Bringing home ISTE2016

Denver was a blast. And this time around, I had four fabulous colleagues from St. Mary's Academy attending ISTE2016 with me. Between the five of us, we represented a wide range of content areas, experience levels, and tech-comfort, and as we discussed the highly positive learning that all of us were experiencing at the conference, a question arose.

How can we bring this amazing work home?

A daunting prospect, to say the least. We all knew it would be next to impossible to remember and/or summarize everything we learned over the five intensive days of Denver sun and fun.

So instead of trying to bring it all back, we decided to each create an artifact of some kind that answers four questions. And during our inservice week, we will engage in a speed-geeking activity where the five of us, plus two other colleagues who attended MasteryCon with me this month, will share our artifacts and offer a few inspirational highlights about what we learned.
  • What is one thing you learned that expanded your horizons?
  • What is one instructional strategy you discovered that you can't wait to try in your own practice?
  • What is one technology tool that you plan to try in your class? Why?
  • What is one challenging question you were faced with that made you reconsider your own understanding of learning and teaching?

My artifact is still in progress since I'm attempting to make it a bit more organic and visual, but here's a sneak peak at what I've got so far. Enjoy!
