Attended the Dynamic Landscapes conference put on by VITA-Learn and hosted by Champlain College this past week.
Several colleagues, both within and without my current district, presented Thursday, and I attended and presented Friday. Joyce Babbitt, BRMS librarian, spoke about her Nook reading project, while Katie Rose and Kim Mussante, both of Essex Middle School, spoke about their collaborative 6th grade reading project. Good, hands-on, practical information.
Meanwhile, I gave a presentation focusing upon "updating" the traditional Language Arts curriculum to include 21st century media and tools. I included a number of different projects that I have done with students this year (both long-term and stand-alone), as well as some of the more concrete tools and organizers (aka paper) that I use to scaffold information with students.
The presentation can be found here.
