Why Tech Tuesdays?

Here is the Prezi that was shared during Tech Tuesday on Tuesday, 10/4.

Apptastic

Thank you to everyone who attended the Apptastic breakout session and thank you hanging with me as I ran through a TON of information.  For those of you who did not attend the Apptastic breakout session don't feel like you missed out.  My handout is a google doc here and soon it will be on the TechTuesdayWiki.  On the Wiki I will have links for each of the apps directly to iTunes so you won't have to do any extra searching but you'll have to wait a day or two to link all the apps.  Pros and cons....


Here are the links at the bottom of my hand out for quicker reference.  Enjoy! Happy Apping!

Tech Tuesday 10/4

Hello Everyone,

Over 80 elementary teachers and administrators signed up for Tech Tuesdays. This is really exciting, but has caused us to look at a different plan. Instead of one large group session, the session will look like this:

Beginning at 4pm there will be a general discussion about technology integration in the classroom and the “why” behind Tech Tuesdays.

Then there will be three breakout sessions: 

1)Twitter both professionally and in the classroom (Your kids can tweet and you can learn a ton…this is not just a place to follow celebrities!)

2)Pinterest and Google Docs during Writing Workshop (This session is limited to 30 participants)

3)iPad Apps and sharing…what are you using/what can you use in your classroom

Please BYOD (Bring your own device). If you have one.

Workman has WiFi access so we should be able to use our own laptops, iPads, netbooks, etc.

See you tomorrow, October 4^th at 4pm. We will meet in the media center at Workman.
