Submitted by jdownes on Sat, 05/29/2010 - 13:54.

As a new strand offered at the Middle Grades Institute, this course guides educators in enhancing learning opportunities for middle level students through the use of readily available technology. Participants examine research and use technology in a collaborative and supported environment. They learn to identify opportunities for effective technology use, manage technology rich learning, and embed technology in responsive middle grades practice. Participants create and implement  technology-enhanced solutions to support team teaching, an inclusive classroom culture, engaging instructional methods, and integrated learning.

The Institute will be held at Castleton State College in Castleton, VT, beginning at 3pm on Sunday, June 27, and concluding 5pm on Thursday, July 1, 2010. This is a residential institute, and participants are expected to stay on campus for the four nights as class sessions are held into the evening hours. A final required workshop and conference will be held on November 12, 2010, at the UVM Davis Center in Burlington.
