Littleton Public Schools provides resources for teachers to reflect on creating an inspired learning environment in their classrooms. The document discusses synthesizing content, pedagogy, and technology using the TPACK framework. Teachers are prompted to consider how they would incorporate essential learnings, learning theory, classroom engagement, and technology skills. They are also asked to reflect on how lessons may differ without full integration of these domains. The goal is to help teachers create a classroom that applies good learning theory supported by relevant technology use.

2. Consider the diagram describing the intersection of Content, Pedagogy and
Technology. The context is to consider the technology you have at hand. Examples
may include netbook carts (EeePC), document cameras, clickers, SmartBoard or
Mimio, flip camera, digital cameras, etc.

Discuss the learning theory planned for your classroom and
the technology skills you plan to incorporate. Then consider
what an engagement in learning activities using technology
would look like if the lesson were disconnected from the
essential learnings expected in the class.
