Description
Who leveled it up best? In this fast-paced, interactive showdown, participants will explore multiple ways to elevate familiar classroom activities and learning experiences. Using the SAMR framework as a guide, attendees will compare instructional approaches, discuss the impact on student learning, and determine when technology adds meaningful value—and when effective pedagogy may be enough. Participants will evaluate each approach, debate the impact on student learning, and vote for the winner of each round. Along the way, we'll explore what it truly means to transform learning, challenge common assumptions about technology integration, and uncover practical strategies that can be immediately applied in classrooms, schools, and districts.
