If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, you know I love to get my geek on as I explore cool tech tools for the classroom. This week, I am (as we say here in the South) in hog heaven. I am just pulling in from a road trip to New Orleans where I met with some of the top technology using educators in Louisiana at this year's LACUE conference. The Classroom Cafe' Gals, Kathleen and I, presented on projects our students have completed using iPhone apps. We shared project descriptions, rubrics, and student samples in our #AppyHour presentation. It was so much fun! We even made a theme song:)
While at the conference, we had a chance to reconnect with old friends, see new products in the vendor area, and hear fantastic presenters like Lisa Dick and Dr. Tammy Seneca! Both Lisa's and Tammy's presentations were tied to curriculum changes resulting from the implementation of Common Core. I learned so much from each of them and I am eager to revisit their presentations again to catch anything I might have missed. Lisa maintains a Wiki filled with professional development resources, effective teaching strategies, and ideas for technology integration into various content areas and Tammy has posted numerous resources on West Baton Rouge Schools' website including information on content trailers, geocaching, Google Lit Trips, and #MyFavFriday, Bloom's Technology Taxonomy. I choose it as #MyFavFriday out of all of the things I saw and heard at the two-day conference, because I love the concrete ideas provided in the Technology Taxonomy and think it will be especially helpful for planning future classroom activities.
