ETI

Presenter Ann Johnson (IU12)
 * ||

Technology integration and collaboration are the primary goal. Very first workshop was math. Exposure to traditional and emerging technologies were also their goal. Technologies in a day consist of: Moodle, Your Tube/Teacher Tube, Google Docs, Excel, Discovery streaming, Interactive Whiteboards, Inspire Data, Google Earth, Photostory, Podcasting, Skype, Social networking/bookmarking, Videoconferencing, and more.

The structure of the day:

Opening Sessions - an assigned technology activity to complete right away with other grade-level teachers. Use the Google Doc spreadsheet to collaborate and share. Often show video clip.

Grade Level Sessions - keystone integrators run this. Subject area teachers do the presenting!!

Stations - 20 minute sessions (Promethean Board, Skype, Videoconferencing,...) tailored to meet the individual needs of those present. Entire workshop/course is on Moodle.

Several vendors are present for teachers to talk with.

After 2 sessions and vendor visits they find someone local to videoconference with during the afternoon.

In my opinion: This presenter was trying to sell the ETI workshop they offer at LI12. I think it would be a worthwhile way to learn about many emerging technologies. Unfortunately, this presentation was not what I expected. I'm here to learn about technology.

Another view: Series to provide opportunities and resources to enable k-12 instruction to differentiate instruction by integrating emerging and traditional technologies.

History of ETI web 2.0 workshop IU15 First target Math: special collaboration element Goals: integration and collaboration Grade level sessions: gadgets and gizmos ( first time) Integration and standards Subject focused

Structure of the Day Opening sessions: 35 teacher average, Seating by grade level, given assignments to use technology collaboratively by level. (Can use resources via key given at end of session) Grade level sessions: 2 hour period with Keystone presenters. Powerful since presenters are subject teachers sharing! Access points from moodle: RSS, science tags, Math and Science similar, Language Arts shift to focus on stations and process rather than tools. Graphic organizers vs inspiration. Skype, Publishing ( wikis, Lulu ( publishes whole book) podcasts, e-books, audiobooks) After 2 sessions, professional sharing,and vendors cafe(prize incentives!), videoconferencing to culminate the day.
