4F. Technology Enhanced Learning: Incorporating Technology with the Common Core

Description: Participants of this session will explore a technology infused learning experience from the role of the learner. Then, they will identify and unpack the elements of the unit using the backwards design process. Participants will leave with an exemplar of how technology can be integrated, both as a tool and as a topic, into the backwards design process using the CCSS. Participants in this session will need to bring a tablet or a computer with a web connection to this session.
