Instructional Technology

With a mobile device deployment program, students tend to wander off and not focus on a lesson that is being taught. Nearpod, an all-in-one solution for the use of mobile devices in education, can keep students engaged.

Users can control the use of the mobile device during a lesson without having to continuously redirect students. During this course, a presentation will be displayed showing how Nearpod is used in a math class.

A Nearpod presentation will be shown to keep teachers engaged in order for them to experience what students and teachers can do. Teachers will see how a quiz can be created, interact with students, and display multimedia in the Nearpod presentation. The session will also include a hands-on opportunity to learn how to use Nearpod to build a presentation.

Square codes are showing up more and more in magazines, stores, theaters, and everywhere else. QR Codes have the power to link the real world to the digital world.

In this session, explore ways to use QR codes and augmented reality to communicate and educate. Attendees are encouraged to bring a smartphone or mobile device with a built-in camera to fully participate in this interactive session.

Mobile devices inspire creativity and hands-on learning with features not found in any other educational tool.

Attendees will learn how to leverage mobile devices in a science classroom to maximize its potential and explore apps that are useful for various hands-on environmental science, biology, and physical science labs.

Attendees will ultimately be able to identify how to select the most effective apps for the classroom, including ways to incorporate the mobile device into teaching, learning, and assessment processes.

Attendees will learn to implement mobile devices in the math classroom to maximize its potential, including apps and sample lesson plans from an algebra class.

Additional topics covered include: how to select the most effective apps for a classroom, ways to incorporate the mobile device into teaching, learning, and assessment processes, and the paperless math classroom.

Teachers will examine how it can be accomplished with the mobile device and go hands-on to create their own class.

This course is designed for sixth through 12th grade teachers.

Witness the transformation from the traditional classroom to an innovative learning environment.

While the focus of this session is the English classroom, cross-curricular aspects can be utilized for other languages or social studies classrooms. This session highlights interactive apps, study tools, and creative learning.

This session provides an overview of how 1:1 programs have transformed teaching and learning in schools. Explore top-rated apps used in education to support instruction in academic content areas, data and assessment, reporting, and management.

With the mobile device, learners can perform research, collaborate, interact with experts, and produce creative works. This session examines unique features of the mobile device that support student learning, plus apps and activities that encourage mobile learning.

Mobile devices inspire creativity and hands-on learning with features attendees won’t find in any other educational tool – from a device that students really want to use.

Learn how to leverage mobile devices in the instruction of math to at-risk learners to maximize their potential.

Learn best practices for classroom use, work with apps and sample lesson plans, then explore how to select the most effective apps for at-risk learners.

Attendees will also discover ways to incorporate mobile devices into teaching, learning, and assessment processes.

This interactive session explores ways students use mobile devices to make learning a 24/7 experience. With mobile devices, learners can practice skills, perform research, collaborate, and produce creative works. This session is a rich source of ideas, resources, and information about learning in a connected world.
