Recognizing that technology is, and will continue to be a driving force in workplaces, communities, and personal lives in the 21st Century, Learning for the 21st Century emphasizes the importance of incorporating information and communication technology resources and tools into education from the elementary grades on up.

During this two-day professional development a district team consisting of teachers, library media people and administrators will be introduced to 21st Century tools to facilitate communication and collaboration as well as methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these tools.

On October 5th Naomi Harm will introduce communication and collaboration tools such as wiki’s, Google tools, Animoto, Poll Everywhere, widgets and gadgets and much more. You will not only learn how to use these tools but how to use them with your students in order to enhance and encourage communication and collaboration.

On October 6th Tammy Stephens will work separately with administrators and teachers. With the administrators she will provide training on how to collect walk-through data in the buildings. When she works with the teachers she will provide training on conducting peer reviews. Both these trainings are to help teachers and administrators evaluate the effective use of the 21st Century Skills and Tools they will be using.

Also here that day will be IT content specialists and consultants from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction providing training on Wisconsin Portals such as Badgerlink, WISCAT and Ask?Away. We will also review the use of Thinkfinity and have time to begin creating your district integration plan.
