FETC 2018

Eighteen for 2018: Tools and Trends to Inspire and Motivate (Room North 320FG)

25 Jan 18
12:00 PM - 12:40 PM

Tracks: Future of EdTech Educator

This fast-paced session has been completely updated from last year's FETC "Tools and Trends". It will appeal to your geeky side while delighting the teacher in you. It will include apps, gadgets, wearable tech, web sites, and other resources. This year's session will highlight virtual and augmented reality apps, particularly those that are highly interactive and enhance a lesson in ways other technologies can't. You'll see teacher-tested classroom uses of coding, affordable robots, and drones, and how they are being incorporated into makerspaces. You'll learn about free and powerful apps and resources in all subject areas and grade levels and hear about technologies that do not yet exist at the time of this proposal. The term "Electronic Constructivism" was coined by this presenter who will stress what really matters: Good Teaching. No experience with these technologies is necessary, but an open mind and a sense of adventure is highly suggested!
