February+23


 * Presentation - Interactive Whiteboard - Mr. David Beyer**


 * For Tuesday, February 28**

This will be an assignment in a format of your choice that will address either (1) your answers to the course essential questions or (2) your growth over the course as related to the ISTE standards for teachers.
 * Concluding Assignment DRAFT (blog post):**
 * Essential Questions:
 * 1) //What do we mean by the "21st century classroom?"// There are a variety of answers to this question, but few get at the transformation in teaching and learning that can be brought about by the shifts that are happening in our world today.
 * 2) //How do we apply technology tools in ways so that we can more easily achieve meaningful teaching and learning in the 21st century?// Our focus on technology in education rarely gets beyond the dimension of technical skill. Education professionals must have additional skills to be able to evaluate emerging and every-evolving technology tools and determine how they will meet the needs of the 21st century learner.
