Unlock the magic of technology in your PreK-2nd grade classroom! To ensure technology is appropriate and young students have positive experiences, it is important to understand best practices and principles. In this course, you will articulate your beliefs about this age group's use of technology in the classroom, “tinker” with a variety of tech tools, and explore the many aspects of digital citizenship and internet safety. Learn about the SAMR (Substitute, Augment, Modify, Redefine) model, then select your pathway for adding apps and tools for teaching and learning into your professional practice. Impact impressionable learners by creating activities that demonstrate how equity, accessibility, and social-emotional learning are influenced by technology, and celebrate the joy and discovery tech brings!
