Technology for Student Ownership"Technology can be a captivating tool that pulls students into learning, but how do we get students to own their learning? Garth and I had our students drive our world history class and they became inspired learners that left digital footprints worth following. Come learn how we engaged students and made learning a journey, not just a destination. In this session we will discuss and see examples of:

3. Digital Publishing: How do we allow students to leave digital footprints worth following.
