The first half will focus on a presentation/discussion. The second half will be a hands-on "play" session with participants using our Asus eee's to access the LPS wiki's, blogs, etc.// About three years ago, [|Karl Fisch] created his [|Did You Know?] presentation hoping to stimulate conversation for teachers at one our high schools. As district, we too began discussions about preparing every student and our teachers and staff to be 21st century learners. [|PLC]'s have sparked the sharing of best practices between schools and levels. Integrating student use of technology into their education experience has improved student learning. Silos between departments (school and district levels) and schools are disappearing.This has happened despite difficult decisions around budget cuts, ongoing decline in enrollment and school closures.
