The practical Ed Tech Creativity Conference starts this afternoon at 3 p.m. ET. There is still time to register here. Today’s presentations and times are listed below.
Easy ways to create your own apps
3:00 PM ET – Richard Byrne
Not long ago, creating a mobile app required extensive coding skills and programming knowledge. Today, there are many tools that enable teachers and students to develop their own functioning apps without any prior programming experience. Come to this presentation to learn how you and your students can develop simple apps for use on your phones or tablets.
3D printing solutions for global problems
4:00 PM ET – Jeremy Rinkel
With an emphasis and focus on the sustainability goals of the UN, students were challenged to make prototypes or products that would be useful to help communities and countries achieve the sustainability goals of the UN. Our first year of 3D printing has brought challenges, but we learn a lot through problem solving and design. I discuss our journey to 3D printing, the excitement of students learning about ‘real’ challenges and how 3D printing could play a role in solving these problems. Take ideas from our experience, make them your own and help our world save one 3D print at a time.
Coding + Drones = 100% involvement
5:00 PM ET – Karin Knapik-Cloutier
Create multidisciplinary projects that encode students and learn the 4 Cs of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. With the help of TELLO drones and free apps that run on IOS, Android and as a Chrome extension you can teach students to code at primary school through high school.
Yes, the presentations are recorded. The recordings will be available on my YouTube channel by the end of the week.
