Seminar II - Solutions That Work

By Ed Coughlin and Cheryl Lemke

A common misconception often heard among educators discussing learning technologies is: "We just don't have enough research to know what works." They couldn't be more wrong! Metiri Group has compiled a list of over one hundred applications of learning technology that are solidly grounded in research and best practice. These "Solutions that Work" not only allow educators to advance academic skills in new and more effective ways, they also open the door to benefits for students that would not have been dreamed of a decade ago.

Participants will leave this customizable seminar with:

• Insights into why the current approach to learning technology integration fails to make a measurable difference in student learning
• Research on which uses of learning technology are making a difference
• The best sources for learning technology solutions solidly grounded in research and best practices
• A process your school or district can use to ensure that teachers have ready access to the latest research
• A rich library of solutions and approaches that will help you secure and apply funding from the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act
