Today's K-12 classrooms have expanded beyond the walls of the physical classroom. Today, teaching and learning takes place anywhere, anytime. In order to deliver quality content to students, it's imperative teacher's are able to create quality digital lessons.

Today's students are entering classrooms infused with technology - in some schools students are even using their phones for teaching and learning classroom activities. This all sounds great - but you're probably also asking "HOW DO WE MANAGE THIS?".
Students in ED 410 have been learning about effective classroom technology management - watch this Technology Management presentation by E Tidwell to find the answer to your questions.
Students in ED 510 have been super busy - learning about technology resources for teaching and learning, then taking that information and designing, creating and presenting digital presentations following best practices.
This Augmented Reality presentation by B Prater is a great example of presentation best practices. Enjoy!
Students in ED 307 have been learning how to "flip" their future classroom. Enjoy their presentations in which they (1) define what "flipping" is all about, (2) discuss common misconceptions and (3) explain how this teaching strategy is transforming K-12 classrooms.

"What is an ePortfolio", you may ask?
An ePortfolio is a digital collection of work (evidence) that showcases learning or accomplishment over time.

Partnering pedagogies are GREAT for engaging students in the classroom. One example of partnering is community service learning.
K Wales presents a great overview of community service learning -
The best lessons engage the students, allow opportunities for exploration followed by a great explanation. Students are then provided an opportunity to elaborate through exciting projects. Evaluation should be planned ahead of time and consist of both formative and summative assessments.
This is a GREAT example of a technology infused 5e lesson plan, written by K Wales.
