Innovation Institute 2019

This session is about creativity, visual learning and effective photo communication. We will blast off with the power and flexibility of Google Photos and learn how to backup, organize, search, create and collaborate on all types of devices. Come prepared to add to our album, make collages and movies!

Teachers will participate in a variety of class discussions to demonstrate how teachers can use multiple tech platforms and apps (both free and paid) which will allow teachers to gather data and evidence of student participation, hold students accountable, and show student knowledge of content. These tools can be applied to any skill level that teachers feel is appropriate for group discussion. Some tools are best used in-class while others can be used both in and out of the classroom.

Does your algebraic classroom lack innovative, technology-based activities that enhance student learning? Through active engagement, participants of this session will explore rich connections of algebraic functions using transformations on graphing calculators and online graphing tools, by participating in lesson experiences that provide innovative thinking and ideas. These two lessons are directed at junior high and high school math students. Bring your graphing calculator if you can, a laptop/chromebook/iPad, and your creativity!

This session is about looking at formative/summative assessments that are digital and feed into the way a student learns today. First, we will look at how a student's brain works and what makes a good assessment. We will also look at many new and upcoming assessments that teachers will be able to use in their classrooms the next day. Finally, we will participate in a formative assessment that is my favorite to use. My goal is to help other teachers get familiar with using digital assessments.
