Experts say the most effective Professional Development today is: technology-rich, delivered through a coaching model, and enhanced by the power of community and social learning. The Peer Coaching Program focuses on training teachers to help their colleagues integrate technology into the collaborative online classroom of the future. You will learn and utilize the communication and collaboration skills needed to build trust and effective collaboration. You will learn to strengthen lesson design skills to help colleagues improve learning activities through active, engaging instructional strategies. And, you will explore best practices in technology integration so you can assist teachers to use technology to enrich and enhance student learning. Join us to learn how to go beyond “helping” to develop your coaching skill set that will enable you to engage in discussions between coaches and colleagues, to understand their challenges and adapt to ongoing personal teaching styles and student needs. In the Peer Coaching program coaches learn, practice, and employ with colleagues three primary sets of skills: communication skills, lesson improvement skills, and technology integration skills. Peer Coaches offer colleagues job-embedded, content-focused, just-in-time, long-term professional development, focused on local needs.

Opening the Door to One to One with Intel Education’s 1:1 Transforming Learning CurriculumInstructor: Heidi Catlin --- ISTE NETS: 1, 2, 3, 5

Cutting Edge Technology Tools: The Essentials for K-12 EducatorsInstructors: David Kapuler and Jena Sherry --- ISTE NETS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5This session will showcase varied levels of cutting edge Web 2.0 and 21st Century Technologies including social networking and social bookmarking. We will share essential resources and tools to infuse immediately into your K-12 classroom instruction, such as Twitter, Diigo, Wikispaces, Tagxedo & Wordle, Animoto, Prezi, Voice Thread, Glogster, and Voki. To enhance this session, a key focus will also include developing and strengthening your PLN. This PLN component will assist educators to improve their digital literacy skill sets, and emphasize how to effectively network and collaborate with other grade level and content specific educators from around the world. Upon completion of our session, you will be equipped with several digital tools and have created digital projects that make you wonder, “How did I ever teach without these?”

This session is specifically designed for teachers who are about to implement teaching and learning in a one to one eLearning classroom. Three important topics are covered including instructional design in a 1:1 setting, curriculum mapping, and trouble-shooting and tech support.

Teachers will begin with an opportunity to evaluate their current practice and set goals for themselves. Participants begin thinking about their current curriculum and ways to integrate new digital tools in their one to one eLearning environment. Teachers will discover tools that can inspire their students to think more deeply, enable them to become more productive and creative and allow them to connect with the real world. Using Activity Checklists and Rubrics, participants will experience a “lesson” as a student rather than as a teacher. They will explore classroom management issues in a one-to-one eLearning environment and present findings to the larger group. As a group we will consider technical issues related to planning for and troubleshooting within a one to one eLearning environment. During our time together teachers will consider their curriculum through the framework of an Instructional Planning Packet and plan activities to use in their new one to one eLearning environment.

Each participant will receive the Intel 1:1 Transforming Curriculum 1:1 resource CD for their completion of the 3 day workshop training.

With the adoption of Common Core Standards, teachers will be encouraged to integrate technology like never before. This integration will help prepare our students to succeed in our global society. Hopefully, our students will learn to create, collaborate, communicate, use critical thinking skills, and become responsible digital citizens.

In this workshop, participants will explore the use of eBooks and eReaders in the classroom and/or library. We will also learn how to create eBooks to use on such devices.

In addition, participants will be introduced to a variety of sources for collaboration and the development of Personal Learning Networks such as Twitter, blogs, wikis and Skype. Collaboration and PLNs are excellent ways to continue to learn and grow once the workshop is over.

Finally, we will have a digital literacy component. In this module, teachers will be exposed to a wide variety of online digital literacy tools such as Storybirds, Animoto and Glogster. Attendees need bring a Nook to this training.

See how using iBooks Author can help educators and students create content that is specific to their classroom needs. Examples of iBooks from Educators world wide will be shared as well as opportunities to collaborate globally with some of these iBook producing schools.

Teachers can create an iBook of course materials that can easily be updated and distributed to students and is easily presented on their iPad.

Students can take their video, report, and presentation and create a lesson on any topic while using their digital content creation skills. The easy to use interface allows students to focus more on the content they are learning and creating and less on learning a program. (Intermediate to Advanced Users only) Attendees need bring an iPad 2 or 3 with iOS5 to this training.
