The idea for this event began from a discussion surrounding the fact many GRREC districts approach technology related issues very differently, particularly in terms of the use of Web 2.0 tools/social media, digital citizenship, one-to-one initiatives, and the use of personal digital devices in the school environment. Some districts have been very progressive in their thinking of the tools they provide to teachers and students, while others seem to grapple with how to manage such a feat. Overall the main impetus of this event is to nurture thinking focused on the responsibility we have as educators to develop good digital stewards who are digitally fluent and college workforce ready to thrive in a 21st century economy. It’s not about the tools; it’s about using the tools to deepen the teaching and learning experiences. Districts are encouraged to bring their teaching and learning teams. In an interactive discussion format, your team will have the opportunity to listen to suggested best practices while planning how those might fit into your own district's vision. Here you will find many resources to support your efforts in continuing the conversations within your own districts.
