We often use the term technology integration, but often find ourselves doing the same things new technology. This session focuses in on technology innovation strategies. When students start to innovate they will utilize new technologies in new ways and to push the limits in their learning. This session will focus on how to increase the level of technology innovation by demonstrating how to build lessons and activities that are engaging, rigorous and relevant for all students. This session will provide any Administrator or Teacher the foundation to move beyond the Substitution level of Technology Integration and have all learners extending beyond. This is accomplished through the use of the Rigor Relevance Framework, SAMR and TPACK.

This session was created by the secondary Vanguards and other technology-driven educators at our campus. The goal for our session is to revive and expand previously utilized technology-directed lessons by actively looking for advice, information, and novel ideas from other forward-thinking and technologically advanced teachers. We selected an educator from each subject (core and extracurricular) who would be interested in revitalizing a lesson/project or expanding their knowledge from intermediate to expert in reference to specific apps or software. The session is intended for those at Confluence who have previously prepared a lesson they want to improve upon, have a lesson they would like to share that utilizes technology, and be open to change in their classroom. It is meant to be fast-paced with the opportunity for spontaneous breakout groups. Other educators are encouraged to come by and bring their own lessons they would like to improve.

A PLN is a mindset; it is not a one-shot connection. If managed well, these connections can help teachers and leaders innovate and improve student outcomes. Lifelong learning requires effort.

Collaboration as a method of learning has been a fabric of education for years. However, PLNs were mostly limited to face-to-face interactions within school buildings, districts, or, in some cases, conferences, but with the technology we have today, our connections are limitless. Twitter, Voxer, EdCamp, Facebook and more, are the backbone for most PLNs. This session will provide strategies to maximize your connections and grow as an educator.
