Experience a fast-paced session that highlights twenty-five timely trends, innovative technologies, and useful tools. Completely updated from last year's CMTC session, it covers technologies for all grade levels and subject areas. General and specific use artificial intelligence tools will be described. Strategies for addressing the challenges and benefits of teaching with them are included, along with multiple ways of using GenAI to save time planning lessons and creating teaching materials. Explore free tools you can master quickly, an update on virtual and augmented reality apps, the largest collections of free authentic artifacts, outstanding video and audio archives, new ways of reaching special needs students, and inexpensive little drones and robots. Hear about technologies and innovative ideas that do not yet exist at the time this session was proposed. The term "Electronic Constructivism" was coined by Maureen who links these technologies to what it is all about: Good Teaching. No experience necessary - just your curiosity and your enthusiasm about teaching. The agenda is packed, but you will receive links to all resources to explore later. The session ends with a raffle of "techy" door prizes. |
