=Welcome US Grant High School & November Learning Associates= Julia Leong, Joe Brennan, Howie DeBlaisi, David Jakes == What technologies are educators talking about? Instructors and students use an array of technologies throughout their daily lives; consequently, these tools are expanding literacy. How can we make use of these tools for educational purposes, such as reflection, collaboration, and critical thinking? It’s not the gadgets, tools and wires that will change the  culture of learning. It’s how you create a vision that withstands the rush of  new tools,    and    how you use them for collaboration,   communication and information that will radically change the teaching and   learning process. Come with a vision or learning goal to explore. e.g. creative writing We will explore ways you can use technology to support that learning goal. You will explore learning goals with November Learning Associates in 4 break out sessions (2 hr sessions), then bring it all together on the last day. **You will share your learning to your colleagues on the last day by creating/applying/explaining how you are going to use it in Sept.** ==
 * The purpose of these sessions are to:**
 * Describe an instructional or learning goal that can be supported by educational technology;
 * Provide a short demo of educational uses (instructional or learning) of the technology;
 * Inform attendees on how they can use the technology in their teaching, including issues and considerations;
 * Engage attendees in considering use in their teaching, possibilities, concerns, etc.
