Rock Star Napa Day 2


 Presenter Session Title Description
 Nicole DalesioMobile Photography for the Common Core Mobile photography has had a profound impact on our culture. Its’ impact also extends to both teaching and learning. So, it’s no wonder, why this new art form has quickly become such a popular means of creative expression. Not only is it easy for just about anyone to be a creator of photographic, visual storytelling, and artistic content, but beginning in 3rd grade, Common Core standards require students to add visual media to enhance their multi-media presentations. We’ll cover how to use this powerful device in the classroom while exploring cross curricular applications.

 Kathleen Diver Beam Me Up Scotty and BYODStudents can learn to use electronic devices like the Star Trek characters to communicate, create video projects, record scientific data and research information related to the activities in the modern day classroom. The Common Core directs us to encourage students to develop problem solving skills. They can use technology and media literacy when using their own devices when they find work-arounds to complete assigned tasks. Learn to leverage student owned hand held devices within your learning environment. BYOD can be a powerful alternative to district sponsored devices. ENGAGE!
