Learning Unleashed
(Sunday, January 25 - Friday, January 30, 2009)

Location:http://knowschools.ca
Facilitator: Sandy Hirtz, Canada

Technology offer teachers the opportunity to more easily capture the interest of their digital students, to enhance collaboration, to individualize the learning experience, to increase active learning, to foster independent learning, and to facilitate deeper thinking and meaningful learning. Fortunately, as technologies become more user-friendly and more readily available, it is not an overwhelming task for any educator to become a digital teacher and unleash learning by extending the boundaries of the classroom.

Participate in this KnowWeek to explore online author visits, story time, book clubs, reading games, blogs, writing challenges, ePals, collaborative projects and much more.
