Feedback Survey
Attendees will explore innovative ways to effectively enhance informational literacy instruction using technology in an intermediate to higher education classroom--regardless of content. Specifically, they will analyze online publishing trends and tools to engage students in meaningful and authentic literacy practices.

o Know how to effectively incorporate technology into their lessons to better
engage students; use technology not as a substitute, but as an
enhancement.
o Walk out with exposure to both new technology tools or with tools that they
are familiar with, such as Adobe Spark, and learn how to use them in a way
they haven't previously considered for literacy instruction.
o Enhance PLN by collaborating with other educators through technology.
