Tech PD Coming Up

Image
Hi everyone! I've spent these past few days searching for off-campus professional development opportunities for teachers at my school that might be interested in going to.   What am I looking for?  Events that focus on Technology Integration, Technology and Education, Innovation, 21st Century Learning, etc. Events that are at a reasonable distance from our current location. I've personally attended ISTE , TCEA, and GAFE conferences and can say that these kinds of experiences are one of a kind! Why should you go? Stay updated on the latest in tech integration and innovation. Learn from fellow educators. Develop your professional network. Get inspired to produce a change.

With only a month to get ready, we were faced with an enormous challenge. A great deal of planning and organization took place.

ALL of them jumped right on and registered as presenters. Even a few other teachers participated too.  Results: Presenters - 32 Attendees - 225 Sessions - 32 Learning talks - 6 For all the details, visit the Live C...

DT Logo Challenge

Image
The Elementary digital teachers (DTs) were presented with a challenge during one of our meeting times. They had to work on designing a logo and a “we believe” statement that would represent our DT program. At this time, the activity was led by Gaby, one of the DTs. Day 1: Gaby used her experience with logo design to introduce what a logo is and how the color selection is key as it may evoke different feelings. Teachers were partnered up and followed these guidelines: Create a logo and “We believe…” statement that represents the DT Team. Use/combine creation tools such as Google Drawing or Logo Garden for the logo. Consider the emotions generated by colors in logos . Take a screenshot of your logo and insert it onto a slide in a shared Google presentation (see below). Day 2: Once all the groups had submitted their logo and statement, the next steps were to share, persuade, and vote. Talk with your Logo team partner. Choose a spokesperson. Present your log...
