Sign up here to receive an email reminder about this chat.As technology becomes more ubiquitous in every classroom, teachers are no longer asking why they should use the tools, but how the tools should be used properly. Incorporating multimedia—such as images, video, and audio—into lessons can help engage students in the learning process and prepare them for a 21st-century, multimedia work environment, experts say. However, being able to determine which tools further learning and which tools are a distraction takes a deep understanding of how and when to use technology in the classroom.
Our guests will answer questions about how to incorporate multimedia tools into the core subject areas of science, math, social studies, and language arts curricula appropriately, effectively, and seamlessly.
Guests:
Glenn Wiebe, social studies and technology curriculum specialist for the Educational Services and Staff Development Association of Central Kansas
