Limited Capacity seats available

In this session educators will learn how students can leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving, and demonstrating their learning. Students can become empowered learners in selecting technology tools from a wide range of choices to set goals, develop strategies to achieve the
goals, and reflect on the learning process. Educators do not need to be technology "wizards" for this to be successful. Students can be empowered to be the experts in the classroom with these resources.
