Overview of Workshop


Technology Definition

• For today – Technology is anything that has to do with a computer, smartphone, tablet or the internet


Important Reminders

• Technology is only an enabler, it does NOT replace you as an educator – your role is still the most important role.

• Technology is not the solution to everything – balance is important

• Technology may seem intimidating, but it need not be – gradual implementation

• Children witness our attitude towards technology – may influence their future

• QUESTION EVERYTHING - CAN WE DO THIS BETTER?
