eLearning Strategies Symposium Workshops (must be pre-registered to attend these workshops) Thursday, December 3 • 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Implementing and Sustaining a Blended Learning Program Rob Darrow (robdarrow74@gmail.com) Blended Teacher Network Blended learning is growing quickly across classrooms and schools around the world. The implementation of blended learning in several schools across the country have been observed and documented. The iNACOL Blended Learning Roadmap was developed and identified six elements essential to the implementation of any blended learning program. Leave this workshop understanding each element and how they can be applied in your school or district. Google Classroom - Jumping In Alice Keeler (mrskeeler@gmail.com) While Google Docs and Apps have allowed for new things to happen in the classroom, they were not designed expressly for the teacher and students. This left teachers with the need to create sometimes elaborate systems to fit these digital tools into the flow of their classroom. Google Classroom, however, was designed to simplify this process for teachers and students. An online interface for distributing and collecting digital work, Google Classroom makes it easier for teachers to facilitate a digital or blended learning classroom. This session will give teachers a hands-on experience using Google Classroom and go over innovative ways to create activities and lesson sets in Google Classroom. Creating a Moodle Course from Scratch Blair Roy (broy@otan.us) Outreach & Technical Assistance Network (OTAN) Spend some time creating a place with a guided path for your students as they study at their own pace in an online course. The Moodle learning management system facilitates posting and grading of assignments, administering assessments, facilitating online discussions, organizing documents, and tracking learner progress. This workshop will introduce the Moodle system as you create activities and add resources to a course shell provided for the workshop. Learn the basics as you evaluate this resource for your learners. Bring a laptop/ tablet to participate in this hands-on workshop. Pathways to Blended or Personalized Learning Saturday, December 5 • 8:15 - 11:15 a.m. Marcia Kish (kishmarcia@gmail.com) DSD Professional Development Create your own pathway towards blended learning or personalized learning with a hands-on approach to meet the individual needs of the learner. The participants will be able to see a personalized learning classroom environment as they explore their own pathways that will transition them from traditional teaching to blended learning or personalized learning. Formative assessments during the workshop will help the facilitators create customized paths and pace for each participant. We will be using PearDeck and Google Communities to quickly assess the skills of each learner and to create a backchannel for the workshop. @elearns Produced collaboratively by: Page 5
