December 18 – Maryland Society for Educational Technology is pleased to announce a new partnership with Teachers First to promote its book study on Teach Boldly: Using Edtech for Social Good by Jennifer Williams.

The book study will focus on technology implementation strategies, including:

• Exploring pedagogical approaches made possible through the use of technology.
• Identifying, exploring, evaluating, and curating digital resources and tools.

• Designing authentic learning activities that facilitate active, deep learning.
• Learning about alternative ways for students to demonstrate competency.

“MSET is excited to share this opportunity for professional development and networking to our membership. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow together as professionals” said Brandie Shatto, President-Elect of MSET.

MSET members who wish to participate should apply on the teachers first website (https://teachersfirst.org/bookstudy/) by January 2, 2023. Each week, participants will be assigned a reading passage, knowledge construction/application activity, and a topic for discussion. At the conclusion of the study, those who actively participated, followed the rubric, and attended required sessions will receive a certificate of completion and reimbursement for the price of the eBook. Participants may also be eligible for Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
