Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar "Becoming a Connected Educator" with special guest presenter, Craig Yen, November 5, 2016. Are you a teacher or administrator who has been reluctant to try using social media tools such as Twitter to connect with other educators? Have you wanted to expand your professional learning network but just didn't know how? Often it's because you haven't seen how it can help you and you don't feel you have the time to learn with all of the many demands on your time. You aren't alone. I guarantee that you won't want to miss this webinar with our special guest, Craig Yen. Craig is a 5th grade teacher who teaches at Valle Verde Elementary in Berkeley, California. He is a fan of all things Edtech and enjoys learning from others and sharing this learning widely. No matter where you go on the internet or even f2f you will find him participating and sharing constantly with others, whether it is in EdCamps, webinars, Google Hangouts, Twitter chats, #coffeeEDUs, Mystery Skype calls, or at conferences such as CUE, ISTE and #notatiste. He is someone who is an awesome example of a teacher who has navigated this maze and has learned tools, tips and tricks to manage it with great success! Within this session, you will learn what it means to be a connected educator. Tips will be given on how to manage your Twitter stream and how and where to find people to connect with. He'll also share examples of projects that will demonstrate how you can connect yourself and your students outside the classroom walls. http://yen4teaching.blogspot.com/ (Craig Yen’s blog) Connect with him on Twitter @craigyen
För Sara Bruun och hennes elever betyder bloggen struktur och navet i undervisningen. Eleverna kan i förväg gå in i bloggen och hitta sina planeringar och annat som de behöver träna på. Det har nu blivit en vana för eleverna att kika där. Även vid tillfälliga vikarier har både Sara och vikarien nytta av detta sätt att planera undervisningen. Sara berättar också om hur de jobbar med "Skype in The Classroom" och "Mystery Skype" i klassrummet och när det kan vara bra att använda avatarer i undervisningen med exempelvis "Toontastic" som digitalt verktyg. Sara Bruun är förstelärare i engelska, tyska och IKT för årskurs 6–9. Ämnesspanare för Lärarnas Riksförbund 2015-2018. Maria Bohlin, Lärarnas Riksförbund, leder samtalet.
