Teaching the Elementary Grades with Technology, June 11-13 2012 in Atlanta
In this session, we will explore online tools and activities that nurture essential K-4 developmental skills and highlight innovative educational uses of the Read-Write Web. We'll show how primary school teachers are using blogs, wikis, podcasts, tablets, interactive whiteboards, and other tools to create meaningful and engaging activities. In addition, we will examine the best K-4 web sites, work with innovative tools to help improve student reading, writing, and mathematics, and learn different strategies to build creative, collaborative, and community minded classrooms.

iPads & ePubs in the Classroom, June 14-15 2012 in Atlanta (FULL)
Handhelds are increasingly finding their way into 21st century classrooms, and the iPad is quickly emerging as a favorite of primary and middle school educators for a variety of reasons: flexibility, portability, engagement, intriguing apps, and more. In addition, great possibilities exist for integration with Web 2.0 tools: slideshows, podcasts, whiteboards, photo galleries, videos, ebooks, and more. Moreover, as the iPad evolves - and its apps become more powerful - the device becomes more versatile, and its creative potential increases. Combining the best of two of our summer workshops at Harvard, we will examine both the role of iPads in the classroom as well as the creation of digital content as ePubs and iPads.
