This document outlines an agenda for a session on using web-based tools to enhance student learning. The session will introduce ISTE standards, demonstrate how tools like Flickr, YouTube, and blogs can be used to promote thinking, technology use, and teamwork ("Teaching to the T's"). Attendees will share experiences using technology and discuss next steps. The goal is to illustrate how digital tools can support inquiry, collaboration, and real-world learning experiences for students.
