Workshop Descriptions

#iTeach808 : Empowering Hawaii’s Teachers In Technology   Saturday, September 10, 2016

Room	Title	Presenter	Description
A-204	Virtual Reality	Michael Fricano II	Google Cardboard is an amazingly simple, yet versatile, tool can immerse your students in virtual reality experiences like none other. This session is meant to be a fun exploration of Google Cardboard. We’ll play with a handful of great apps and discuss ways in which this great new tool can be used in the classroom.
A-203	Google Classroom	Kevin Allen	Stay organized, streamline delivery of lessons, collect assignments, enhance engagement, and edit/comment/grade/return in bulk! Google Classroom is perfect for your 1:1 classroom.
A-209	Photo/Literature Journaling	Maia Rosen	Take a journey through literature with photography. The novel Half a Chance by Cynthia Lord is the perfect springboard for students to combine a love of reading with photography. Students chronicle Lucy’s journey as a budding photographer by creating their own photo journal and learn to find the “story” in their photographs.
A-210	Creating Non Fiction e-Books	Amanda Bobbitt	Everyone is an expert at something. Now, you have the chance to write a book on it! Come learn how to research a topic of your choice using kid friendly search engines such as Kiddle and KidRex, pull facts from the Unlimited Library App Epic!, and create your own e-book with Book Creator. Soon, you’ll be an expert on creating Non-Fiction eBooks too.
A-211	Student Driven Digital Portfolios	Michelle Colte	The App Seesaw will help you develop student driven digital portfolios. Age appropriate, authentic audience, strengthens school/home connections and 100% teacher friendly.

Conference Room	BreakoutEDU (7-12)	Terry Holck	Come learn about and experience Breakout EDU, where you are lost in a Time Warp and must navigate the history of communication in order to escape!
H.S. Library	BreakoutEDU (K-6)	Michelle Bagaoisan & Cecilia Chung	Do you have what it takes to Breakout? Breakout EDU is a challenging and fun way to engage your students in problem solving skills through close-reading. If you haven't played it before, come join us for a game of Candy Caper Breakout (K-6) and learn how to use it in your classroom.
H.S. Library	BreakoutEDU (K-6)	Jennifer Arthur	Another K-6 BreakoutEDU workshop
Tech 1	Stop Motion Animation	Melanie Ching	Stop motion animation gives students opportunities to explore and create with different materials and manipulate them in creative ways to demonstrate their learning in other content areas.
Tech 2	Early Childhood and Technology	Dr. Elizabeth Park	Learn about what mindful technology means for early childhood education and what early childhood educators and parents should consider when integrating technology. Alien Assignment, Toontastic, and Roll Call are few apps that can be used mindfully.
Tech 3	Minecraft In Education	Gabriel Yanagihara	Learn to play Minecraft and see example projects and lessons that 'Iolani teachers have done using Minecraft. Participate in a Hands-On discussion as we run through a template lesson you can use.

12 Breakout Sessions

The first 100 at the door will receive a free copy of Alan November's book.  Register today!  

Check out the 12 breakout sessions on Saturday, September 10!

The theme this year is preparing 21st century learners.  Our goal is to learn how to use technology to teach students the 6Cs of education: connectivity, communication, collaboration, creativity, culture, and critical thinking.  How can we leverage technology effectively in the classroom to prepare 21st century learners?  Keynote speaker Alan November will be discussing his book Who Owns the Learning? and sharing ways to use technology to achieve these goals in the classroom.

After the keynote, you will get to meet each presenter during the meet and greet, then decide which one you'd like to revisit for a more in depth 1 hour classroom workshop.  No RSVP required for each session.  Just register to attend the conference!

Coffee, breakfast, and lunch will be provided.  This event is made FREE thanks to our sponsors, Sacred Hearts Academy and the Augustine Educational Foundation.

Recap Of iTeach808

Mahalo for joining us on Saturday, January 30, 2016 at #iTeach808.  We had more than 100 educators from 50 different schools in Hawaii in attendance.  Many said that the keynote Alan November @globalearner changed the way they thought about global learning.  Afterwards, participants enjoyed the Global Learners Playground where they got to visit any of the 11 different workshop stations.  We hope you can join us at our next #iTeach808 and keep up the global learning!
