With the abundance of new technology tools and apps available to us, it can become hard to distinguish which ones have a useful place in a classroom and which aren't all they're cracked up to be. This course helps participants understand the technologies currently used in many classrooms, along with those which will become available in the near future. We will discuss which ones add value to our learning environments and which ones are just fancy hype. This 3-cr. online PD course is being offered July 14 - August 12.
