The State of our Learning Union is….CHANGE

Warning: This workshop is designed for teachers who can handle extreme excitement and engagement.

So technology in our classroom is not a passing fad and is here to stay. In fact it is driving education inexorably toward changing the way we teach, learn and operate. Take a look over the horizon and glimpse trends and changes in the teaching-learning moment, mobile learning and devices, flipping the classroom, content development, student services, accessibility and cost. This “500-foot view” of the technology landscape will give you a preview of how these trends will affect you, your students and your school today and into the future!

Topics include Windows 8, Office 2013, slates, mobility, and other technologies
