Affective+Edu+and+Technology

= Using Technology With an Affective Unit =

The presenters will share an online affective unit that they have developed and discuss ways the unit can be used with various group sizes, one hour a week. This unit teaches students about overexcitablilities, perfectionism, advocacy, and other issues relevant to our gifted students, and integrates the use of technology as a learning tool. The unit is written with middle grades (4th – 8th) in mind, but can be adapted for lower elementary and high school.
