Creating Digital Learning Portfolios Using Seesaw
Cullen Eller, Kerry Ann Martinez: Web.seesaw.me Students upload pictures of their work Can take pictures, videos, draw, or even upload a file The teacher has to approve it before it is posted There is a translation part of the app, so parents can see (or hear?) it in another language It is sent to parents and you can see when they have seen it Appsmashing: Book Creator, Felt Board, ChatterPix, Poplet, Green Screen (Do Ink) -- lots of apps can be used with it (Comic life to create comic strips in 4th grade) Labeling tool, so they can do word sorts or label the parts of something Archive at the end of the year and parents can download the whole portfolio

Untapped, Endless Possibilities of Google Drawings
Presenter(s): Heather and Stephanie (and MIA due to stomach bug: Christy Google Drawing as springboard for today: bit.ly/drawingsncties2017 Presentation linked We created our own Google Drawing Website/resource folder is also linked Can use Google Drawings to create drag and drop activities, create graphic organizers, thinking maps, create fraction bars, timelines, creating newsletters, maps, fictitious social media pages, etc. Official “unofficial” website they’re working on and it is “live” and is constantly updating: bit.ly/gdrawings It contains many Google Drawing templates Also a place to submit your own To create a “template” where kids can drag words and don’t get the option to edit...use word art. Allows you to have a word that moves in whole without being edited.

Unflip the Flip Presenter(s): Teika Clavell & Scott Grumelot
Think about the “Why” first, which plays right into Gradual Release of Responsibility/MTSS. Think about what you are sending home and what you what you want your kiddos to accomplish and the misconceptions they may encounter there. Guided Notes--teaching them what to write. She is in her house, which personalizes the experience. She didn’t edit it. They watch the video in the class and she circulates while they are doing it so she can check on their understanding b/c she knows her Ss. It takes HALF the time by doing it this way. PBL--this isn’t just for AG folks. Blendspace--flipping your instruction--key to differentiating your classroom. It is S centered at their own pace. tes.com/lessons This can be incorporated into Canvas or Classroom. [Tomorrow’s Session: Virtual Field Trip] In the video that she calls a “jump start” she has music and she says that music is important to have in videos because it automatically gets the attention of Ss. She stops the video before the reaction of the experiment. She also sent it to their parents. They would watch it and she could ask them for ANYTHING! She couldn’t send home a lab and it became a partnership where they would help supply her classroom because they wanted to. When you “unflip” and keep it at school, then the content stays guided by Ts and Ss stay engaged and on track. “Students love choice no matter what age they are.” Teika Clavell

Turn CC on for videos. Students will read. Two Senses!
Digital Tools and Strategies to Support Literacy in the Secondary Classroom Presenter(s): Tracey -- Presentation: tinyurl.com/NCTIESDigitalLiteracy Harness the technology they Ss use already to teach literacy skills. Ss skim articles; they read bits and pieces; multiple tabs are open--surface reading, not for depth Interacting with text: old way (sharpies, high lighters, colored pencils) vs new way (annotation tools) Why? Multiple senses. Digitally with: Apple Preview (Mac only); Diigo; Scrible; DocHub; Google Docs; Annotote.co; Hypothesis Add-On; Google Read&Write Note taking (for Ss it means transcribing or writing nothing) Use Today’s meet or Padlet as a Reader’s Response Turn CC on for videos. Students will read. Two Senses! Many of the “annotation” tools would allow for collaborative annotation which would lead to deeper thought among students; this becomes “glossing” a term by Todd Finley It’s a form of social annotation which a platform like Diigo would support but many of the above platforms could be manipulated to support. It’s really what Ss do all the time in their social media world. Science especially needs graphic organizers for breaking down difficult content for reading comprehension.

Page to Screen Presenter(s):Jessica Esposito
Mini Commercials and Augmented Reality Session Description: Reading a novel for enjoyment in high school is a rarity, but since implementing augmented reality our students have started reading for pleasure. Students have the power to choose their own novel with few limitations on the novel guidelines, which gives them ownership of their own learning. Students participate in Book to Movie Monday and Tuesday during SMART Lunch, offer suggestions, and check out books. Create displays for the Media Center and throughout the school with Aurasma and QR Codes that link to the Official Movie Trailers and student book talks. Feature Friday Book Tweets Unit information with the book Sold by Patricia McCormick

Faster Feedback in the 1:1 English Environment
Kristin Foxworth-O’Brien: How to use Kaizena.com - a formative assessment tool Can post questions using your recorded voice Can have a group with you and your class + Mrs. A and her class and they only submit the assignment once to you both (Light Bulb icon) - you can preload lessons and tutorials, so you don’t have to type the same thing over and over Create a skills item -- Add into the comments a “skills” rating of 1-4 on whatever skill you are rating them on (any skill) Broadcast will let you post announcements or changes to assignments Students upload their writing assignment (can be google docs) and you give feedback to them.

1:1 & 1 & Beyond Presenter(s): Brittany Gendron and Jeremy Evans
IQB Learning--It’s like the hero’s journey! :) Having Ss write about nonfiction reading based on their own inquiry but using modern-day models like Humans of NY and podcasts. It is important for them to use class time and the guidance of the teacher to model literacy with materials that they are reading on a day to day basis that they are engaging in outside of the classroom as well. This could be coupled with some of the strategies from the Digital Tools and Strategies to Support Literacy in the Secondary Classroom session

Friday Sessions

Personalize Learning through Student Agency
Presenter(s): Brittany Presentation: Using to take a quick poll - Free version - two questions - Word Clouds! Personalized learning for our students is hard!! Student Agency is about students having the ability to lead their learning and make decisions. - Not about arguing with the students Students must understand their learning differences - Not preferences, or learning styles. It is: working memory, task initiation, motivation, executive function. It may look like disengagement Take a learner profile Executive Function If your students are writing down EVERYTHING, then they are struggling with pinpointing the important stuff!! Sketchnoting can help students organize their ideas in meaningful ways. “Zone out to zone in” - Attention may look like distraction. Working Memory Deficit--immediate recall is a struggle, which can affect the depth of understanding of a concept or skill.
