BYOT FOR AT RISK STUDENTS
Brief Program Description
This presentation is designed for teachers that would like to practice BYOT but have concerns about using technology in their classrooms. These same teachers may be working with at-risk students. Understandably the teachers are concerned that the students will be texting and looking at various websites. Lets not fight technology- embrace it! How? By providing activities that correlate with the Common Core Standards and provide rigour and relevancy with the assistance of 21st century technology. By including technology I think teachers wil find that the relationships between themselves and the students will also improve. The trust factor comes into play, even though the teacher is monitoring the activities. Students are not isolated from our global society but a part of it, and they grow to respect the teacher
