The Big Shift: Using Tech Tools to Create, Make, and Share
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM, Sun, Apr 15, 2018 (ATLIS 2018 Conference in Washington, D.C.)
Description: The best way to use technology tools in the classroom is to create, make, and share. Making the transition from predominant “media consumer” to frequent “media creator” should be part of the strategic plan of every school. Each learner should regularly contribute to a digital portfolio comprised of both a private “file cabinet” as well as a public “showcase” that highlights exemplars of work to meet specific academic standards or to highlight personal achievement and growth.
