Miss Wiebe and I had the honor of presenting at TEEN (Technology Excellence in Education Network) this Monday for 5 districts including Hillsboro, Marion, Herington, Peabody, and Centre. We were able to showcase how we use technology in the classroom and share our resources with other teachers. We were privileged to hear the Keynote speaker from the day, Corinne Hoisington a Professor of Information Systems of Technology at Central Virginia Community College in Virginia. She was motivational regarding the area of technology in schools. She presented this highly engaging video that sums up where the world is going with technology. Our job as educators is preparing our students for THEIR world...this is what THEIR world looks like: Life on an iPad. One quote resounded in my head:
"Don't limit a child to your own learning
for he/she was born in another time".
Greta and I's resources from the presentation are found on Edmodo. The group code is uhvdue if you would like to view the resources and what we presented, there are many helpful tools included!
