==== Education City is a web-based program designed to evaluate students in Language arts, Math and Science. I will show a number of activities, explain the student reports, and give classroom lesson plans to fit with the activities. ====

**//‘How to Interactively Review and Introduce Content Material using a Clicker System’//**
====Introducing and reviewing content material can often be boring to the instructor and the student. How can you keep them from "drifting off" or texting when you need their focus on important material? One way is the interactive clicker system. I will demonstrate how to create and use interactive lessons and reviews that will keep your students interested and learning. whether showing them new material or reviewing for assessment, interactive clickers are immensely useful and fun.====

**//‘TI-Navigator in the Math Classroom’//**


 Presenters will demonstrate the use of the TI-Navigator system (purchased through a grant from the MACS Education Foundation) in the classroom. Including
 * Sending students files
 * Retrieving student files

===="Differentiated Instruction with Technology" is a one-hour seminar appropriate for elementary and secondary teachers, technology support staff, and administrators. Participants will explore research-based strategies for teaching learners of different needs, with a focus on technology tools. Although purchasing new resources is a priority for many schools, implementing and assessing the use of these tools is equally important. Quality teachers will appreciate the focus on student-centered strategies in this collaborative workshop.====

**//‘Thinking Outside the Taco: Adapting Classroom Practices for the 21st Century Learner’//**
==== This workshop will explore various web tools available for use in the classroom. We plan to discuss the possibilities of integrating an arrangement of multimedia such as voice threads, and video conferencing, as well as teacher controlled blog spaces to allow students to display digital projects. We will utilize freeware and applications to simulate various lesson plans that have been created for the foreign language classroom but can be adapted to a variety of skill levels and disciplines. ====



"Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Robotics"
Sean, an 8th grade student at Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School will demonstrate how Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Robotics work and how they used them in their middle school science classroom to learn about machines and physics. Sean will show how these sophisticated robots are built and how they are programmed.

Where to purchase Comic Life Comic Life in Education

**//‘Use of Comic Life in the Classroom’//**
====﻿Students create a comicbook based upon science concepts (my examples are elements). Students use digital cameras to take photos and incorporate them into Comic Life to create a comic book. May be used in any subject.====

**//‘Cameras in Action’//**
====During technology class,students in grades K-8 have been using digital cameras, flip cameras and web cameras to add variety to their projects. They have been using these files to add to their multimedia presentations in PowerPoint, MovieMaker and Prezi. It is my intention to present these projects to the Technology Fair participants and to involve them in other ways to use cameras in the classroom. Some of the projects are heart disease movies in MovieMaker, North Carolina PPP with a video, Digital Photography class projects, claymation projects, etc==== .[|Digital Photography] [|Digital Photography Prezi] Heart DiseaseHeart Disease Video[|SchoolTube Video] Heart Disease MovieMakermedia type="file" key="Marie Lawson.wmv" width="300" height="300"

**//‘Scholastic Keys and Tom Snyder’s FASST Math’//**
==== Scholastic Keys is an overlay program for the four Office programs. The tool and menu options are limited, large, and more colorful than those in Office. I have been using it for four years now and can see how simple it is for children move up into the Office programs. ==== ==== We have been using the Fastt Math program for 2 ½ years. The //FASTT Math // intervention program uses the research-validated FASTT system (Fluency and Automaticity through Systematic Teaching with Technology) to help all students develop fluency with basic math facts. //FASTT Math // assesses all students to uncover fluency gaps and to establish a baseline of fluency for each student. Then, //FASTT Math // automatically differentiates instruction in customized, 10-minute daily sessions. ====

[[file:Workbook_ReadingforMeaning.pdf]]
==== Research-proven strategies (teacher modeling-repeated reading-progress monitoring) are combined in a powerful Software tool accelerating reading achievement of LEP/SE/mainstream students. Seminar booklets guide participants (teachers-administrators) through the steps of the strategy, including simulations in which they take the role of struggling students, and the presenter takes the role of the teacher. (The seminar workbook and Placement Packet shown above will be available in hard copy at the conference to save you having to print out so many pages. However, I've included them here in case you want additional copies when you return to your schools.) ====

**// ‘Digital Blue – Students Can Use it Too!’ [|Digi Blue Store][[file:CellMicroscopeLabWord97Doc.doc]] //**
**// 'Document Cameras for the Classroom'[|iPevo Document Cameras] //** ==== My booth will feature the "DigiBlue" digital microscopes that can be hooked up to a laptop and are completely hands-on. Any type of slide or small object can be placed under the viewer and viewed digitally on a computer screen. The microscope also has the ability to detach from the mount and move to a larger object. It also record video and the video can be saved to the computer and edited in the same program! ==== ==== Life Science lessons, especially regarding cells and microscopic organisms can be learned with this hands-on lesson format. Students can magnify and manipulate their own microscope image with a personal computer. ====

**//‘Wikis in the Classroom’//**
====Explore the many ways you can use wikis in your classroom. Wikis are an interactive, collaborative online webpage that you can easily build and customize, creating a dynamic and exciting forum for learning 24-7.====

**//‘Project Based Learning’//**
==== Looking for a way to inspire students to develop critical thinking skills through the use of technology? Project-Based Learing is an instructional strategy that provides students an opportunity to create hands-on projects using technology. Through the use of these learning strategies students will become more excited about creating projects that are meaningful and allow them to express themselves. We will learn how to use online tools such as Mixbook to create projects that will engage students. Walk away with lesson ideas and handouts to help you incorporate multiple intelligences and provide for differentiation in the classroom. ====

**//‘ET- Text home and check your blog first!’//**
====Our children are the youngest and most creative users of non-traditional communication tools. However, they do not understand how to use them safely, efficiently, effectively and for educational purposes. To bridge this void, I introduce media literacy safety and skills through the exploration of blogs, wikis, flip cams and Quia. © Kelly Ann Wilson, Ph.D. 2010====
