In addition, you will gain access to lesson examples, rubrics, templates and other useful resources for implementing a project-based classroom.

Surface Learning vs. Deep Learning: How Technology Can Help Students Think Deeper

Is surface learning or deep learning more important? Join educator Kelly Bielefeld in a discussion about the importance of both surface and deep learning. Too often, teachers stop at basic knowledge and students aren’t challenged to dig deeper into the content. Other times, teachers move too quickly past the surface level knowledge and students fail to transfer learning and apply it in a critical way. In this webinar, learn how various uses of technology can assist teachers in ensuring surface knowledge and transfer of learning are both attained, so students can move to higher levels of critical thinking about the content.
