2016 TICL Conference

Billions of dollars are spent each year on educational technology, but we often don't know exactly what impact our investment has on student learning. How is technology spending affecting your students' learning? Do you need to advocate for more resources or for changes in instructional practice? Do you need actionable insights for tailoring professional learning to teachers' needs and enhancing technology integration? The BrightBytes Technology & Learning module, provided to Iowa districts free of charge through AEAs, paints a clear picture of your existing tools and programs and their actual impact on meaningful learning. Engage in a conversation about the skills students need to be successful in the 21st century and learn how CASE, a powerful, research-based framework that measures the impact of technology on learning will illuminate how and where technology is being used.
