Help the Midwest’s 1:1 districts learn from each other about innovative teaching, learning, and administrative practices that are occurring in their districts;
Build excitement and ‘buzz’ around 1:1 laptop computing initiatives in the Midwest; and
Help others who are interested in 1:1 computing learn more about how to get started and be successful.
The institute is open to anyone interested in 1:1 laptop computing initiatives in P-12 schools, whether they currently are working in such a program or just want to learn more. http://iowa1to1.com/ Session Resources
Participants will explore stop motion videos and how they can be used to foster learning opportunities that ask student to collaborate, communicate, think critically, and create. In this session, a teacher will share his journey of using stop motion with students, how he approached this simple technology, the roadblocks he encountered along way, and when used intentionally in the learning process, the impact this technology had on student achievement. Participants will be asked to join in a collaborative conversation intended to explore applications of this technology that can span across content areas and grade levels. This session is intended to be interactive and fun! If possible, session participants should bring an iPad with Stop Motion Studio (free) already downloaded. Although the session will highlight creation on the iPad, solutions for creating stop motion videos on Mac and Chromebook devices will also be discussed.
