KEYNOTE - BELIEVE: The Power of Belief !

When was the last time you truly felt someone believed in you? For some of our students, it’s been way too long since they were overwhelmed with the positive power of belief. In Amy’s keynote, she shares how powerful the power of belief can be for ourselves as educators, for the teams that we work on, and most importantly, for our students. Amy shares how everyday stories she’s encountered as an elementary principal have completely transformed her school community. Her passion for her students demonstrates that the power of belief is real, and if you aren’t so sure, let Amy convince you otherwise.

Successful Leadership

School districts often juggle many different initiatives that are geared towards the organization’s success. Your IT department is capable of contributing to the success of these objectives in strategic and impactful ways, but they’re often engaged too late to provide enhanced value. All too often, the IT department is viewed as a tactical cost center or “firefighters” while IT should be one of the most strategic assets you have at your disposal. Join us to see how purposeful leadership and process can get IT out of the proverbial basement and truly impact the classroom.

Common Core wants students to make connections with text and give presentations - but why not have them present their information in a creative way. Come and see how Slides can be used to create stories, ebooks or even make slides branch off in different directions (like a choose your own adventure book!). You will leave with a new appreciation for Google Slides and will wonder how you haven't done this in class before!

Mobile Leadership: On the Move & Connected!

Ever find yourself swimming in a pile of post-it notes, calendar invites, and too many shared Google Docs?! Ahhhh! Me too! The amount of information thrown at us as leaders, combined with the amount of info we push out to others is overwhelming to say the least. Come spend some time thinking about your work flow and syncing your calendar, docs, to do lists, etc. in order to save time and be more efficient and effective as a leader through mobile leadership. The benefit: less time in your office and more time with students supporting teaching and learning.

Engage & Empower with FlipGrid

We live in a time of many screens. Our students are growing up in a world fully immersed in multiple social contexts, many of which are digital. If only there was a way to utilize all these screens to give your students a voice and organize your prompts and lessons into easy to access lessons and grids. That would be pretty rad wouldn't it? And if such thing were to exist, it would probably be too expensive for all teachers to utilize. Guess what, there is an app for that... and wait there's more.... it is FREE. Come check out this session to explore FlipGrid and share ideas of how to use it in any classroom or building. Admins welcome too! bit.ly/c2tcore18fg
