April Showers Bring... Conferences and Presentations!

Some of my recent mid-April activities...

Graphite is a platform designed by the wonderful people at Common Sense Media specifically for educators to find the best technology tools to use in their classrooms and schools. I am a Graphite Certified Educator, meaning that I contribute content to the site including app and website reviews, lesson flows, and blog posts. Today my blog post Hands-On Learning Goes High-Tech was published. The post highlights the school I work at, Harpeth Hall, and how our girls engage, expand, and explore using design thinking and our new Design Den maker space.

This past weekend I presented at the second Southern Regional Conference through the Tennessee chapter of the International Dyslexia Association. The presentation topic was Technology Tools for Strategy-Based Reading Instruction in grades 5-12. I presented with the rock star technology integration specialist at Currey Ingram Academy, Ashley Kemper.

I am currently working on my presentation for the Tennessee Association of Independent Schools Tech Institute on 3D Printing Made Easy - will post once the presentation is complete. I am still reading The Boys in the Boat, but hope to finish that soon and get back to book blogging. Main purpose of this post was to show that yes, I am still here and no, I have not shut down my blog just yet!
