What do you want to teach?

• NOT Technology

How do you teach?

• Technology tools can support a variety of different teaching methods
• Technology itself is not a method

How do your students best learn?

• Think how technology can support your students’ learning styles
• Think about how you first learned a new skill

Think about ways this machine can  enhance your instruction.  How can  new interest be generated with the  use of the computer?
