As we planned our session, we thought about the typical "sit and get." We did not want to give our attendees that type of experience. We wanted to motivate discussion and idea sharing, so that's exactly what we did or at least tried to do.
What was so awesome as presenters was to be able to make connections with others and hear other ideas and resources out there being used by others.
QR codes are fun but they have to serve a meaningful purpose and not just for the sake of using technology.
Big Takeaways:
- Dynamic vs. Static
- Work Flow w/QR Codes: Google Drive, DropBox
- Web Based Resources & Apps
- Tablet vs. Laptop Environment
- Flipped learning opportunities: www.virtualnerd.com, www.learnzillion.com, Khan Academy
- Professional Use, School Use, Classroom Use
- Single Device Classrooms vs. 1:1 Environment
