 Megan EllisBehind the Curtain - Running a "Paperlite" ClassroomThis session will take you "behind the scenes" of a typical assignment cycle in my "paperlite" classroom. See how to manage prewriting through publication with 100+ students all from the cloud. If you have struggled with students sharing untitled documents with you, been frustrated by receiving hundreds of emails with sharing notifications, or just want to streamline your own classroom practice, we will look at tips, tricks, and scripts that will simplify your workload and give you more time to play in the mountains. 

 Melissa HeroCitizen Science with Mobile DevicesScience doesn’t always take place in a lab (or classroom). With the help of mobile devices, we can take students outdoors to participate in real world science and data collection. Citizen Science is a growing movement where “citizens” can participate in research that is relevant locally and globally. Many of these projects allow our students to collaborate with scientists. In this session, you will learn how citizen science can inspire students to get involved in global investigations. We will explore iNaturalist, Project Noah, and others, in the classroom and “in the field”.

You will need a laptop to set up accounts, and a mobile device "in the field".

 Sean O'NeilAppademics: Build Mobile Apps Without Coding!We have students demonstrate their levels of proficiency in many ways: tests, presentations, papers, and performances are just a few. Why aren’t we having them do the same with mobile apps? By the end of this session, participants will be able to create mobile applications on a topic of their choice that will act as a “portfolio” as well as bring the information they are usually “Googling” for all to one place: their phone. Participants will be able to model this lesson at their site so their students will be producing apps in addition to all other forms of assessment.
