Empowering Students in the Digital Classroom
Instructor Marcia Gaston, Little Elm HS: "I can't find the worksheet!" or "You NEVER gave me that." We have all heard these phrases, or similar phrases from our students. Organization is constant struggle in the classroom. This struggle has turned digital as the classroom has turned from traditional to digital. This session is meant to help teachers develop and maintain their digital classroom. I will share how I have organized my digital classroom so students have access to materials.
Instructor Tiffany Troxclair, Lakeside Middle School: Playing games is not the only off task activity that some of our students are doing when they should be working. Come to this session and learn some of the other things students are doing and why we need to be watching out for them.
Instructor Misty Joaquin, Digital Learning Facilitator: This session will provide a hands-on look at several formative assessment tools that you can use in your classroom. Time will be provided for you to pick your favorite and begin putting it to practice.
Instructor Mariel Zayas-Bazan, Oak Point Elementary: Learn about classroom management apps such as Class Dojo, Voice Meter, Classroom Timer, Too Noisy, Random Name Selector, and more. These fun apps will maintain your students engaged and focused!
