Who is truly using the technology in your classrooms the teachers or the students? Is a worksheet on Canvas or Schoology more effective than one on paper? Are teachers getting the most out of the interactive board at the front of their classrooms? The PIC-RAT model for Technology Integration provides educators with a framework to assess the impact of technology on student learning. This model not only evaluates whether new tools are transforming instructional practices but also examines whether students are interacting with the technology in active or passive ways. In this interactive session, you will practice using the matrix and discuss how the tool can be used for self-reflection or coaching teachers to improve their practice.

Become inspired by the story of how one class overcame the challenge of acquiring scarce and expensive textbooks by creating their own resources and discover how you can implement these activities in your classroom. Challenge Based Learning (CBL) provides an effective framework for learning as we seek to solve real-world challenges. In this workshop, the facilitator will not only share processes to create your own textbooks, but offer ways in which students can be involved and even lead the process to create their own textbooks; textbooks that can support future learners in the same classroom and beyond. Participants will be provided with iPads for this session and will walk through the steps to create their own book. Resources will be provided to support participants as they embark on their book creation journey with students.
