Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

This will be a fast-paced session guaranteed to tickle your geeky side while delighting the teacher in you who wants to motivate and inspire your students. The session will highlight some enthralling virtual and augmented reality resources that you can master in minutes. Learn about powerful tools to use with your students or for your own productivity. See innovative apps promoting classroom engagement and creativity. Meet inexpensive robots and friendly little drones, and discover how they can be used thoughtfully in classrooms. Hear about technologies and innovative ideas that do not yet exist at the time this session was proposed. The session will consist of explanations, demonstrations, interactions, participation, and possibilities. The term "Electronic Constructivism" was coined by this presenter who will link these technologies to what it is all about: Good Teaching. No experience necessary - just your curiosity, enthusiasm about teaching, and a sense of humor. (Presenter(s): Maureen Yoder, Professor, Lesley University)
