Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

In this session participants will engage in an open forum of conversation and discussion around the development and assessment of the K-8 ICT Literacy student portfolios with an emphasis on problem solving strategies to integrate both technology and media arts into the development of the student digital portfolio in meaningful and non-intrusive ways.
