“Technology does not necessarily
improve education. Take a simple
innovation like the pencil: One can
use it to write a superlative essay, to
drum away the time, or to poke out
someone’s eye.”
                 – Howard Gardner

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Science Digital Curriculum Developer for 3 years9th year working with laptopsWork with middle and high school teachersMeet with them individually, plan content meetings, and offer professional development
  • #3 Just ran across this quote and loved it since this is what we have been stressing since day 1.Having laptops in the classroom does not mean transitioning what you already do to the laptop and it is not about giving up those things that will always belong in the science classroom like inquiry and hands on experimentsIt is about utilizing technology to meet the needs of all students
  • #4 The focus of today’s session
  • #5 I like to use an off-balance layout to keep things from getting too symmetrical. Customize this slide template graphics of your choice, including photos, clip art, your logo or illustrations. Good photos really help cement an idea in the audience’s mind. This slide is animated to display an appropriate image as you introduce each business type.
