2/4/2017

Date:Saturday February 4, 2017
Time:9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

We are excited to welcome Dr. Monica Burns, an amazing, creative, inspiring educator as our special guest presenter on Classroom 2.0 LIVE on February 4, 2017. As educators we know the importance of using formative assessment in our classes during the learning process. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Formative assessments help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work, and they help teachers recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately. Monica will share some of her favorite tips about how we can use technology to support formative assessment to improve the learning process.

Webinar Description
Collecting meaningful formative assessment data and putting this information into action is a challenge for teachers at every grade level. Technology tools can make the collection and organization of formative assessment data more efficient. #FormativeTech can save instructional time, and help teachers organize data so strategic interventions can reach students in need. Join Dr. Monica Burns as she shares her favorite tips for using technology tools to check for understanding.

Dr. Monica Burns is an EdTech Consultant and Author, Apple Distinguished Educator and Founder of ClassTechTips.com. Monica has presented to teachers, administrators and tech enthusiasts at numerous national and international conferences including SXSWedu, ISTE, and EduTECH. She is a webinar host for SimpleK12 and a regular contributor to Edutopia. Monica is the author of Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality: A Scannable Solution for Your Classroom (Corwin Press, 2016) and #FormativeTech: Meaningful, Sustainable, and Scannable Formative Assessment with Technology (Corwin Press, 2017). Monica visits school across the country to work with PreK-12 teachers to make technology integration exciting and accessible.

We are thrilled to welcome Valerie Burton back on Classroom 2.0 LIVE to share some of her valuable tips and tools for student responses to reading that help teachers assess their learning.
Webinar description:
They've been reading closely... now what?
We have given them the tools to be able to annotate, decode vocabulary and analyze the text on a variety of levels. Now it's time to allow them to show what they know. Assessment can be so much more than bubbling in an answer document. This session will explore some of the many different ways that students can create products that allow us to assess the knowledge gained.
Have them create and produce:

Memes with the same overall message of nonfictional text.
NoteCard Confession video that explores the overall theme of a fictional text.
WordArt that highlights the character's motivating actions
Paperslide videos that retell a nonfictional text
Blackout Poems that remix the text and examine language used
Six word memoirs or 4x4 responses
ePortfolios (website, blogs, Padlet, Smore, etc.) to display artifacts and essays

There is no limitation to what they can create and we should embrace that.

Valerie is an English I teacher from West Jefferson High School, New Orleans, Louisiana. She is also the Department Head and winner of the May, 2009 Exemplary 21st teaching and learning contest! A contest sponsored by Jefferson Parish’s Technology Department
Her philosophy is to provide an inquiry-based atmosphere in her classroom. In her English I class she uses project based learning and technology to make learning enjoyable for all. Because her students have a variety of strengths, weakness and learning styles, she designs each lesson so that it is diversified enough so that all students are able to succeed. There are three elements that she believes are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) the teacher acting as a guide, (2) allowing the child’s natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all people.
