School Leaders
This will be a lightning fast session that is a totally updated version of my 2024 FETC Twenty-four for ’24 session. What promising, free tools are available that you could implement on Monday? What’s new with virtual and augmented reality apps? There will be an overview of the newest and most promising artificial intelligence apps, including strategies for using them safely, and thoughtfully, in classrooms. You will learn about inexpensive little drones and robots and where to find millions of free resources and authentic artifacts. Learn about innovative apps for individuals with special needs and how children are using them. See apps that provide current information and thought provoking conversations about civics, media literacy, and specific strategies for students to help them evaluate social media postings. Hear about technologies and innovative ideas that do not yet exist when this session was proposed. The term “Electronic Constructivism” was coined by this presenter, a former early childhood classroom teacher, who will link these technologies to what it is all about: Good Teaching. Participants will receive links to all applications, articles, and resources. Bring your curiosity and your sense of humor. The session will end with a light-hearted summary and techy raffle prizes.
