Being able to present at the Live Learning with Livescribe session specifically on “Livescribe Smartpens for Early Readers and English Languages Learners,” along with my colleagues Candice Lee and John Dang, reassured my passion for instructional leadership and being able to inspire and encourage educators and administrators to explore the benefits of incorporating Smartpen technology into their classrooms. Collaboration as presenters allowed our session to provide examples of activities that targeted primary, junior and intermediate divisions. Check out my learning object for this session.
I eagerly attended the Gamification of Learning, and Google in Classroom sessions led by fellow colleagues, and was very impressed with their knowledge and leadership in these areas. These sessions greatly expanded my understanding of social media tools and using video games in the classroom. Additionally, the exhibitor showcase provided me with valuable information on new technologies, and opportunities for collaboration in the Edtech community.
Overall, I took away practical and ready to use Edtech tools and ideas for the classroom and expanded my PLN by meeting some passionate newbies and leaders in the field.See you there next year!
What a great opportunity for Brock Tech students to showcase what they know and a chance to learn even more.
ReplyDeleteI had really wanted to go, but unfortunately was unable to! I look forward to being able to attend next year.
Good for you for taking a leadership role in presenting a workshop. The livescribe pen is the "rockstar" of all AT tools! Students and teachers in Halton are amazed by this pen and what it can do. We have not only SEA prescriptions beginning for students with IEP's but also teachers using them in their classrooms, right from Kindergarten to highschool.
What an exciting learning day at Brock that must have been!
