MODEL! MODEL! MODEL!
Modeling technology usage is key if administrators want teachers to play an active role in technology integration.
“The most effective way school administrators can promote technology use is to themselves be knowledgeable and effective users of technology,” says Betty Kistler, computer technology coordinator at Tuckahoe School in Southampton, New York.

Authentic Learning: Not Easy, But It Can Be Done
Both, the traditional classroom and online learning fail to address the issue that neither approach to instructional delivery maximizes learning. Join in the conversation about providing students with opportunities to achieve critical and analytical thinking skills which are authentic tasks and continuous embedded assessment and feedback. |

Re-D(esign) Your PD
Professional development is much more than “drive-by” or “one-size-fits-all” training. Effective PD is job embedded, connected with other topics, planned over time, and comprehensive. It fosters reflective practice and includes time for to teachers to make changes to their instruction. |

2020 Vision: 21-Century Learning Models
Twenty-first-century learning should not be controversial. It is simply an effort to define modern learning, using modern tools. The intent of this panel is to foster a discussion centered on the skills and knowledge students need to succeed in work, life, and citizenship, as well as the support systems necessary for 21st-century learning outcomes.
“If ten years from now, we are still debating 21st-century learning, it would be a clear sign that a permanent myopia has clouded what should be 2020 vision.” -Milton Chen
