Gear Beginner, Intermediate K-12 Session Evaluation: bit.ly/ess1553 Online Learning: Building Connections Outside the Classroom and Skills For the Future Erin Kahn...................................................................... Emerald Bay 3 Whether you teach in a traditional classroom or in a blended/online course, creating connections outside the classroom and guiding students through online learning is a priority. Online learning has become increasingly popular in higher education, but we are now seeing online/ blended courses in high school as this will prepare students for what they will face in college and beyond. With this comes the ability to navigate Learning Management Systems (LMS), time management skills, curating an online presence, fostering connections in an online community and so much more! Attendees will walk away with the tools needed to integrate online learning into their curriculum. Gear Beginner, Intermediate K-12 Session Evaluation: bit.ly/ess1556 M-Teaching: Go Small or Go Home Sue Hellman................................................................Laguna Beach 3 Creating engaging and effective m-learning experiences requires an element of design thinking which is different from our familiar educational planning. During this session, we’ll explore guidelines and tools that can be used to help (re)design content and interactives for smartphones. By shifting our instructional focus from what we have to share to what students need for learning and taking a ‘small first’ approach, we can begin to develop new m-instructional models which will fulfill the promise of putting learning at our students’ fingertips - anytime, anywhere, and any device. Content Intermediate, Advanced K-12, Adult Ed Session Evaluation: bit.ly/ess1557 Privacy, Practice, Presence, and You Branka Marceta............................................................. Emerald Bay 2 How comfortable do you feel about your presence online? Do you know your account settings for social media and other sites you log into? Join us and brainstorm strategies to become safe and confident citizens of the Web, and help our adult learners to achieve the same. Participants will explore their own settings on Facebook and Google, and identify relevant resources that teach about Internet safety and digital citizenship.
