Digital Writing Digital Kids
Feedback Survey
Common Core is more than a set of standards or new technology for taking online tests. It's an opportunity to engage students in powerful and meaningful learning through the use of digital tools. In this session we we'll examine the digital literacy demands of Common Core and discuss strategies for using these standards to incorporate blogging, digital composition, multimedia creation, and programming. Join us as we examine the "why" behind many of the digital tools entering our classrooms and walk way with a plan for using Common Core to engage our digital students in relevant learning.

No More Popsicle Sticks: The Case Against Random
Feedback Survey
Don't gather data from one student when you can gather it from EVERY student. The idea of tricking kids to listen in a 1:1 environment is no longer academically sound. So how do we find out what kids know? Learn to use two easy and free tools to gather data from every student, easily, regardless of platform. Have your teachers snapshot the entire class, instead of random drawings. Show your teachers how to grade less and give more feedback. Attendees will make quizzes and learn to analyze data in one of two free online tools that can revolutionize your school.
