We organized an agenda for the day consisting of classroom visitations, student and teacher panels, and short talks on professional development and policies related to our 1:1 iPad deployment. Everyone who spoke was AMAZING. We're looking forward to our future visits.
It's not too late to register for the upcoming visits on April 5th and May 3rd. The March visit is full. The agenda is posted below.
Manitou Springs School District
Digital Learning Environments to Engage Today’s Students
“The twenty-first century is dictating that educators develop new paradigms regarding instruction. Students are utilizing new technologies to learn, to communicate, to develop relationships - school systems must become agile, flexible, and ‘smart’ to reach the modern day learner. Our school system is addressing the needs of the ‘whole, new child.’ Included in this plan is the effective use of technology. We must work to redefine classroom instruction, and empower teachers to develop instructional techniques that are not limited to the traditional classroom, and will most definitely energize and engage the twenty-first-century learner.”
Ed Longfield, Superintendent
