Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

In this session participants will ...understand the connection between student motivation and the research process. In this interactive session, we will discuss the important role research plays in authentic, personalized learning. Strategies on how to design and assess meaningful assignments and how to manage multiple topics, different paces, and different learning styles will be covered, as well as ideas for new ways to present and publish student research. We will examine the benefit of small, routine projects that make the process a habit, and identify the challenges we face when we begin new research projects in our classrooms. Participants will leave with tools and ideas for increasing student engagement and autonomy that can be implemented in the classroom or library the very next day.
