= Technology Rich Learning Environments = Our students live in a technological world that will continue to grow and change exponentially during their lifetime. In order for our students to function successfully in this technologically complex global world, it is our professional responsibility to ensure that students learn in technology rich environments where teachers have the competence and confidence to use instructional technology in appropriate and meaningful ways to enhance student performance. Increasing technology literacy skills of teachers as well as students must be a priority at all levels and in all subject areas. The appropriate use of instructional technology is an expectation, not a choice. || **Learning Objectives:** Who are our 21st Century Learners? || CCPS Technology Plan || demonstration, sharing, brainstorming || Beyond the basics demonstration, brainstorming || Examples, tutorial, brainstorming || Interactive sites Online databases ||
