Using Animation and Video to Engage and Enhance Student Learning KASL 2017 christa.hockensmith@boone.kyschools.us

Technology Integration Most educational technology experts agree that technology should be integrated, not as a separate subject or as a once-in-a-while project, but as a tool to promote and extend student learning on a daily basis. The challenge, of course, is in finding ways to use technology -- and to help students use it -- that don't take time away from core subjects. Collaboration and Communication with classroom teachers is key in making this happen.

Which is the focus...The End or the Means? Instructional time is precious. Technology tools must be user friendly so that CONTENT remains the FOCUS and TECHNOLOGY the TOOL to extend, create, and communicate the information.
