Making an eBook
Welcome to the world of “I created it, I publish it” where I introduce self-publishing as a part of creating and why creating plays an important role in the “balancing act”.
Teachers have tricks accumulated throughout the years. Let it be humanities, science, mathematics or any other subject; the self-publishing is FREE, teachers can create their own eBooks. This creating act is very rewarding for teachers and very helpful for students. Try it! Why not!

Visual Literacy Boot Camp
"When technology shifts, it bends the culture."
Visual communication is a fundamental part of the digital-age. Teachers need to create more effective pieces of visual communication from posters and charts to infographics and enable their students to do likewise.
Web designers and bloggers neglect developing these skills at their own peril.This session aims to raise awareness of basic design principles to this end.

Magic in Your Hands:
Using iPad in Lower School Language classes
As a teacher, we know that little kids love to play more than study. How can we make them enjoy learning as playing?
iPad is a magic tool that can help you manage your lesson and your classroom environment. You can create, inspire and innovate your lessons and truly make a difference. This session will further touch upon use of the SAMR model in your Lower School classroom.
Takeaway Projects are put in place to ensure optimal learning. Ideally, you should have something to take back to your school, ready to implement, come Monday.
Twenty minute Discovery Sessions in the morning allow you to learn someting new and enable you to make informed choices about which afternoon sessions best suit your unique environment.
Fifty minute DEEP Dives in the afternoon allow you to gain deeper insight and take your learning to a deeper level.

Deepen Your Digital Footprint
In a connectivist world, "...the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing."
Don't be afraid to promote yourself. The better connected you are, the more capable you are to support others. The corollary is that you are also connected to them and, thus, better able to access information that you and others in your circles need in a timely manner.
We will examine tools and strategies for increasing your web traffic and online presence. If you are not managing your digital footprint it is being managed for you. The best defense is a good offense. Become a better informed node in the expanding networks of your students. Learn, create, and share. All will benefit.

Social Media in Education
Social media has become an integral part of our lives since the outbreak of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and the myriad of others. As educators the question remains, "How do we leverage these globally connected programs to transform learning?" Embracing the concept of social media and integrating it into curricula has proven beneficial and increased student participation in learning. Together we can unlock the power of local and global networks for teaching and innovative learning experiences for our students.
