Raise You’re Hand if You’re a Rock Star (download the slides)
Steve Dembo
Over 15 million blogs? More than 3 million Twitter users? Over 150,000 podcasts in iTunes? It may seem like there’s so much information out there already that you have nothing to contribute. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. The opportunities to be an innovator and expert have never been greater than they are right now. Seemingly ordinary, average, every day teachers are standing up and becoming Rock Star… and you can too!10 AM edt
No Mind Left Behind: Using Media to Reach Your Students
Jannita Demian and Matt Monjan
Has the art of teaching been lost for the science of instructing? Are we engaging or enraging students’ minds? By applying Howard Gardner’s work, Five Minds for the Future, we’ll explore how to use media including video, sound, and web 2.0 to foster lifelong learners and ensure no mind is left behind.11 AM edt
Understanding Your Students’ iBrains
Brad Fountain
The increased use of technology by students at all age ranges is having a profound impact on our brain physically. Neural connections are being made that prior to now did now exist. What does this mean for teachers, students, and parents? Is it possible for digital immigrants to ever catch up?12 PM edt
Power Up Your Professional Learning Network
Jennifer Dorman
Wouldn’t it be just awesome if all teachers had a “Magic Eight Ball” that we could turn to every time we had a question about instructional practice, technology or learning theory? It would provide resources, anecdotal experiences, practical application, and much more. Through the connective and collaborative power of online technologies we have access to a vast and vibrant network of educators that are infinitely more qualified than a Magic Eight Ball to provide ongoing, timely support and encouragement. Learn to Power Up your professional learning network with customized and interactive Web 2.0 applications.1 PM edt
Moving Beyond the Information Age
Scott Kinney
We live in an age where information on nearly every topic is only a few keystrokes away. Content consumers across the globe, and students in our very own classrooms, interact with content fundamentally differently than five years ago. As a result, academic success can no longer be defined as the recitation of mere facts and figures. Instead, the degree to which our students access global expertise, engage with content, and create meaning becomes increasingly important.2 PM edt
It’s in Your Pocket: Teaching Spectacularly with Cellphones
Hall Davidson
The technology wave that follows the web? Mobile. Cellphones text faster than email, spread video faster than cameras, and webcast in real time. They show assignments, document work, translate voice to text, podcast and interface with Web 2.0. Best thing: you and your students carry them
already! Explore which features adapt to educational goals. Examples are out there. The wave is here. Let’s learn to ride!3 PM edt
