The Tech Trio hosted two groups of teachers in the Superhero Training Zone this week for the first Techie Tuesday of the year! Two different sessions took place. One group of teachers attended Teaching & Learning with an iPad Garden and the others attended Video Creation in the Classroom. Teachers were actively involved in both sessions as teachers learned strategies, tools, and digital workflow, all of which are important when incorporating technology into the classroom. Tools presented in the trainings included: Schoology, Seesaw, Explain Everything, Reflector, Notability, Camera, Green Screen by DoInk, and iMovie. Teachers also learned about the video creation strategies Super Slide Videos and Green Screen Videos. One of the most important parts of a Techie Tuesday is providing teachers with the gift time so they are able to take the training directly into their classroom the next day. As Sara Fjell (@mrsfjell) tweeted out the day after the training, “Learned Seesaw yesterday and using it to transform our presentations today!” Techie Tuesdays are another example of how Bellevue Public Schools (@BellevuePublicSchools) are investing in their people through professional development!
