GAME ON: GAMIFICATION WITH BREAKOUTEDU - Help your students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork with this hands-on, ultra-immersive learning game platform. The BreakoutEDU kits contain boxes, locks, clues, and more to facilitate active learning at any grade level or content area.

BEST STEM MAKER KITS HANDS-ON - Do you want your teachers to experience first-hand some of the best “STEM/Maker” kits? We’ve purchased the best kits so you can experience them in a guided station rotation model. We will provide essential information, including target grade, skills, and cost for each kit.

10:45 - 11:45


SELF-ORGANIZED LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS (SOLE) - During a SOLE session, teachers pose an essential question and then step aside! Students collaboratively research and then share their findings. The process helps uncover high-interest avenues that may have been overlooked, allows for a quick formative assessment, increases collaboration, and emphasizes student-led learning.

CYBERCRIME ME NOT! - Welcome to the 21st Century, where criminals are using technology to compromise our schools, personal identities, data, and wallets! Join us for an informative session designed to help you avoid being the victim of cybercrime. We will breakdown and explain how criminals trick their victims into inadvertently falling to their prey. Learn how to be safe online at school and at home.

11:45 LUNCH & LEARN - Best Practices for your STEM Classroom or Makerspace

1:00 - 2:00


FLIP IT QUICK - Get started in no time flipping your classroom! Learn about flipped classroom models and create your own classroom videos with easy-to-use video recording applications. Take your Flip up a notch with YouTube playlists, EdPuzzle, and other great publishing tools.

WHAT’S NEW IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM & G SUITE FOR 2020 - Google is constantly innovating as they add new products and update existing products. Let us share the latest game-changing updates that will impact your teachers as they use G Suite for Education.
