Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works (workshop)
 

• learn about nine research-based instructional strategies for enhancing student achievement,
  


• discuss ways in which to use technology with these strategies, and
  


• begin planning technology-infused lessons or units that use effective instructional practices.

This workshop begins with an overview of nine research-based strategies for increasing student achievement. Participants learn to weave these strategies into instruction using their own lesson plans. Participants also take part in guided practice in using five categories of technology with the instructional strategies: word processing, web resources, organizing and brainstorming software, data collection, and multimedia. By the end of the workshop, participants have technology-infused lesson plans ready to use in their classrooms.

This workshop is based on the material in Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works (Pitler, H., Hubbell, E.R., Kuhn, M., & Malenoski, K., 2007). Participants will use that book along with a customized wiki and blog to get real, hands-on experience with technology integration. This workshop is appropriate for teachers of all grade levels.
