Quizizz: Making an Assessment Easy Peasy
Thursday August 15, 2024 9:00am - 9:45am EDT
Room 601
Did you forget to make the Quiz for today's class? How about the assignment for your 4th period class? Are you struggling to come up with questions for that Geometry unit? How about a quick review game for your students? Quizizz can make all of these easy and quick. This session will provide information on how to use Quizizz to not only make the teacher's life easier, but will be more engaging for the students. We will show participants how to make an assessment from scratch, use the premade assessment, or mix and match. Participants can even turn their old Google Docs, Forms, and Slides into lessons or assessments. Quizizz even has the ability to use AI to make a differentiated assessment.

Let Google Sheets Do The Checking For You - A Guide to Creating Check Your Understandings
Thursday August 15, 2024 9:00am - 9:45am EDT
Room 615
Google Sheets is a great resource to use to quickly check for student understanding of a topic. Using conditional formatting provides the students with immediate feedback on whether or not their answer to the question is correct. This is a great formative assessment for teachers to use to gauge comprehension in any subject area. For this session, we will focus on creating a basic check your understanding template to be used, but this concept can also be used to create more in depth Pixel Puzzle activities.

Room 602
Choose it Maker presentation: This system allows our complex EC students access to curriculum through a multi-model electronic choice board that can be tailored to everyday learning throughout the school day. Customized boards can be created to individualize learning needs and check understanding. This system is easy to learn and implement. It is online so it can be accessed easily throughout the school on any device. The program allows the choice boards to be quickly shared to the students iPads/devices and can be utilized via touch screen, EyeGaze, switch, mouse, and scanning. It also provides excellent data for progress monitoring.

AT Learning Lab presentation: Assistive Technology (AT) is a comprehensive term that covers any support that allows students with extra needs the ability to complete activities independently. From complex kids to students that need programs to type out math work, AT allows students a level of independence that empowers them. The idea behind having a learning lab with all types of AT set up would allow for teachers/staff to use all the tools themselves and see the benefits for our students. Participants in the conference will be given the opportunity to explore tools and experience as the students would experience the tools. The group will work through scenarios to better understand the AT's positive impact on the students.

Me? A Rock Star? Navigating Amplification and Assistive Listening Devices
Thursday August 15, 2024 10:00am - 10:45am EDT
Room 603
Hearing loss is invisible. Many times teachers and even parents will say “they can hear me”-They are just fine (meaning they are not a behavior problem). ”They do everything I ask them to do”, “they can repeat what I say to them” Other times "they just don’t want to do…” or “they are lazy", "non motivated” or “bad attitude.” Someone observing a student with hearing loss may believe that he or she has an attention or behavior problem, or a learning disability. ANY hearing loss is considered educationally significant! Learn how we can help you understand how D/HH kids use their amplification, why it is so important for them to wear their device(s) all waking hours and how to pair devices to bluetooth, and or remote microphones.

Google My Maps is an excellent tool that can be utilized across different content areas. In this training session, you will discover how to engage your students with My Maps by having them plot points such as book settings, volcano locations, battle and war cities, and college tour plans. Start the school year with My Maps by having your students plot places they visited during the summer. The versatility of this tool opens up endless possibilities for its application with students. Students can participate in research activities and subsequently organize and present their findings through the interactive platform offered by Google My Maps.

I did DIR (Daily Independent Reading 7 years as an English teacher) and felt it improved student reading, speaking, and overall literacy skills. I would love to share what that looked like in my classroom (the entire English department did it at my last school) and how to assess that and the materials that I used. I could also share how we did literary circles, writing workshops, and other various projects to promote literacy with materials teachers could walk away with.

Engage, Enrich, and Excite your students by being creative in Canva!
Thursday August 15, 2024 11:00am - 11:45am EDT
Room 602
I use Canva in my classroom for almost every content area. It is a great platform that helps you to develop and create engaging and interactive lessons. Especially in special education classes it can be hard to get students engaged and excited in what they are learning. Canva has so many different options for presentations, worksheets, interactive activities, and more that are very easily incorporated into our research based intervention programs. I would love the opportunity to teach others how to create their own presentations and activities as well as develop a group of educators to share resources with throughout the county. While most of my lessons are based off our specially designed instruction programs, I work with and help my peers at school create programs and presentation to use in the regular education classroom all the time! Creating digital content is one of my favorite things to do and help other do.

Since Jamboard will no longer be available October 1, this presentation is for individuals who wish to replace it with FigJam. At the beginning, I plan to give participants a chance to setup their FigJam accounts and to import their boards to FigJam. Then, I will demo some of the basics of the software which include using the tools and the templates. Demos will include how teachers can create sessions that increase student engagement and assess learning as well as how students can use it to design their own visuals and collaborate. This session will have a "try it out" and "experiment" focus.

The Destination Imagination global community is united by a core belief that when students have the freedom to grow and collaborate without boundaries, their confidence explodes and the world opens up to them in new ways. We enable this transformation by providing challenges rooted in STEAM subjects that inspire unique solutions through the use of the creative process. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to tell their story, share their unique creations and be celebrated for what they’ve accomplished. Through witnessing this process of creative self-expression and validation, students blossom into more confident and knowledgeable individuals.
In this session, we would like to entice you to join the DI community and to learn the tips and tricks of how to create a successful DI team in your school, community, and district. Still not sold, come and experience a DI challenge and see what the creative magic is all about. There will be an opportunity to win a free NCDI membership for the 2024-2025 season!
