow our example and explore the world of technology, we need to step up as leaders. You will work collaboratively, student and teacher, to think about the potential of a technology tool in the classroom, explore how it may be used in different subject areas, and create resources that can help others to use this technology. Your tasks will include:
 * Select one or two technology tools
 * Construct a set of possible activities that one could use the technology tools
 * Create resources for this technology tool (e.g. How-To Sheets, Video Tutorials, Screen Castings, etc.)
