Creating a Safe Haven for All Students

Through technology, teachers now have the opportunity to empower all students to show their thinking in unique ways and participate in learning that make sense for them. But simply putting technology in the hands of students and giving them a project-based assignment isn’t enough to truly open up broader learning spaces for students. We have to also create the rapport and community within our classrooms to ensure that students feel safe working through struggles. By beginning our work with technology with a “Safe Haven” focus, we are more likely to truly engage students in transformational learning with technology.

Digital Media Literacy: Ten Minutes At a Time

Digital media literacy can best be used in small, portable, repeatable units that can be dropped in as a way to critically analyze any media experience, from talking to texting to television.

A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Editing Go Down...

The writing process can be daunting for most students today who want to write something that meets the requirements of the assignment and turn it in. They barely stop to make sure their name is on the assignment, let alone read what they have written. Students see editing and revising as tasks that take up too much time for very little pay off. After all, if they didn’t notice anything wrong in the first draft, what will they gain by reading it again? Technology can be used to help make the writing process easy and productive. Self-editing and peer editing become helpful and engaging. Students are able to produce better products with fewer errors and really take a good luck at what they are producing. The writing process becomes less of a drudgery and more of an engaging process that can actually be helpful. Technology can also give educators opportunities to give meaningful feedback and support along the way. Students can easily save feedback and drafts for review before other writing projects. These Apps, Chrome extensions, and tools are great for every subject and administration. This workshop is great for anyone who wants or needs to write anything well.

Let Them Teach

Let Them Teach is a movement that allows the students to do the teaching. It was an idea that originally stemmed from one student fussing at me that she "just doesn’t learn like this". That was four years ago. The idea grew. It developed beyond that one student and her one subject. Today this process includes second through 12th grade levels and all subjects. Charged with learning in their own multiple intelligences, the students have now created books, art, lessons and videos. They teach the academic standards not only to themselves, but to each other. This year they are taking it further and extending their reach to children in hospitals, and other schools across the nation.

Sketchnoting is a visual style of notetaking where doodling can be used to increase retention, engagement, and visual literacy. If you want to try it, then this risk-free, hands-on 90 minute workshop will prove you don't need to be an artist to sketchnote. We will use the free iPad app Paper by 53. Participants will learn how to use the basic tools and explore the more advanced options such as sharing and remixing. Participants will begin with essential sketchnote elements including color, text formatting, layout, and easy icons. We will sketchnote a story, nonfiction article, and video. This session will be all about practice, practice, practice and then sharing with each other.

Stop Digital Discrimination: the iPad, Assistive Technology and Accessibility

The iPad is amazing. Out of the box it has some of the most powerful assistive technology available. Built-in accessibility features help students with a wide range of disabilities to independently and successfully navigate around the web and through digital educational material.
The App Store offers apps that go further than what is built into the device. There are apps that help with communication, reading comprehension and even apps that turn printed text into audio.
With this technology in such close reach now, the potential to deploy amazing assistive technology solutions is only getting higher. And that means that we have more opportunities than ever to more fully include students with disabilities into the classroom and student life in general.
But the best assistive technology out there may not be worth a penny if the digital content it interacts with is not accessible.
The second part of this session will put a focus on accessible digital material. You will learn about some of the more common digital barriers to people with disabilities. And more importantly, you will learn how you can help to remove or avoid those barriers altogether.

Student Creators: Cultivating Success & Amplifying Voices with Mobile Blogging

Mobile blogging can be used inside the classroom to increase student engagement. This workshop seeks to both raise awareness of the variety of applications of blogging in the classroom and provide hands-on guidance demonstrating the ease of blogging from a smartphone or tablet. Working in small groups and using personal mobile devices, participants will experience how blogging can be seen as an equalizing technology in a classroom by allowing all students a voice. Both traditional writing and student engagement are transformed with the utilization of cameras, touch screens, and the streamlined app workflows of mobile devices. As we demonstrate the practicality of mobile blogging, participants will also discuss how blogging can be used to increase understanding to yield student success. Between applications in the classroom, research, and academia more broadly, this professional development workshop aims to provide a comprehensive look at what it means to blog in the context of cultivating student success.

Successfully Scale Personalized Learning with iPads What educators should know about iPad management

Providing a unique and impactful learning experience for students is the goal of most, if not all, educators. With iPad and the right mobile device management (MDM) solution, delivering on the promise of a personalized learning experience is now achievable. In our session we show you how streamlined Apple device management helps transform iPad into the ultimate learning tool for each and every student.

When both IT and instructional staff work together a customized and agile experience can be created for each student based upon shared stakeholder input. iPad management capabilities have advanced that allow educators to determine the appropriate level of management policies tied to digital citizenship programs, student readiness, and in-class circumstances. Knowledge is power, and by knowing what is possible with MDM, educators may unlock the potential learning capacity for students using iPad.

You’ll learn:
• How apps and content can be assigned remotely to student devices for an individual experience
• How to provide varying degrees of device access to students rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
• How to use classroom management options to promote student engagement, facilitate assessments, and reduce lost instructional time
• How to give students more “ownership” over their device by giving them choice and privileges

Purpose: As a Technology Teacher, I was given an iPad Cart for my elementary school with no Professional Development. I researched online, talked with other educators and learned from trial/error about what to do when you get an iPad Cart at the elementary school level. Participants will leave this session with new confidence about using an iPad Cart on their campus. I will share best practices for teachers/students, apps to use with a whole group, how to add apps to the iPads, and how to purchase an app. We don't want the iPad Cart to collect dust because teachers don't know what to do or they fear that students won't take care of this pricey resource. Participants will be given the first steps and the resources to start the school year ready for teachers/students to use the cart.

The Eye in the Sky Never Lies (swivl style)

Nothing is more embarrassing than learning that your teaching style is tunning out students, you keep repeating words, or looking down when speaking. But if you ask for feedback people will likely say, "it was all right." However, is it really? How do you know your teaching style is not terrible? As my high school football coach once said, "the eye in the sky never lies" and would point to the camera filming the game. The eye, in this case, is the swivl camera. I used the swivl camera using an Ipad to track my teaching style during a financial literacy seminar course and professional development course and learned what to do and what not to do. Using the Ipad to record along with the editing was an easy method than having to use complicated editing software.

The presentation will go over what swivl can bring to teaching, how it can be used to promote your teaching style, and the do's and dont's when using swivl.

Google Apps on the iPad

Almost everyone knows the advantages of using the Google suite of office style applications. They are accessible from any machine, anywhere and they save automatically. No more having to remember which computer you were using or remembering to bring files home on a thumb drive. No more losing an hour of work because you accidentally closed a file or the power went off. And, your students can easily share files with others or work collaboratively on projects.
Despite all these advantages, there is one issue when using an an iPad with Google applications. They just don’t look quite the same as they do on a computer or they behave just a little differently. Join us and become more comfortable with Docs, Slides, Forms, and Sheets on your iPad.

Education Gaming

Do you like to play games in your spare time? Many students today love to play virtual games on their parents phones, their own tablets, or their computer whenever they have a free second or two. As schools it is our job to inspire students to learn through the use of games. All too often teachers use devices to fill free time, but unfortunately students are able to play whatever they want. Why not use this time to reinforce academic skills through games or introduce students to new and exciting games that have real-world application? Join us to learn more about games that students can use in the classroom to reinforce curriculum.

Savory Slides

No more death by PowerPoint, Keynote, or Prezi… How can we teach students to be both effective communicators and digital architects of their own content? This session will blend best practices and research-based strategies and tips for organizing content, designing and constructing slides (including theme, template, and layout), effectively and purposefully using images, color, and data, and delivering memorable presentations. Students weren’t born with a PPT clicker in their fist… BUT what your students don’t know can be taught. This fast-paced session will culminate with a toolkit of support resources for educators including an infographic, curated research and examples, student handouts, intentional revision student surveys, and a list of tools that can support your students with both design and appropriate use of creative commons images. Sprinkle in a few student examples with this fully catered platter of tools and resources and you will find that Savory Slides feeds your hunger for both compelling content and inspiration for appropriate student authorship.
