I’m really looking forward to NECC, and will be leaving for Washington, D.C. this coming weekend. It seems like such a busy ordeal, I have no idea how I might manage to get to the Exhibit Hall or make any SIG meetings, but I think just hitting these sessions is going to give me a plethora of ideas to bring back.
Here is a list of the sessions I will be attending.
- Teaching with Digital Video in the Social Studies Classroom
- Using Digital Tools Responsibly to Create Research Papers in the Elementary Classroom
- Great Open Source Programs You Can Start Using Right Away
- Teaching with Digital Video in the Mathematics Classroom
- Teaching Elementary Students Computer Science Concepts with Scratch
- Dr. Z’s Creative Cookbook on Collaborative Communication
- CSI NECC: Computer Forensics and Data Recovery for Educators
- Improving Writing Across the Curriculum: New Tools for Old Skills
- Library of Congress Open House
- Using Place-Based Storytelling to Teach Historical and Geographical Thinking
- Digital Citizenship: Tools, Resources, and Best Practices
- 10 Standards-Based Formative Feedback Techniques Through Technology
- Raising the Bar: Differentiated Learning
I got an email from CoolCatTeacher (could it be the CoolCatTeacher???) for how to prep my laptop for the Digital Citizenship session. The Bring Your Own Laptop sessions (BYOL, hehe) I am most looking forward to. I’m anxious to learn some more ways to use Scratch in the classroom, not just in the lab. Plus, formative feedback techniques through technology–sounds like something that can make life easier for the teachers. No, I’m not excited at all, am I?
