This past year has been a whirlwind professionally. I delved into the world of #gamification, attended a plethora of conferences expanding connections and teaching ideas. As a teacher, I selfishly love to learn and sharing knowledge with others.
Below are the highlights of the conferences I presented and guest blog posts I wrote in 2015.
Get Your Game On guest blog post for ISTE Project ReimaginED.
Your Students Are Your Best Resource for Gamification guest blog post for Classcraft
Utilizing Interactive Notebooks to Support ELLs your Classroom a workshop for NYS TESOL Annual Conference
Unpacking Race in To Kill a Mockingbird a presentation for Critical Questions in Education Conference in Baltimore, MD.
Twitter in the K12 Classroom: A Collaborative Tool for Learning Webinar presented for ISTE
Attaining Common Core Reading & Writing Standards with Interactive Notebooks presentation for Long Island LILAC/NRC Conference
And lots more to look forward to in 2016: ISTE, ILA, NCTE and other awesome conferences, EdCamps, and professional development opportunities.
#ISTELitChat is going to be awesome in 2016 with new guest moderators. We meet the last Sunday of each month at 9 PM, just type in the hashtag #ISTELitChat in Twitter to join us.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2016 and look forward to learning, growing, and collaborating together.
