Spring CUE 2018 Conference

You’ve heard about SAMR and the 4C’s, but how do you create engaging lessons that develop key 21st century skills in students? Learn how to take your lesson up the SAMR Ladder!

Do you find it ironic to lecture teachers from PowerPoint about student-centered lessons? We will demonstrate the capabilities of a Nearpod presentation (NPP), view existing Nearpod Professional Development, witness the transformation of a static .ppt into an engaging NPP, and develop your own Nearpod PD or lesson plan.

Help! My Worksheet is Stuck in my Notebook!!! Studies show that students learn well by keeping and maintaining a notebook with all their work. The problem? It's messy and the work gets misplaced or worse, lost. This session will show how to take this notebook and turn it digital. Hyperdocs and GSuite incorporated. Not to mention easier grading on the teacher end! No more packets! SAMR Model will be applied to this session, and participants will walk away with everything from basic to advanced skills in using GSuite in the classroom. Templates and resources will be shared for participants to walk away with and make their own. Not just for students...but for teachers creating lessons, as well!

Google Sites is the ultimate way for students to demonstrate their learning and share it with others. When students are creating Sites, it’s also a great opportunity to teach accessible design and build empathy while ensuring their webpages and content are accessible to people with disabilities.

The SCOE Badge Project is a program that has been initiated by the Stanislaus County Office of Education in the state of California. It has specifically been designed for anyone within the educational field to monitor and celebrate their professional learning. Once an adult learner attains a new skill or strategy they submit an artifact demonstrating how they will impact students, or whomever their audience is, with this new knowledge. For their efforts they will earn a digital badge that represents that they now possess a skill set that has made them a dynamic asset in their specific work environment. Come and learn about how the SCOE Badge Project has become a tremendous success in their county and learn how to create a digital badge for your learning environment.
