Last week I attended the Innovative Education Colorado Conference (InnEdCO) in Keystone, CO. Throughout my four days, I spent most of my time learning about personalized professional development, online tools to support students, and STEAM activities. I also presented on Wednesday afternoon about 3D printing and the use of TinkerCAD for students to create 3D objects.
I used this blog to take notes about my experience. Here’s a break down of my notes:
Personalized PD:
1) Sarah Thomas Keynote & Workshop during the morning of Day 1 (@sarahdateechur)
2) Session 2, Day 2: Personalized Professional Development using the EdCamp model
3) Personalized Learning with the Beacon Network in DPS for the 2nd session of Day 2
4) Personalized PD — planning tools for all levels and types of teachers
Online Tools:
1) HyperDocs with the Denver Public Schools Digital Coaches during Day 1
2) Gamifying your Classroom during my final session of Day 1
3) ELL Toolbox – finding tools to assist our English Language Learners for the first session of Day 2
4) Shark Tank Tools — a fantastic set of tools within one website built by Candy McGregor and Megan McQuinn
STEAM:
–STEAM with Eric Carle — I love the idea of using picture books and STEAM activities
Also, on Wednesday, June 13, I offered a 2 hour workshop during the conference. I’ve linked my presentation below:
