Elementary Technology Conference
Elementary teachers from Hempfield attended and presented at an Elementary Technology Conference at IU13 on April 15th. It was a day of sharing how technology is being used in K-6 classrooms. Here’s what some of our teachers had to say about the sessions.
Today I used the projector and Word to go over our reading pages. The kids thought it was so cool that I used that instead of the blackboard. A student shouted out, “I just love this digital classroom!” Since the conference I have been using the projector everyday in more creative ways. The students love it. I enjoy it too! - Christine Ruhl, FES Grade 1
I was amazed at what primary kids are doing with technology. I am so looking forward to trying out things with my first graders next year! -Missy Paup, FES Grade 1
The Moodle and NetTrekker sessions were super. The NetTrekker session was good because it was something that could be used and integrated immediately. -Ronda Miller, LPC Grade 3
I learned a lot at the conference and even started a wikispace for one of my writing classes to try to incorporate an online journal of their writing piece for the 4th MP. -Ian Daecher, FES Grade 6
The day provided A LOT of ideas. The actual classroom teachers presenting were able to present as a “tried already” idea with much insight to what might need to be adjusted in the classroom. It was hard to choose between presentations. This should definitely be an annual conference!
