Midsouth Tech Conference
If you’re coming to the Midsouth Technology Conference, I will be a presenter at these sessions:
Dec 9: DIY Edtech-Edupunk-Why and How
(Assisting Aaron Fowles) This presentation will address the why and how of DIY educational technology, sometimes called edupunk. Rather than list a number of resources and how teachers can use them, we aim to identify the requirements of a modern education and the technologies that can help fulfill those requirements. Furthermore, we want to show teachers how many resources are available to them at no cost because we feel that many providers exploit teachers’ lack of knowledge in this area.
Dec 10: Creative Writing with Kerpoof
Learn the basics of the online creative application for kids and see how this powerful tool can be used to enhance creative writing. Get tips on how to best use the “Make a Story” and “Make a Movie” features, while also exploring management strategies for online student accounts.
Dec 10: Great Open Source and Free Resources for Your Classroom
Presenting 25+ open source software and web application resources for students and teachers that you can download or use completely free of charge. High quality, user friendly, time-saving programs that teachers and students will get a lot of use from. From classroom management to creative tools, from skill-building to file conversion–whether small or big, resources may be useful to teachers and students in grades K-12.
