Tech Tools for Student Knowledge Construction
Sunday, December 4, 2022 ⬥ 4:45 – 5:45 PM
Presented by Karen Streeter and Ruth Okoye
Session Description:
Students construct knowledge every day. But how can we scaffold and help them reflect on the process? This session will discuss the principles that make instruction conducive to knowledge construction. Then we’ll share tech tools that facilitate the process, and finally, we’ll share ways to introduce metacognitive strategies.
