Medfield's 2016 Digital Learning Day

What? You're Not On Twitter? Twitter has become a terrific resource for educators.  Come and learn the benefits of this social media tool and create your own Professional Learning Network (PLN).  We'll sign you up for an account and get you off and running.

In the world of social media, Facebook is "old news". Most of our students are now on Instagram. Instagram is a fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. It's all about staying connected through photos. You can take a picture with your mobile phone, then choose from various filters to transform the image into a photographic masterpiece. This session will review the basics of Instagram, set up accounts, learn privacy settings, and explore ways to monitor student's use of Instagram.

Session Description - During this interactive share-a-thon, different Google and Web 2.0 tools, tips, tricks and ideas will be shared that will help make your job even easier in the classroom. These ideas range from day to day routines, to creating portfolios, to growing and learning from a personal learning network (PLN). Participants will also have an opportunity to share their own ideas that they have found helpful in their own classroom. Let’s be efficient together!
