SDCUE Powered Learning Fair 2019

Do you want to learn how you can bring your lessons to life using Google's Geo tools? In this session, we will explore Google My Maps and Google Tour Builder and the various ways you can use them in to create or enhance interactive and engaging lessons.

In this session, you will learn how to create choice boards and digital portfolios to support differentiation and increase engagement in your classroom using GSuite and other web tools. Join me to learn how to empower your students to use their voice to share their learning beyond the classroom walls.

The question formulation technique is an amazing way for students K-12 to explore the wonders of NGSS science. Ignite science units by using this simple yet revolutionary strategy!

How do you use the devices in your classroom?  This is a question that is becoming more and more common.  The answer is simple.  I use devices to create a two way street of learning.  I control the lesson on my students device. This allows us to interact with assessment tools that I push out.  I use that data to guide my lessons.  Because of this approach, I can bring my students anywhere in the world with VR lessons.  I can gamify assessments.  I can use media, social media, and student creativity to enrich the learning environment.  Best of all, I can do all of this while never leaving my Teaching and Learning platform.  

*Attendees who attend this session will be entered to win a Year long Platinum Nearpod Licence.
