K-5 Peer Coachings

With the excitement of having the paid version of Seesaw many K-5 teachers are wondering how to get started using Seesaw and some are wondering how to use it even more in their classrooms. According to the website, "Seesaw empowers students to independently document their learning and provides an audience for their work—their peers, parents, or the world."   We have really seen Seesaw transform the classroom with integrating technology naturally into their instruction. The HUB and the Seesaw site have many amazing resources for you.  Some of our teachers are becoming official "Seesaw Ambassadors" which is so exciting. If you have any questions about how Seesaw or are looking for ways to incorporate it more, please reach out to your iCoach for ideas. 

Junior High Apple Vanguard Day 3

This year we were fortunated enough to train 40 teachers through the Apple Vanguard Program. They attended 24 hours worth of courses facilitated by Apple Educators and us, who are Apple Foundations Trainers. These 40 teachers had opportunities to build their foundational understanding of the iPad, MacBook, iWork and iLife applications. Teachers worked together in grade level groups to curate lessons to bring back to their students and team members. These teachers are great resource in all buildings to reach out to for ideas.
