Creative+Collaboration+with+iPads

//** Creative Collaboration with iPads **//
=== presented by Melissa Scott, Senior Collaborator and Lower School Technology Integrator at Flint Hill School, Oakton, VA ===

Building a classroom culture that fosters creativity, collaboration, and encourages students to take the lead in their learning can be a challenge. The iPad is a tool that helps teachers create the safe space where students can learn to take risks and fail gracefully, and eventually find success in ways that fire their imaginations. In this session, be prepared to drive your own learning as we explore the process of Guided Discovery of apps and discover creative uses to explore both teacher and student learning. We will discover and discuss opportunities for student and teacher collaboration using iPads. Come learn about and explore teacher tools that make it possible to build digital student portfolios and to easily share files between colleagues. Be prepared to connect, communicate, collaborate, and create!

Participants will be able to:
 * Lead a lesson using guided discovery
 * Create lessons that encourage collaboration among students, and let students be drivers of their own learning
 * Learn ways students and teachers can create and author using iPads
 * Gather techniques for teacher productivity and record-keeping, and digital portfolios in which students curate their own best work
