IMLEA Monday Minute
December 4, 2017

Congratulations to Riverside Intermediate, Plymouth!
What Could Be Better Than Free PD??? OUTSTANDING Free PD!!
Ditch That Textbook Virtual Digital Summit Turkey Run's own Matt Miller has become known world wide for Ditch That Textbook--and is a nice guy to boot! He has lined up nine days of great, free PD beginning December 15. To make things easy, a new video from an outstanding educator will be added each day. Watch on your own time, but before December 31. More information can be found here and linked below on the calendar. | KQED Teach Source-Checking Bootcamp Spend 10 minutes a day for 10 days this Winter Break and you can sharpen your source-checking skills for the new year, and bring these skills back to your students when the break is over. The Bootcamp will start on December 27, and will be hosted by KQED staff and experienced classroom teachers Andrea Aust and Rachel Roberson. You need to join KQED Teach first, but then will also have access to several other free media literacy courses they offer, as well as lesson plans. | Free CS Fundamentals Workshop at UIndy I have attended this course with Michele Roberts of IUPUI. She is phenomenal! On Saturday, December 16, in addition to learning about the many resources available at Code.org, you will spend some time on Indiana's new computer science standards, K-8. This workshop is suitable for classroom teachers as well as librarians and technology educators. |
