The last day was my favorite part. We spent the morning discussing STEM Certification in Georgia, which was very informative and helped us to understand what else our school needs to do to meet the requirements to become a STEM School. The rest of the day we divided up into grade level groups and learned about Using Technology Effectively. I learned about some great programs and apps to help students build technology content. The diagram below is awesome. It is the Padagogy Wheel, starting with the SAMR model and moving down into Blooms. If you click on the image it takes you to the PDF with active links of each of the apps shown.
A few of my favorites that really stood out were;
Canva- Canva gives you everything you need to easily turn ideas into stunning designs. Create designs for Web or print: blog graphics, presentations, Facebook covers, flyers, posters, invitations and so much more. This is an app or a online program that would be great for creating info graphics with date. The program is very simple to use.
Flipsnack- FlipSnackis everything you need to easily publish captivating online magazines, transforming your pdfs into online flipbook. It works and looks great across all digital platforms, engaging students with interactive experiences.
