Anytime, Anywhere Learning Project Kick-off Event

Thursday, December 10, 2009
9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Center for Professional Learning
1080 La Baron Drive, Miami Springs

M-DCPS will be launching a new cooperative project with Apple Computer to develop a road map to accomplish the District’s vision of reforming business practices to ensure efficiency. Emerging technologies are not only changing the way of work but also the way of learning.  By creating this 21st century teaching and learning environment in Miami-Dade’s classrooms, teachers can create new innovative methods to provide learning opportunities for students that replicate real-world thinking.

Participating schools will have the opportunity to preview District developed podcasts aimed at providing just-in-time professional development for teachers, learn about exciting opportunities for their teachers to develop class specific technology resources, and also learn ways for students to become podcast producers.
