Integrating Educational Technologies

Technology in Education

Thinking out of the Box

In order for you to make the best use of E2C materials, we have prepared a technology integration curriculum for you to follow. In each workshop, you will have some activities and/or readings to do to reflect on how you can best use all this technology in your classroom. 

This first part was designed for you to start thinking about how deep the changes are in the educational process, now that we have more and more technology coming into our classrooms. How does technology affect you? How does it affect your students? Is it worth the trouble? Do the activities below and find out!
