 * Session Description **

Think research is dry? Not so! Test your knowledge of the latest ed tech research regarding digital culture and student learning against an array of brain trust "celebrities" Hollywood Squares-style.


 * Theme and Strand:** Digital-Age Teaching & Learning: Literacies for the Information/Creativity Age
 * Keywords:** Information/media literacies, mobile learning, social media, digital culture, research
 * Primary Audience:** Teachers
 * Secondary Audience:** Library Media Specialists
 * Audience:** PreK12
 * Skill Level**: All

The ISTE audience is an action-centric community of engaged learners. The quest for new knowledge, is a driving incentive. But it is not necessarily a community that relishes examining scholarly research. The dynamic format of this panel presentation will engage participants in understanding research in new contexts. Following the Hollywood Squares game show model, panelists will deliver the content via a question and answer guessing game. Each information module will then be reinforced by a short video clip from an expert or a learner.

This Learning Tools Smackdown is part of a //franchise// (Joyce is not so sure about that!) that Dr. Joyce Valenza created with other teacher-librarians and technology educators from across the country. The Learning Tools Smackdown has been presented at the NECC09, AASL2009, MSET10, and ISTE10 conferences. Many generous educators have volunteered their work and resources to be passed on and shared to the next generation of learners! That's us! Please consider organizing a Smackdown in your county or state giving this same credit or provenance. In the words of **Shonda Brisco, "The more we share the greater we become!"**
