Research shows that the "digital natives" that we teach in the classroom need to be taught differently than students 5-10 years ago. This is especially true for our gifted populations. By incorporating technology in an effective manner, students become more engaged, and they can harvest and retain more information than they would in the standard classroom. Participants will leave this session with a wealth of ideas and free/inexpensive resources that help challenge and motivate students, create globally competitive learning environments, and improve classrooms and learning through grant opportunities, while providing the research to show how effective infusing technology really is.
