Hour of Code 2014

Posted on November 20, 2014 | Comments Off

Teachers,

The Hour of Code week is quickly approaching! This year it will be December 8th through 12th. The purpose of the Hour of Code (HOC) is to expose students to programming and let them see how easy it can be. “Once students see what they can create right before their eyes, they’re empowered to keep learning.” More information here (pdf).

I would like to come into your classroom and teach students how to program. Ideally I will need an hour, but will take as little as 30 minutes if that’s what’s available.

If you are interested, let me know. I’ll stop by to see what time that week works best for you and your class.

Sincerely,

Christopher

Wired Wednesday: Sharing Learning with Educreations and uPad

Posted on October 7, 2014 | Comments Off

Teachers,

I invite you to join me for Wired Wednesday tomorrow in Colin’s room from 3:30-4:30. We’ll be working with Educreation and uPad. Each application offers a unique way for students to present their thinking in an individualized yet cohesive, organized way.

During the hour, I will demonstrate the features of the applications, we’ll discuss project ideas and have time to develop mock-ups of ideas for students to see.

Each session is worth 1/15th of a credit (1 seat hour).

Please bring your laptop and iPad.

Mark your calendar for future dates! Meeting Dates (3:30-4:30) Location: 200

Tech Tuesday: A Day in the Life of an iPadding Teacher

Posted on February 28, 2014 | Comments Off

Tech Tuesday is coming up March 4th. This time we’ll have a special guest teacher sharing her experiences with utilizing iPads in the classroom

——————————————————————-

I (Allison Clasen) would like to share a glimpse into an average day in my iPad saturated classroom. My role has shifted away from direct instruction as I’ve evolved to become more of a facilitator. I give my students the tools and guidelines to reach learning outcomes and provide assistance along the way. For the most part, they are on their own to take charge of their learning. The students rise to the challenge and produce outstanding products. The majority of our classwork consists of project-based learning with the use of rubrics. This allows the students to personalize their learning and develop a deeper understanding of concepts. My teaching style has completely changed as iPads have become an essential learning tool in my classroom. Please join me as I share ideas that have transformed learning in my classroom.
