Will you be able to escape?
Research shows that students using i-Ready Math instruction score 65% higher than their peers not using the program. Wouldn’t you love to have access to this software for your students (free of charge)? Come learn how you can get licenses for your school through the STEM Action Center (part of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development). Built from scratch to meet the rigor and complexity of the Utah Core Standards, i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction (Math and Reading) are being used with more than 60,000 students across Utah.
i-Ready identifies student needs down to the sub-skill level and provides targeted, individualized online instruction. Utah teachers and administrators love the robust, easy-to-use suite of reports which provide additional personalized instructional recommendations which can be used in a blended environment to help move students to grade level."The Powers of PowerPoint"
A workshop geared at early childhood teachers (K-3), but could be adapted for older grades. We will explore PowerPoint as a platform to customize and create lessons and materials for the classroom. An overview of creating simple materials, such as worksheets or games, to slightly more advanced techniques in developing interactive lessons. We will also explore how to obtain and utilize digital media like developmentally appropriate fonts and clip art.
This session will focus on and address the following guiding questions:
Spark Student Learning with Adobe Spark! Come learn the easiest student tech tool for creating narrated slideshows, web stories and web pages, and online memes, posters, and banners. Adobe Spark (which includes Spark Video, Page, and Post) makes it simple and FREE to create professional looking content in the cloud. These tools are easy enough for young children and professional enough for most adults. We'll also review some of the UEN resources and tools that can be used in conjunction with Adobe Spark and can lead to powerful student learning.
Quick Response (QR) codes are easy to create and have many uses in the classroom. With the posting of a QR code, you can lead students to information by just using their computer’s or mobile device’s camera. This session will give you ideas ways to use in your classroom.
SECONDARY IS INVITED. What does Google Classroom have to offer? What are the differences between Canvas, Edmodo and Google Classroom? What makes it better? Why would I want to learn about it I already use something else? These answers and more will be discussed during our session and how easy to set one up. When we think about a classroom of the future I believe it will include Google Classroom. We will also be looking at add-ons that will help make Google Classroom the best thing that has ever happened for education.
