We had a fun final session of TLP-C the other week. We were lucky enough to have Dr. Elizabeth Hoover, Chief Technology Officer for ACPS, with us. She gave us a “state of technology” update. We are excited about the expansion of using tablets in the elementary schools as well as more robust infrastructure to support web based learning activities. If you missed our final session, you can listen to the recording here:

Also with us at the Round Up was Yuan Gao who shared a fun online review style game called Kahoot! We had fun trying to play as a group. We then chatted about powerful uses for QR codes in the classroom. Thank you everyone who jumped in and shared their ideas. Caroline Doughty shared a fabulous app called Green Screen by DoInk. We loved hearing her ideas about how her 2nd graders proposed businesses for her economics unit with cool backgrounds. Sandi Slaven then told us about great simulations and online labs using Gizmos by Exlore Learning. Kyle Dunbar also reminded us about the Global Read Aloud which happens every October with classrooms around the world reading the same books at the same time.

Thank you everyone who joined us over the year whether it was for ever session or you just dropped in when you could. A special thanks to all our presenters, you keep us inspired and moving forward. Look for information about signing up for TLP-C 2015-2016 on this blog and in your email.
