Implementing iPad procedures, with student and parent involvement. Creating with a variety of apps. Time and classroom management. Tips and tricks!

I am a third grade teacher in a learning flexible classroom in Dallas, TX. I am a level 1 Google Educator, Google Guide for my district, and technology professional development teacher for my district. I am a Master's student at OU in the 21st Century Teaching & Learning program. I am an innovative and creative leader and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. 

Come and learn as we share creative projects and lessons we are using in our classrooms. See how we share these creative projects with families on the SeeSaw Learning Journal app. Participants will have the chance to explore many of the apps, use our #boxofcreativity, as well as take back a list of digital storytelling apps and creative apps to use in any early childhood classroom.

Come and see how SeeSaw can enhance your classroom. Seesaw is a multimedia journal that empowers students to showcase what they’re learning at school. Seesaw builds an organized, digital portfolio of each student’s learning, accessible by teacher, student and parent.This session will give a basic look at how SeeSaw works in the classroom. Activities used with SeeSaw will be presented to take back to implement in the early childhood classroom.

Just got an iPad cart? Now what? Come learn about iPad cart procedures for your building. Train staff at your school on how to use and take care of this resource. Learn about apps to use with your whole class and lesson plans. Seamlessly integrate this technology at your school!
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.

We will present on the uses and benefits of See Saw in a classroom including documentation of student work and parent communication, just to name a few!
