Our featured presenter Lisa Johnson, an Instructional Technology Specialist with Northeast ISD, author of the TechChef4u blog, cohost of the Blogtalk Radio series Appy Hours 4 U, and co-author of the iBook "Hot Apps 4 Hots" facilitated a dynamic session attended by twelve of our EC3 Teachers.
Lisa opened the day with an engaging presentation that highlighted topics such as:
- Where do you find apps?
- Restrictions and Cautionary apps
- What happens on iPads, stays on iPads (Digital Citizenship issues that should be covered with students who share iDevices)
- iBuild iPad Lesson templates
- iBuild iPad QR codes
The morning's session ended with a showcase of productivity apps that had all participants buzzing.
After lunch, our teachers formed collaborative groups and got down to the work of applying the knowledge they had gained from the morning's session to analyze their CSCOPE curriculum and select an objective for which they could begin to develop a lesson integrating iPads.
The day closed with a session in which the teachers "shared out" with the rest of the group regarding their chosen objective and their plans for the lesson. Their enthusiasm was contagious! I'm looking forward to what Day 2 brings!
