Lab 1A:
Developing Digital Literacy: Making Sense of Digital Tools, Tagging apps, Curating a Classroom Clearinghouse
We will engage in examining strategies for cultivating the four capabilities for digital literacy: Accessing Capability; Selection Capability; Curating Capability; Creation Capability. In small working groups, participants will explore a wide array of edu-applications for possible use in classrooms. Each team will select, tag and begin to curate a clearinghouse of potential sites for direct integration in the curriculum.
Lab 1B:
Flip your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day - Marie Alcock
Based on the work of Bergmann and Sams this session will explore flipping the classroom on two levels. The first ishow to flip the classroom with a focus on what digital tools and available resources to use. The second is flipping for student mastery with a focus on the pedagogy technique to make a flip classroom meet the needs of all students.
