Agenda

Melding Assessment, Technology, Standards, and Evaluation to Create Effective and Meaningful Learning  

Monday, 3:45pm-5:15pm

 

Get Geeky! Join a leading Colorado librarian and teacher and learn how to meet national and state

standards while engaging students with inquiry based learning using literacy technology. Strategies for formative and summative assessment, use of non-fiction, and direct ties to evaluation will be shared. Options for ongoing conversation and collaboration will be provided along with interactive learning, action-based reflection and planning, and use of technology tools during the session. Teachers will have access

to an assessment and technology toolkit which focuses on the use of primary and secondary sources, non-fiction, fiction, and inquiry in the classroom. Through this session teachers will have an understanding of higher level thinking models and access to resources online to support student learning and teacher growth.
