Technology in Transit is a space for teacher candidates to showcase and raise awareness of different teaching and learning technologies that they have been actively using. The one-hour lunch period session offers people the capacity to drop in and engage with the learning technology as they walk by the Scarfe foyer during their lunch break.
This month’s topic is Kidblog, built by teachers, for teachers, so students can get the most out of the writing process. The goal is to empower teachers to embrace the benefits of the coming digital revolution in education. As students become creators – not just consumers – of information, we recognize the crucial role of teachers as discussion moderators and content curators in the classroom. With Kidblog, teachers monitor and control all activity within their classroom blogging community.
