Are They Even Working?

Presenter: Derek Postma

In this data driven session we will dive deep into Canvas analytics to gain a greater understanding of student work patterns and activity in your classroom. The insight gained from this session will give you insight into which students are actively working through course content, and which unfortunately, are not.

Explore Learning "Gizmos"

Presenter: Stacy DeWeerd

If you are looking for new ways to have students practice math standards, or are a science teacher running out of ideas to have students "do science" without materials available, Explore Learning is an excellent tool available for your students to use. Tasks and simulations are completely standards based, remote learning "ready", and come with answer documents and assessment questions that mirror MSTEP.

Write On! Making Interactive Notebooks for Any Subject

Presenter: Laura Blowers

Learn how to create an interactive notebook using master copy in Google Slides. Discover how to lock slides to prevent accidental changes, provide students with additional slides, add directions and media in slides, and import to Canvas. Bonus: Learn to link within slides in order to add additional slides to a slide deck for use. *If time allows.
