Georgia Educational Technology Conference



I'm excited to announce that Michele Liggins and I have been chosen to present at GAETC next week.  We are both so excited we have totally geeked out and gone out of our way to make sure our presentation is engaging and informative.

We are presenting a session called "iPads and iPods in the Primary Classroom" on Friday, November 8th at 11am.  This is right up our alley since we both use these devices on a daily basis with our students.  Michele has been doing some amazing things with her first graders and the iPods.  She's such an inspiration to me!  She was able to get 3 iPod carts for our school through grant writing and has led the Technology Committee for the past few years.   There's nobody I would rather share this experience with than Michele.  I know we are going to rock our presentation and have a great time!

When you come to our session you will walk away with the following capabilities: 
  • An understanding of how you can use iPads to meet the digital requirements of Common Core State Standards.
  • A tool to help you evaluate apps before you download them and use them in the classroom.
  • Suggestions on how to manage use in the classroom.
  • How to create, use, and implement QR codes in the classroom.
  • A list of our favorite apps for reading, math, creativity, and management.
  • Knowledge of grants that you can apply for to fund implementation in your classroom
All of our resources will also be available on the GAETC website if you can't make the session but are interested in reading more about our session.
