Luaus bring teachers, students, and
resources together in an exciting learning
environment. Learning in isolation lacks
meaning and isn't much fun. Join others
for fun, authenticity, and synergy! This
workshop helps teacher teams create
interdisciplinary. technology-rich
thematic units. Turn a lonely luau into a
learning luau!

- Technology
means tools, resources, and opportunities,
but it also means teachers,
administrators, and students. Learning
luaus bring all these
together.
