PDK members, students, and the interested public are welcomed to attend the February meeting of PDK, Chico, and listen to our keynote speaker who will address issues of teaching and learning in a digital world. We will meet at 5:30 pm, have dinner followed by a short business meeting, and then Steve will begin his presentation at 6:45 pm. We will conclude our meeting at about 8 pm.

Steve Klein is the Professional Development Coordinator from Butte County Office of Education, Center for Distributed Learning. His presentation is "Digital Students and Analog Teachers: Supporting Students In A New Landscape of Learning."

How can teachers make technology work to improve learning?

The first part is recognizing students as "natives"Âin a digital world and the possibilities available to support their learning. The second part is seeing how technology fits into the current framework of the instructional process and your school's improvement plan. Steve will share findings from current research, discuss with us how school activities can be supported with the technology currently in students' lives, and share new ideas on how technology can move education forward.

Please join your local Phi Delta Kappa chapter at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday February 28th
