2. Hands On, Minds On: Using Technology to Increase Student Engagement
Erica R. Hamilton
Michigan State University

3. “Magic” Squares & Rectangles
There is no magic fairy dust in a computer, tablet, projector, clicker, Smartphone, or Smart board that “magically” helps a teacher teach or a student learn in face to face, blended, or online classes.

4. Educators’ Responsibilities
Educators are responsible to design (i.e. give purpose), plan, and implement lessons using technology. However, if teachers do not know or understand ways of thoughtfully purposing technology, then technology remains under or unused.

5. SCOT Theory (social construction of technology)
Technology’s purpose comes from people and the way they use technology, rather than the technology itself
It is people who give meanings and purposes to tools and technology

6. TPACK (Koehler and Mishra, 2008)
A theory that provides a framework for re-purposing technology
Identifies particular funds of knowledge teachers use to design and integrate lessons with technology
Technological Knowledge
Pedagogical Knowledge
Content Knowledge

7. UDL: Universal Design for Learning
Set of principles for curriculum development that gives all individuals equal opportunities to learn
Provides a blueprint for creating flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that accommodate learner differences
