Edu Tech

Educational institutions today seem to be in a constant state of change. New technologies are always emerging, regulations change, and research evolves. As these changes are happen, how do we infuse positive technology integration across the institution effectively? Through this session, participants will explore various technologies that can be integrated into the classroom to encourage innovative course design and student success, as well as, discuss challenges that may be faced through educational technology implementation.

The presentation will discuss how school districts can encourage staff and students to pursue self-paced and self-directed learning in academic areas along with life ready, digital literacy, and coding skills. We'll look at how the Coxsackie-Athens Central School District came to adopt the OYO Class platform to create, publish, and manage micro-credentials that promote personalized staff and student learning. .

A technology-rich classroom is more than going green, going paperless! It is creating a culture of inquiry, collaboration, and creativity. Join this workshop to harness the power of tech tools (ThingLink, Powtoon, FlipGrid, EdPuzzle, AdobeSpark, and Hyperdocs) that will help you enhance teaching and empower student learning. You will experience the power of educational technology in transforming classwork from mono-dimensional consumption into multimodal, interactive, collaborative creation, production, and sharing.

Hudson Valley's Women in Tech: Movers and Shakers / Charting Your Fearless Path

We are excited to present our regional Women in Tech.

New York State recently adopted Computer Science & Digital Fluency Learning objectives for K-12 students. For the first time, our state has defined and set an expectation for all school's to teach some Computer Science to all students. This session will be an opportunity to learn what "Computer Science & Digital Fluency" means for young students, to consider impacts this might have on the future workforce, and collaborate on ways that industry professionals (with minimal effort) can provide pivotal support to schools.

This talk aims educators. You will learn to use sensors for projects in Scratch, Javascript and other platforms using a very simple approach.

Stephen is offering to give a board and sensors to ALL the attendees of his workshop, at no cost, and to keep. Make sure to attend and share your mailing address to receive it after the workshop.
