Chris Long, HBUHSD Educational Technologist, championed the Halloween themed professional development effort in his district by creating a super-charged, fun and entertaining environment to learn and collaborate with awesome educators. Christina Lee and I shared a quick presentation on Growing you PLN and hope we left teachers a little more inspired to reach out and use Google+ or Twitter. Here is the TechoWeen website he created for the event and my presentation is included below.
I really felt inspired by the whole event. I think the biggest thing that I learned was that people were eager to participate and share their own experiences, big and small ideas, to make everyone a little more empowered to make the changes they need or want to make to improve student learning in their classroom. Maybe better put is to help inspire students to love learning. Or even better yet, learn differently because these educators are passionate people.
I couldn't resist taking a few pictures throughout the day. So here they are for you to check out. OMG! The decorations were brilliant weren't they? Leah hopefully won for creating the best treats. Amazing works of art from a rat in a palm tree to a mummy with googly eyes. I think she said she found some ideas on Pinterest. Love that!
