Linking+Metaprocesses+&+Emerging+Technology


 * // Technology PD: //**** Emerging Trends to Engage Learners **
 * //Stonington Public Schools have worked to create the "Metaprocesses" a road map to help integrate 21st Century skills into instruction and curriculum. The committee identified seven processes that students should continue to develop through their educational experiences://**
 * ======//** - Collaboration -Reasoning - Communication -Inquiry -Innovation -Organization - Metacognition**//======

**//Learners are thinkers of all ages who are building their Personal Learning Network. Who is in your PLN? Great teaching is often the result of great collaboration…within department, district, conferences, friends, students, spouses.//**
