Creating engaging school work for students tied to curriculum requirements is a formidable challenge. Web-based collaborative technologies can enhance opportunities for students to develop digital literacy skills alongside traditional content area knowledge and skills, but a dizzying array of options can leave educators confused and overwhelmed. Join Wesley Fryer, the Director of Education Advocacy (PK-20), AT&T Oklahoma, accomplished blogger, PhD candidate and former elementary school teacher, as he highlights several instructional strategies and web 2.0 technologies which can help teachers facilitate collaborative student learning in safe ways, protecting student privacy as well as minimizing school district liability risks. Highlighted technologies will focus on asynchronous digital storytelling and collaboration, including VoiceThread and YackPack. Join Wesley, an educator, author, digital story teller and change agent, as he shares practical activities and web-based tools which can be used as "quick victories" for learning in the classroom. When it comes to school change, Wesley describes himself as a "catalyst for creative educational engagement," and that's exactly what he wants to share in this spotlight session!
Wesley plans to share "blended learning" strategies that offer educators the opportunity to address multiple curriculum needs through viable, engaging projects.
