1:15pm to 1:40pm- Teaching with Mobile Devices (Roovy)

There's no denying that students are attached to their mobile devices. Instead of taking them away from students, why not fight fire with fire and use those very same devices to engage your students with what you're trying to teach them?   Roovy is a brand new way to share files -- videos, presentations, handouts, podcasts, pictures and more -- with student's iPhones, iPads and Android devices. It's collaborative, instant, free and works anywhere. Let us show you how to engage students on their turf.

Our immediate past President, Dr. Cynthia Chandler served on the Expert Panel for the Higher Education report in 2014. With her expert perspective, she will report on the current trends in K-12 education and present emerging technologies for their potential impact on and use in teaching, learning, and creative inquiry within the environment of pre-college education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving educators, school administrators, and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning.
