2013 Outside Learning

Extreme Communication

Location: Elliston, MT, USA
Ms Graveley

Presentation Description: This presentation will share the story of my classroom being chosen by Skype in the Classroom to follow Mark Wood during his summit attempt of Mount Everest. Educators will be exposed to the power of global communication when helping students become 21st century learners. My goal for this session is to share my experience with other teachers and help them transform their teaching to include learning opportunities outside the classroom. By the end of the session, I hope educators will feel comfortable and invigorated to use Skype in their classrooms.

2013 2013-Teasers Building Learning

Teaser: T3: Triple Threat in Tech: Art, Music, and Media

Published by:

We are so excited about Carol Broos’ upcoming K-12 Online session. Carol says, “On a daily basis I get requests for people where to find non-copyright music OR common domain pictures. It is becoming more and more important we empower ourselves to compose music, create our own artwork, and then create our own movies.”

This is some of what she has in store for us!
