Highlands PTA Meeting November 10, 2009

Tomorrow night I'll be presenting to Highlands Elementary Parent Teacher Association.

The goal of the meeting is to share the many ways that technology is being integrated into the classroom. My opener for the presentation will be to challenge the parents not to only ask

"What did you learn at school today?"

but also ask...

"How did you learn at school today?"

Here is my presentation as well as the link to the website for the presentation.

Information about GWE

REGISTER HERE!

Search, learn, share! Brought to you by the producers of the Google Teacher Academy, the nationally acclaimed Google Workshop for Educators (GWE) introduces participants to innovative ways Google tools can be used in education. The one day workshop includes a full day of fast-paced presentations and hands-on activities including experience with advanced search techniques, collaborative web-based applications, and inspirational instructional strategies. Google Certified Teachers share ways they've implemented tools such as Google Docs, Google Earth, Google Sites, and... even more. Participants who complete the event are given access to the Google Workshops for Educators Network (GWEN), an online community focused on supporting educators as they learn more about the power of Google to drive student learning.

We are looking for creative participants (eager beginners to advanced) that have a desire to build on current skills and integrate relevant technology into the classroom. Participants should have a desire to collaborate online with other educators from the workshop and help support each other with questions and successes. Participants should bring their own ideas and be willing to look at big picture when pace is fast and dive into the relevant details during time set aside for application.

Quotes from GWE past participants…
