Leveraging the digital: Transforming learning at Rochester Community Schools
Technology on its own can be a tool, but when paired with strong instructional practices, it can transform learning.
“Leveraging the Digital: Stories of Learning at Rochester Community Schools" was created to showcase how educators across the district are integrating instructional technology into their daily practice to create student-centered learning opportunities.
From podcasts, to coding, to the Genius Hour, RCS students are embracing the power of digital technology.
The publication is interactive. Simply click on a link in the booklet to dive further into the learning story. If you printed the publication, scan the QR code with your phone to enhance the experience.
