" Technology in the Early Childhood Classroom" presented by Suzanne Stewart, St. Lawrence Preschool/ Notre Dame Academy (Louisville)

No, your students aren't too young to use technology. Come learn how to integrate Kidblog, Animoto, Tellagami, Twitter, Facebook, and QR Codes with your students. Showcase all your students are learning.

***This was a really cool seminar!*** You can learn from it, too with this QR code!

Use this QR code to link to the presentation.  Once you link to the presentation, there are many QR codes within that will link you to some really good resources and show you how you can use QR codes and an iPad or other tablet to guide student learning in the classroom for students on different levels.  See how they use QR codes to engage and involve parents and administrators/support staff.
