Study+Group

=**21st Century Literacies and Differentiation**= Working together, we will gain insight and usable ideas for creating a classroom enriched with technology integration. For Examination:
 * -A Study Group**
 * How can new tools and techniques be used to improve how we teach and reach all students?**
 * 1) How classroom practice can be enhanced by the changing nature of information and communication literacies.
 * 2) Examples of teachers and students using websites, blogs, podcasts, video-on-demand, and video conferencing to create engaging, content enriched experiences.
 * 3) Critical analysis of articles and video pieces related to changing literacies in our changing times.

Future sessions will build on this foundation and integrate academic choice, supporting a responsive classroom approach. The ongoing work will be to co-create a portfolio of literacy activities that integrate technology for K-12 teachers.

This study group will include: 8 sessions 9:00am -2:30pm with substitute teaching coverage (40 pdh) and the possibility of after school sessions 3:45pm - 5:15pm (.3 inservice credit) Sessions dates will be finalized in collaboration with group participants!
