=Redesigning Research= ==﻿**Session 1: Intro to 21st Century Research** == This session will start with a **discussion** to identify the ways research has changed in the 21st century, including an **overview of tools** that are available for use. Participants will examine the **New Digital Divide** and take a look at the **NETS** as they begin to redefine research as something students and teachers should regularly engage in to guide inquiry and **construct knowledge**, not just when it’s time to create a formal paper or project. Samples of new tools will be explored and discussed. Using a **tech toolkit template**, teachers will begin to identify curriculum connections to focus on for the remainder of this course. All work will be published in a wiki and available for all to use and modify.
