2019 NM Digital Learning Conference

Have you ever wanted to travel to a far away place? Do you ever learn about ideas that you can't touch? Green screens can help your students to engage in learning in a new way. They can take students to different places or allow story telling and puppets to travel into fun stories. We will use a hands-on approach to teaching green screens for learning. We will use full sized screens and box screens to allow participants to practice and learn about green screens to enhance their classrooms. We will share student work and guide you in an interactive adventure! Transport yourself to a virtual location, talk to your digital self and use cutouts and props to create powerful effects. Play and learn alongside and be inspired by their creativity and innovative techniques.This session is about one app and technique, but the goal is to provide a nudge of inspiration for teachers to make their own classrooms more creative and student-centered.

We will discuss how to use Apple's Creativity apps to promote literacy concepts. This presentation will focus on increasing students' creativity while also showing mastery of literacy concepts. We will focus on using Apple Apps to create transformational literacy lessons.

In this presentation, participants will work with Google Applications to promote writing in the classroom with elementary school students. Within the presentation, there will be exemplars of student work, ideas for writing projects within the Google Applications, and time to prepare a writing assignment that teachers can use within their curriculum. This presentation will also discuss how teachers and elementary students can communicate and collaborate with each other on writing assignments within Google Applications, present research and stories, and begin exploring creative presentation methods.
