== Please send your final reflection via email to me at kellie@allthingsliteracy.com by Tuesday, July 22.

Course Description: This course is designed to assist teachers in using effective instructional practices with technology tools. Participants will explore research-based active learning strategies that encourage higher order thinking skills, metacognition, and collaborative learning. There will be a focus on using reading strategies for content area instruction. Participants will use these activities and strategies to gather data about student learning, using results to further plan for learning in a standards-based classroom. Opportunities for differentiation will be modeled and discussed.
