How emotionally connected are students to the content in today’s classrooms? Are students totally engaged in the learning or are merely involved? How can classroom teachers use their existing digital tools and resources effectively to promote greater student collaboration, engagement, and achievement levels?

The Lesson Planning with H.E.A.T. workshop emphasizes integrating digital age tools and strategies for improved student H.E.A.T.
