Essential+Question+and+Enduring+Understandings

**Enduring Understanding:**
Educational leaders realize that the integration of technology into instructional practice is essential in preparing students for the 21st century.

Essential Questions**:**

 * How do we use technology tools to impact student learning?
 * How can a small group effect change?
 * What is the role of a technology leader?
 * How do we become comfortable using 21st Century tools in our classroom?

Day 2 Activity: Reflect on our last session and take some time to review the Ed Tech Cadre's Enduring Understanding and Essential Questions.
 * //THINK//:**

How can our essential questions help to guide our work? What questions do you have about the enduring understanding and essential questions? What would you like to add, remove or edit? What next steps should we take to deepen the focus of our cadre?
 * //PAIR://**

Please share with the whole group your discussions as related to the questions above**.**

//**TEAM:**// Working with a group of 2-3 focus on the Essential Question assigned to your group. Use bubbl.us (a free mindmapping tool) to map out the meaning of your EQ - how it relates to your work as a member of the Ed Tech Cadre, how it will focus our work as a cadre and what next steps should be taken to help us integrate the work of the cadre into your schools.

//**GROUP SHARE:**// When you are finished brainstorming your ideas, share out what you discussed by exporting your creation as a .jpg (image) and upload your image to the Edmodo site. We will use your creations to help as we plan our next steps!
