"Try Something New!" Fridays

Flip your class!
We are educating students during a time that is both very daunting and very exciting. The advent of blended learning and the emergence of educational technology will create a shift in the paradigm of education and an environment where we are limited only by our imaginations.
Blended learning truly offers the best of both worlds: face-to-face time with your students and the critical thinking and experiential learning that technology encourages. Throughout this series of workshops, we will explore a myriad of tools that will help you to take advantage of this new format.
Come to learn from your colleagues, and inspire one another to approach your content areas with a fresh perspective and a newfound enthusiasm for what is possible.
Presentation Tools!

Using Social Media in the Classroom!
Social media tools like Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter can be extremely useful in creating a community of learners within your class. And the best part? Your students are already using them! In this workshop, we will discuss how to set up these tools and explore the ways in which each can be used to enhance content, increase efficiency and productivity, and spark dialogue.
