T and T Jan 5/6 2010

Welcome to Teacher and Tech Winter 2010

And so the trek begins.

We will be exploring the theme of the 'digital native' as we learn about technology in the classroom and how to use it well. We'll look at theory and we'll do some practical stuff - for you, for your students and for your 'community'.

You all have different levels of tech experience and knowledge of how to make good educational use of it, so this course is about pushing yourself forward from where you are now.

Work hard, push yourself and you will enjoy.
