This is how I would like you to add your note to the Padlet. Please include your name and what grade level you teach. On the note answer the questions above....and please feel free to add anything else you would like. This will be a great place for me to pull together our day and make it the best it can be.

I can't wait to see you all in a few days. I love Texas and I bet it is beautiful this time of year. <3

Thank you dearly, Shannon

I would like to learn about different technologies and about things that will add "WOW" to my lessons. I also like to know what digital platforms you would recommend to encourage students to share, post and publish.

I would like to learn 

*how to not to get frustrated and have patience when sharing technology with teachers (their embracing & using)

*about more authentic ways to connect like #GRA15 and authentic projects (PBL-ELM)

*develop a balanced library curriculum of tech and literature for elem

*how librarians can put forth a united front- Agents of Change

Glad you are coming looking forward to a great day of sharing.

I would like to learn how to engage teachers in embracing and using technology. Specifically using ipads in their classroom to create products rather than using them only to access an intervention app (istation).

Like Diana I would like to develop a balanced library curriculum that address the tech TEKs and literature TEKs for elementary.

Thanks! :) Marlen

I would like some recommendations on using Chrome books to teach library  skills and to boost literacy. Are there any particular apps that you have found to be especially handy? If so, which concepts do you use them for? 

I would LOVE to know ideas for incorporating technology into my preschool library program-beyond just playing apps on an iPad. :-)

I would like to learn how to get more students into the library in addition to my regular crowd. I want to extend the library's purposes beyond checking out books and Internet access.

Marketing to parents and administrators. Balancing the focus on technology with literature.

I would like to learn technology tools and ideas that will enhance, extend, and WOW lessons. (So much that teachers want to go back to the classroom and use it with their students.

Fifth and Sixth Grade

Interested in MakerSpace program ideas,  upping the engagement/ fun level of my lessons,  helping my teachers get excited about integrating technology into their lessons

I struggle with developing research projects at the high school level that integrate technology and help students develop critical thinking skills so they are prepared for college. I want to make my library presentations fun, interesting, and useful to students and teachers. How do I connect with my administration so they know what is happening in the library.  

Technology integrations,  WOW ideas, How to make the teachers/staff love the library as much as the students and myself do.

How to use technology more effectively in the time I have. How to get the teachers to "buy in" to using technology and ways to incorporate a maker space in my library when I only see students once a week. Looking forward to seeing you!

I would like to know how to keep all plates spinning at the same time...instilling a love of literature in students, while incorporating technology, and teaching/supporting teachers and staff members.

Ignore the other half post from me...I think Caroline had something to do with it! HA!!!

I would like to start a MakerSpace that keeps older kids involved.  So, new ideas there would be great! 

Ditto Janice.  :)
