3. The Why: We can’t use Technology for the sake of using technology. Literacy should always be at the heart of education. Technology is HERE! Technology is second nature to our students! Technology IS a HUGE resource! You don’t have to give up the routines and practices that already work. Use technology to makes these routines and practices more efficient in your classrooms.

4. The How - Find tools that work in your classroom, that enhance and build on what you already knows works for you.
