DescriptionIn this session we explore the notion of the peripheral learner or the learner who is assisted by devices. We delve into the idea of the brain extending its reach through devices as well as strategies for leveraging these new realities to help kids learn. We’ll explore some 21st century tools and look at some examples of teacher and student success using them. Hooking Learners with Digital Tools involves using free tools as well as stories about schools and classrooms that have used them to engage learners and learning. I inspire educators to use exciting tools to reach even the reluctant learner. Teaching "wired" learners explores some of the tools educators could/should use to engage kids who’ve grown up online and texting. We deal with issues around digital responsibility, mentoring and preparing kids for success in virtual space.
