The Manhattan Office of Educational Technology held an innovation celebration to showcase the work of students who partnered with teachers for learning with technology.  At the event student presenters demonstrated for visiting adults and peers ways in which they were using technology to innovate learning.

Some students shared how they are empowered to analyze their own data to drive their learning, others shared how they use student response systems to grow their abilities in mental math, some showed how they used iPads to better understand and discuss stories they were reading, and another class showed how they came together to publish their own book about their learning using iBooks.  The event also featured a panel where students explained to teachers and peers the importance of being empowered to use the technology tools they love for learning.
