=Innovations Mini-Teach Project Overview= ====Description: You will work with two or three partners (assigned by your instructor) to become an expert in one innovative technology. Your group will design a 15-minute teaching experience using the assigned technology. Your teaching session should include hands-on activities for your classmates. Most Innovative Mini-Teach experiences will take place during the first part of the semester. Your instructor will coordinate presentation dates. ====

====Rationale: Innovative teachers shift among the roles of teacher, learner, group member, contributor, and mentor, as needed in common pursuit of professional development and school improvement. This is especially relevant to the adoption of new technology tools. This assignment will be very dependent upon collaboration and promises to acquaint you with new and evolving technologies, and to help you better understand how technology can be integrated to improve student learning. The archived knowledge from all groups will be housed in a class wiki that will no doubt contribute to your growing collection of teaching materials. ====
