Account Manager
Information technology has permeated almost every aspect of daily life. The ability to capture, shape, analyze and communicate large amounts of information has re-shaped the way we do business and the way we interact with each other. However, it has not made a significant impact in the classroom. Silicon Chalk transforms the computer into an indispensable tool for the classroom. It provides the teacher with ways to encourage participation and enhance critical thinking skills. It improves student outcomes by helping the student capture and organize the information presented in class. It ensures that class time is effectively used by keeping students on task. This session will demonstrate Silicon Chalk in action and discuss the ways in which the software is being used to enhance teaching and learning in classrooms across North America.
