Introduction to the iGeneration
In this part of the presentation, participants will explore the foundational thoughts for our workshop. Specifically, we'll examine how effective 21st Century teachers build a bridge between what our students know about new tools and what we know about good teaching. We’ll be looking at the kinds of enduring skills that people need to master in order to be successful.
