Professional development is ever changing and on-going. A common misconception about the eMINTS program is that students "play" on computers all day. This couldn't be further from the truth. The eMINTS program focuses on the model at the left. We focus on designing high-quality lessons that are inquiry-based and have real-world implications. We build a sense of community within our classrooms and our schools to foster a "we are in this together" feeling that encourages collaboration and teamwork. And lastly, we utilize technology to give students a way to interact with the world and to provide another outlet to showcase their learning.
