This document discusses using technology in education. It begins with an agenda that includes a Kahoot technology survey, a video about empowering students, and discussions about inquiry-based learning, student voice, and BYOD (bring your own device) policies. It then contrasts traditional teacher-centered classrooms with student-centered 21st century approaches. Examples of online tools and apps are provided for different subject areas like math, language, science, social studies, and arts. The document emphasizes the importance of parental involvement through accessible digital communication and documentation of student learning.
