Accidentally Creating a Digital Writing Workshop | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Technology was now a part of our learning -- technology to research, explore, create and share. It was natural for the children to use chart paper, markers, their voices, iPads and computers. There was never a choice to use technology or not use technology, but rather to think about what tool would support their objective.
  • I saw the benefits of how technology could engage my learners, encourage collaboration, and provide meaningful project ideas to spark curiosity and exploration.
  • Some chose paper, some chose an iPad. I learned that introducing the students to a variety of tools allowed each child to have more creative choice.
