Technology • Get students to be “authentically engaged”. • Students are immersed in work that has clear meaning and immediate value to them.
Technology • You have full autonomy – • You choose • The task • The time • The Technique • The team
Technology • School Policy: • While digital media devices are beneficial, their misuse may be disruptive to a positive learning environment and may infringe on the privacy and rights of others. • The use of digital media devices which disrupts the classroom environment is prohibited. These devices will be confiscated if students are found using them in any way which is disruptive to the classroom.
