Re: Reminder - Regional Professional Development Sessions for Educators


I wanted to remind everyone there is still time to register for HS  
Regional Professional Development sessions.  The general session  
meetings are not an “etched in stone” agenda but will familiarize you  
with the basic use of web tools available on your new MacBook. The  
goals for the day will be to: 1. Practice using three universal  
literacy strategies and 2. Practice ways to develop content for  
lessons using NoteShare, iTunes, podcasting and Studywiz.


We have also designated three of these dates for Math Sessions (see  
dates below) which are being facilitated by Dr. Pam Buffington. The  
Math Sessions are designed to introduce secondary level educators to  
a range of online applets, tools, web-based resources, and exemplary  
projects that utilize content centered technology application to  
support mathematics teaching and learning. The primary focus will be  
on the use of the open source tool GeoGebra. This will include  
engagement specific to areas of known student misconception and error  
as informed by research. This is an interactive session that models  
strategies to support teachers and students in meeting national and  
state learning standards for school mathematics and ISTE technology  
literacy standards.


Please register for a session at: http://www.maine.gov/mlti/ 
educator/.  You can find a listing of dates below.  We’ve tried to  
provide you with more options by scheduling two locations per day.   
Please select only ONE meeting date/location to attend.

Thank you
Juanita
