2024 Innovative Practices Conference (IPC)

Adobe Express is an easy and creative way to teach your students stop motion animation! Students can use the AI features within Adobe Express to create unique images for their animations and add music as well! Examples will be given for several subject areas including Science, Math, ELA and Foreign Language.

Do you have students who have problems with executive functioning skills such as organization, following directions, listening, personal space, etc.? Then this presentation is for you! This session will be focused on my routines for social emotional groups and resources I use to create low cost positive behavior incentives. (This session is primarily for intervention specilaist, but general education teachers can get great strategies as well. )

Technology isn't merely a diversion or a time sink. Instead, when employed creatively and with intent, technological resources can significantly enrich educational practices. They facilitate improved instruction, enable the tracking of student progress, foster metacognitive skills and communication abilities, bolster confidence in public speaking, and inspire innovative information sharing among students. Citing examples from Pre-K to 6th grade students, you will explore and experiment with tech tools such as Google Slides, YouTube, Screencastify, Flip, and We Video, among others.
