    Dunseith High School: Integrating Technology into the Classrom

    Most technology-rich projects are low-level and time-consuming projects. Students rarely get beyond the technology to the thinking. Why? The problem is too many teachers use technology tools just because they exist in their building and don't focus on whether this technology tool is actually enhancing student learning. Participants will be taken through the integration process; content, assessment, standards, essential questions, and technology tools and resources. This is a hands-on session where participants will be able to explore web sites for integration ideas.
