#AppyHour
Apps for High School, Apps for Middle School, Apps for Elementary School. You name the concept, "There's an app for that!" Let's face it, apps ROCK! We all have our favorites. Come ready to share and take notes using your favorite notes app. An Apple Distinguished Educator will take you on a guided tour of his favorite apps and then open the floor for sharing of your favorite personal and professional apps that make your life great. We will focus on iOS devices like the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and how they transform life for us all. Warning you may come out of the presentation with a long list and you may not be able to take notes fast enough.

Lodge McCammon-Flipping the Classroom-Time to Teach...Keynote Video Conference
Flipping the classroom is an instructional method that has the power to make every teacher more efficient, highly reflective and give them an unprecedented ability to build relationships. Teachers using this method deliver their lecture or direct instruction content through concise videos, which opens class time for rigorous and engaging student learning activities. Using simple tools, every teacher can start making this change tomorrow.
