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/
Makerspaces - How we went from zero to a hero in our district. This session will explain how we created our makerspaces, where we found funding and donations and the steps you can go through to create your own. We will also discuss how the teachers/students get involved the makerspace and challenges we pose to them. I am excited to present with @mr_splavec
