Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works

I’ve been off this week for mid-winter break, and have spent lots of time preparing for my MACUL presentation.  I have a few book studies that I facilitate, focusing on Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works.   I’ll be sharing how I structure and facilitate my book studies, along with all the materials I use. 

Most everyone probably knows about Marzano’s nine instructional strategies that improve student achievement, according to thousands of research studies (Classroom Instruction That Works:  Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement).  This new book shows how technology can support the nine strategies.  I thought about writing a similar book about a year ago… wish I had acted quicker, as the authors beat me to it! 

My session will be on Thursday, March 6, from 2:30-3:30pm.  I’ll be sharing some on-line and printable resources that participants can use for their own book studies. K-12 teachers may learn about some ready-to-use tips and strategies that can make a positive difference for student learning.   Hope to see you there!
