Weekly Resources to kick off December!

Welcome to December! We took last week off for Thanksgiving, but have lots of resources this week – as well as a few announcements.

BIG News from EdTechTeacher

Welcome Douglas Kiang!

We are thrilled to add Douglas Kiang as the newest member of our instructional team. In many ways, Douglas has worked with us for several years as an instructor at the iPad Summits and Summer Workshops. However, he is now officially joining us from Oahu! Douglas currently works at Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he teaches computer science, provides technology professional development to faculty, and is co-director of the Lab School@Punahou – an intensive two-week cohort-based professional development experience for teachers from all over the world. He will be leading a number of workshops in the coming months, and we are thrilled to have him on board in a more official capacity.

Leading Future Learning 2014 Call for Proposals OPEN

The Call for Proposals is open through December 18th! We invite educators to submit 1-hour session proposals on topics that will shape our classrooms of the future. Topics should explore connections between the skill sets and content that our students need to develop in order to thrive in their future as well as the range of technological advancements that will change the face of classrooms for years to come. Submit your ideas soon!

We received almost 200 proposals for iPad Summit San Diego! A list of session titles and descriptions will be posted as soon as speakers confirm. We expect this to be another SOLD OUT event, so please register soon! Early Bird Registration closes January 3rd.
