Analog or Digital? Making an Informed Decision

.
How do we integrate technology effectively into our instructional practice? In this session, participants explore the five levels of technology use – from entry to transformation – and how to align them with characteristics of the learning environment (such as active learning and goal-directed learning) using the Tech Integration Matrix (TIM). We then practice plans for integrating technology using the TIM as a guide through a Hyperdoc. Through the Hyperdoc, participants will experience new technology tools and leave with a virtual toolbox of new tech tools for their classroom. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own device.

Why Even Online Students Still Need Human Teachers

.
Online learning abounds, in the classroom and outside of it. However, data shows that students who work both in the classroom and online have the highest completion rates. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have just a 15% completion rate on average. Could this be due to the lack of interaction with an expert instructor? While some students can work well without direction, most still need the human touch. In this session, learn about best practices for using in- and out-of-class online learning opportunities with your students while maintaining and strengthening the learning community in your classroom.
