Take a Deep Dive on How to "Flip" Your Classroom
There are many terms synonymous for "Flipping," such as "Flip," "Hybrid," "Blended," "Inverted," ... the process is about using technology to transform the way students learn.
Working with Jane King and Jason Adams, teachers will have the experiences of two different co-trainers in the expertises of Science, Math, and in Technology to Flip the Science curriculum.
While the focus will be on science, this workshop is intended for any teacher interested in this process of removing the lecture from class, allowing for more discussions and higher levels of learning to occur.

Ozobots-- Tiny Robots with Superhero Skills for your Students
We will play and discover with these Ozobots and learn all the wonderful ways to use these little (affordable) robots. If you don't have 1:1 iPads, that is okay-- Blockly (the coding language) works on all platforms because it is web based.
And yes, there is an app for that -- three actually. IPads-- good. No ipads--good. No computers? -- still good. This little robot will work with markers and paper as well.
(Makes a great gifts for birthdays and holidays, too.)

Pinning & Tweeting for Resources & Ideas
This summer, join your colleagues from across the Capital District for a half-day exploration of Pinterest and Twitter.
In Pinterest, we will be looking at Pinterest through the teacher's lens to find resources and share resources and ideas with each other.
Don't be afraid of Twitter! Twitter has a wonderful gathering of teachers, especially with an edge in techy ideas, just waiting to share ideas AND they usually link right back to their blogs and websites. We will learn how to create an account and learn how to search hashtags and realize you can listen without needing to Tweet until you are ready!
During this training you will:
• Learn the basics of a Pinterest & Twitter.
• Create your own boards and accounts
• Start following favorites.
• Find resources for your classroom.

Apple Classroom -- New Update for 9.3
Classroom is a powerful new iPad app that helps teachers guide learning, share work, and manage student devices.
--See what your students see with Screen View. View any student's iPad screen on your iPad screen. Check in and see how students are progressing through an assignment or quiz.
--Launch and lock apps with Remote Control. Launch a specific app or textbook page on each student's iPad at the same time. You can also lock iPad into a single app, so students stay focused on the subject or test at hand.
--Reset forgotten passwords right in the classroom. If your students forget their passwords, you can reset them directly from your iPad. So they can get right back to work, without having to wait for IT.
--Share student work on the big screen. If your classroom has Apple TV, you can mirror any student's screen to your TV monitor or projector. It's a great way to highlight student work, encourage collaboration, and keep everyone involved.
We will also discuss (and show) the new share feature for iPads. Even if students share an iPad, they can make it their own. --Shared iPad is a new feature in iOS 9.3 Apple designed it for schools that use a shared device model but still want to provide personalized experiences. Before class begins, you can assign any iPad to any student in your classroom. Students know which devices to use because their pictures are on the Lock screens. And they can access their personal content with a password or an easy-to-remember four-digit PIN. After students log in, their homework, apps, and assignments appear exactly as they left them.
