High+Tech+in+the+Low+Tech+Classroom

toc =21st Century Learning in the Low-Tech Classroom= Few computers or no computers in the classroom? No access to mobile devices? How do we create 21st-Century Learning Environments and Learning Experiences in classrooms or schools that are low- or no-tech? Explore ways to innovate and increase the use of 21st-Century Learning in the classroom when access to technology is limited and budgets are tight. A variety of strategies for deeper, more student-centered approaches to learning will be shared for multiple technology access scenarios, and will be scaffolded and aligned with the LOTI (Levels of Technology Integration) to enable attendees to assess their own current level of technology integration in order to make decisions about the most appropriate strategies to use in order to "level up". As a result of this session, participants will leave with a variety of ideas for increasing 21st Century Learning in their classrooms through the use of low-tech strategies and/or by strategically leveraging existing technology.
