<p>WELSTech is back with so much to discuss regarding SAMR in Secondary Ed, so much brain-power from our newly awarded doctor guest host, so many picks of the week (including a bonus pick that is so tasty), so many e-newsletters on church marketing, so much trade-in value on MacBook Air computers, and so much more that you won’t want to miss! So, turn it up!</p>
<p></p> The discussion
<p>Secondary SAMR – The edtech discussion resumes as WELSTech welcomes back <em><strong>Doctor</strong> </em>Rachel Renno, Director of Academic Computing for <a href="https://mlc-wels.edu" rel="nofollow">Martin Luther College</a>, and Jason Schmidt, Director of Technology for <a href="https://www.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/" rel="nofollow">Oshkosh (WI) Area School District</a>. Today’s topic, secondary tech integration, relates to our season-long look at the <a href="https://www.edutopia.org/article/powerful-model-understanding-good-tech-integration" rel="nofollow">SAMR framework for education technology integration</a>, as we consider how best to engage and differentiate secondary education to prepare students at this level for the project-based demands of the working world.</p>
<p>Spoiler alert: the “C” word (change) is part of the solution.</p> Ministry resource
