Reimagining Learning with Collaborative Technology

Re-imagining Learning with collaborative technology: with Julia Leong, Apple Distinguished Educator, November Learning Associate

Cranbrook Event - August 23rd

Nelson Event - August 24th

Technology is changing how we think about learning and teaching. Employers are looking for creativity, problem solving, and collaborative colleagues. Collaboration requires a cohesive vision, new attitudes, and support to achieve school goals. Literacy was once thought of as a  consumptive process, but new tools have made creating an equally important part of literacy. We will discuss why collaboration tools are significant, how students are using them, and implications for teaching and learning.
