In this 2-hour interactive workshop, educators will explore how technology can serve as a powerful enabler in the classroom, enhancing student engagement and promoting personalized learning. Participants will learn practical ways to integrate cutting-edge tools such as AI, gamification, etc. to foster a dynamic and inclusive learning environment. Through hands-on activities, participants will experiment with tools like ChatGPT and Kahoot! to see firsthand how technology can amplify student voice and increase engagement. The session will emphasize the importance of the "unfinished"mindset—encouraging educators to continually develop their technological skills and adapt to the ever-evolving educational landscape. By reflecting on professional growth, attendees will leave with actionable strategies for integrating technology, while also promoting student agency and equity in the classroom. Whether you're a tech novice or a seasoned pro, this workshop will provide fresh insights and inspiration to help you become the next version of yourself as an educator.
