How to Present Like a Rock Star

Think about this: How does an Apple Distinguished Educator or a Google Certified Teacher get to be that qualified?

This session will be a "mini-camp" from the creator of the CUE Rock Star Camps - point of entry for almost 30 Google Certified Teachers and more than 10 ADEs over the last 4 years.

Learn how to: present better (more than just slides), get invited to present more, how to market yourself and get your ideas out. Attendees will make a "bio" that allows them to put this all into action and connect with all those Rock Star Teachers as a peer, not just an attendee.

See examples from one seventh grade class, learn the process, and begin creating your own example to share with your students. Be inspired by the possibilities and abilities our students have to change the world.

Video allows us to bring the real world into our classrooms, and let us wrestle with tangible math and science curiosities from the real world. This is a hands on session that reinforces the Common Core Math Practice Standards as well as the Next Generation Science Standards' Conceptual Shifts. Bring your mobile device, your curiosity, and be prepared to shoot some video!
