ASCD Conference Afterthoughts

ascdlogoThe ASCD annual conference has come and gone, and the Digital Language Arts team was proud to have connected with so many educators in our two presentations. It was inspiring to hear comments from so many people that are attempting to redefine their schools as places of exploration, innovation, and meaningful learning. We were also happy to engage in discussions concerning reading and writing instruction with educators from South America and Europe. There are innovative approaches to technology integration occurring all over the world, and yet we all share a common theme – engage students with relevant and authentic experiences and they’ll give you their all. Lastly, our very own team member, Nicole Sneddon, was recognized as one of ASCD’s Outstanding Young Educator honorees.

ASCD Annual Conference

ascdlogoThe Digital Language Arts team will be presenting at the upcoming ASCD annual conference in Orlando, Florida, and we greatly look forward to connecting with so many educators from around the country. On Saturday, March 14th we will present 21st Century School Transformation: An Approach for Leaders from 4pm to 5pm. We will offer a mix of theory, discussion, and personal stories from our own public school experiences in an attempt to engage the audience with notions of meaningful school transformations. This session will be audio-recorded to be made available after the conference. And on Monday, March 16th we will present Digital Language Arts: A 21st Century Approach to Instruction from 12:30pm to 1:30pm. In this session we will offer a practical guide to the meaningful integration of technology into the teaching of reading and writing at the upper elementary level (or middle or high, too!) This will be a ticketed session.
