Have you been looking for the right application for student sharing, collaboration and documentation of student learning? Do you want something easy that even a kindergartner can use independently? In this hands-on activity (bring your iPad) you will discover the power of Seesaw. Our teachers love this tool, and use it with all curriculum areas K-5 including specialists and specials.

Build your tech tool box with these 20+ apps every educator should know about. You may have heard of some, while others may be new to you. This quick run-down will help spark some new ideas for the upcoming school year.

Explore your creative side and learn to integrate the arts through the use of iPads. This class will briefly touch on what arts integration is and why it should be included in steAm. We will share examples of integration projects, let you give it a try, give apps used, and share tips. Bring biographies to life, create musical timelines, and MORE! Participants will need to download the Chatterpix app for interactive activity.

***Please bring a device with Seesaw on it. If possible, bring a second device with Seesaw (like a phone) so that you can easily approve apps through the teacher portal. I will also have a few devices available for your use***
This workshop is designed for educators that have dabbled or started using Seesaw in their classroom and are ready to take it to the next level. Come learn and share how students mash up Seesaw with other creation apps to demonstrate their understanding, teach other students a skill, or collaborate and connect with others. Collect some new ideas to help your students build a portfolio, or gather tools to transform your class into a blended learning environment that supports the needs of all of your learners. Participants should have a basic knowledge of Seesaw in order to get the most out of this workshop. Participants are encouraged to bring any examples from their classroom to share.

Come see what the hype is all about! Empower your students to share their learning. Allow them to choose how they share what they have learned. Open your virtual doors for other classrooms and parents to collaborate and communicate in a safe and friendly teacher monitored environment. Flip your lessons easily, or differentiate at the push of a button. Create a blended learning environment that supports ISTE's standards for teachers and students. Seesaw is an amazing and versatile tool that can transform your classroom and change the way you facilitate learning.
