Summer Spark 2016

Many districts are still fighting the cell phone battle, and they are losing. Regardless of the rules, students have phones in their pockets, purses, and backpacks… and they are using them! In this workshop, you will learn how to change cell phones from devices that cause teacher frustration to devices that create student engagement. Julie will share how she has embraced the use of cell phones in her classroom and how she has watched students come to life because of it! You will walk away from this session with several specific sites and tools to use in your own classroom (and beyond!) and convinced that cell phones can be a powerful partner in education rather than the enemy.
