Program Information

This session will seek to provide some practical insight to help answer the question: How do you get reluctant teachers to understand the importance of technology integration and accept its inclusion in classroom teaching? We will focus on what actually motivates people (teachers as well as students) in the 21st century, and how we can leverage that to accomplish a vision of irresistible, transformative change. This is an aggressive agenda that should provide you with some great, practical ideas to help you model your vision.
