21 Century Technology Teams is a conference/course for teams of educators to explore how to use information technology to help students master 21st century skills.  Participants will work in collaborative teams as they use Understanding by Design techniques to develop units or projects to use with their students.   The teams will choose two strands to focus on (see side bar).  Each team will “earn” information technology equipment that will be donated to their school for their use.
