11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate
Join us on November 14th when we will be hosting an "Open Mic" show on the topic of “Productivity Tools for Teachers." We are using an "Open Mic" format for this show and hope you will be as excited about it as we are. Our Classroom 2.0 Advisory Team member extraordinaire, Paula Naugle, suggested this concept as a way to provide even more interaction and participation in the live show. For this show only there will not be a guest presenter, but we are inviting all of you to join us and take the mic to engage in a conversation or share in the chat about your favorite productivity tools as a teacher. This will be similar to an EdCamp format where everyone comes together to explore and discuss a topic but it is being done virtually rather than face-to-face. If you’re not sure what might be considered a productivity tool, the possibilities are endless! Take a look at this amazing list of possibilities and come and share how you’re using one or several of them. https://globaldigitalcitizen.org/321-free-tools-for-teachers-free-educational-technology
Come with your ideas, resources, and questions and together we will learn about why productivity tools are helpful both in the classroom and for teacher planning and lesson preparation, what it might look like in classrooms for students of all ages (K-12 to Adult), how these tools are being used to help teachers organize and use their teaching tools to provide authentic, engaging learning experiences. Paula will facilitate the conversation and we hope you'll come prepared to share something with your headset/earbuds on to take the mic and add to the conversation. We'll have an awesome Livebinder prepared with teacher productivity resources and will look forward to adding your resources to the Livebinder. Invite your colleagues to join us in the conversation and we'll all learn together.

There were so many great ideas and resources shared by participants during this Open Mic show that I decided to create a Google Doc to make it easier to access in the Livebinder. Huge thanks to everyone who shared! Peggy George
