On November 12, the CTL conference will have a day of pre-conference workshops, also at the Macomb ISD. We will have two full-day sessions focusing on the following topics:
iTeach: Using iPods and iPhones for Teaching and Learning
This full day workshop will provide an overview of how the iPod and iPhone can be used as teaching and learning tool. We’ll look at a variety of applications, hardware add-ons, and strategies for how teachers can use these devices to become more knowledgeable and productive for their own work, and how they can use these with students to support learning. We’ll also spend some time with iTunes U, and see how this amazing resource can support teaching.
How to Survive (and Thrive) as a Technology Integration Specialist
Sure, you’ve used technology quite a bit in your own teaching, but what do you do when you are suddenly given the responsibility of leading your colleagues from the land of the luddites into the 21st century? This full day workshop will address all of the considerations of being a technology leader in your school. Specifically, we’ll focus on how to provide quality professional development around technology use to your colleagues, and how to make the most of your time in doing so.
Both workshops are sponsored by the Special Interest Group in Professional Learning of MACUL (Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning).
