PD

= Digital Learning Collaborative: Professional Development =

The Digital Learning Collaborative's professional development efforts combine face-to-face institutes (F2F) and online course work (OPD). During these activities, participants are immersed in the educational use of technology to support student learning and instructional practice. As a result, participants glean a better understanding of the core elements necessary for launching and sustaining successful technology enabled learning environments. The technological pedagogical content knowledge ( TPACK) framework, an emerging professional knowledge lens, is integrated into ALL content and activities during both synchronous and asynchronous events. This approach supports administrators, teachers, and staff in effectively evaluating and appropriately selecting technology to explicitly support and enhance student learning.
