Day 3 - DENSI2015

Today was our first day of breakout sessions.
I focused on green screening with DoInk! +Dave Tchozewski  is a talented presenter, but the knowledge is the room :).  For more information on the application of green screening in the classroom and a super easy app to use, click here.






Using the DoInk! app, Lisa, Sandy, Marianna and myself created this three leveled video -- check it out.

+Jannita Demian   presented the updates coming to the SOS Strategies from Discovery Education!  Teachers requested and the DEN provided!  They make us our best selves if only we will let them!  For more information on SOS and video examples on how to use them in YOUR classroom - click here.

My last session was presented by the DENmazing Dennis Grice (follow him, find him, learn from him).  Dennis presented six ways to show your learning without traditional formative assessments but more effective strategies.  Check out the app for YAKiT  to make any photo talk as just one of the ways students can come out of their shells and let alter egos do the talking for them!







AND THEN .... This happened!

The Feelin' Groovy DENmazing Race Team had a BLAST completing ten stations that required us to work together and encouraged us to work quickly.  All along the way we learned how to use new apps, skill building tasks, science properties, and each others individual talents to be successful!  

A special thank you to Sonja Fehlmann for a DENmazing job on our team shirts!  You rock!  Proceeds to benefit the Purple Feet Foundation!

I encourage you to get to know this foundation and their purpose - and then I encourage you to support them.
