Join us as we look at developing new literacy skills for the new global community and how to develop (or join) and manage a student-based, global collaborative project with your K-12 class. . ||> **C20** || Leo Hayes High School || Students have a familiarity and facility with social networking sites that rivals most face-to-face social interaction. We’ll look at one teacher's success in implementing various web tools in a Language Arts curriculum. With a proper understanding of the tools, the medium can truly become the message. By introducing these concepts in an innovative, 1:1 classroom environment and allowing them to speak with the voice with which they are most comfortable, communication will continue well beyond their 45-minute period. When the student returns to her/his home environment, they can re-connect withidentical tools and concepts in an environment that they have collectively created. . ||> **C25** || Devon Middle School || One-to-one learning and technology-rich learning environments scream for a change in the rules of the learning game. Come explore how one teacher, using a real example, plans his technology-based student projects, how they are shaped, connected to curricular outcomes, managed on a day to day basis, challenges students to locate, assess, connect and communicate information and assesses student learning. . ||> **C54** || School District 16 Technology Mentors || The SMART Response interactive response system is available in 4 unique models to suit a variety of learning environments, such as 1:1, K-12, early education, special needs and advanced math and science. Each model gives teachers the ability to instantly track lesson comprehension to gain immediate insight into student learning and help drive learning. . ||> **C167** || School District 6 Technology Mentor || Twitter? Ning? Facebook? What do these have to do with school? Come find out how teachers (as learners) have begun to utilize the power of social media tools to connect, share and collaborate across the city, the province, the country and the world through their development of a Personal Learning Network. . ||> **C124** || School District 14 Technology Mentor || Free is a nice price! Proprietary software continues to increase in cost causing users to look for free, open source options. Through the efforts of a community of developers, the availability of open source software open to teachers and learners grows every day. Come learn about new software tools and how to run them from a memory stick. Bring a stick and you can even take away a sampling. . ||> **C122** || School District 18 Technology Mentor || Feel overwhelmed by the the web? Wonder how you'll ever figure out how to keep up with your students. Technology Mentors can help.
