Kids growing up in the digital age have a different outlook on life and learning. Technology is affecting the way students think and focus. This course will explore how technology influences a student’s attention span, decision-making, reasoning, memory and ability to learn. Teachers taking the course will discuss how to integrate technology into lessons that will enhance student achievement while examining countermeasures to ease the influence of the negative effects of technology that impede student academic achievement. Participants will create technologically rich lesson plans and react to and discuss the use of technology in education. The instructor will contact registrants prior to the start date.
