The brief presentation I used to start conversation during my recent visit to your T.E.N. classroom follows. The purpose of this presentation was to introduce you to the idea that technology integration 'fits' in modern classrooms and to introduce some of the tools/concepts you will be working with during your student teaching and upon graduation. It can be challenging to talk about the integration of technology into teaching and learning with veteran teachers, but trying to put together a 90 minute session for education students is a different challenge entirely. I hope you found it interesting and relevant.
Ideally, some of what you saw and/or we discussed will be useful as you continue to prepare for the day you have your own classrooms! Feel free to come back and review this presentation over time and check to see if your perceptions or beliefs change in the future. For those of you who may be interested in the links shared in the presentation, they are listed after the presentation that follows.
