Title: Going Digital and Getting Results
Topic: Integrating technology with purpose using innovative design methodologies.
Weston Kieschnick Senior Fellow, International Center for Leadership in Education
Participants will experience from a learner’s perspective how some of the most talented teachers from around the country are integrating technology with purpose using innovative design methodologies to create with efficiency. In doing so, attendees will walk away with exemplars and participate in a process designed to create lessons that account for Content Standards, Digital Tools & Blended Learning Models, Best Practice, Assessment, Student/Teacher Relationships, SAMR, and PBL.
During this session participants will be able to learn all the ways in which Amazon Education is helping to partner with school districts and individual schools as they increase their investments in technology. With the focus shifting from hardware to more interest in content (what is on those devices), Amazon is poised to provide even greater value to teachers and students by merging the best of both worlds. Built upon Carol Dweck’s “Growth Mindset”, TenMarks, an Amazon Education Company, is a comprehensive mathematics solution designed to support engagement, instruction, reinforcement, and personalized learning.

Title: The Tools, Resources and Conditions Necessary for Personalized Learning To Occur
Robert Elwell Director of Learning Solutions itslearning, inc.
In this session we will identify, explore and demonstrate the necessary elements to establish, deliver and maintain personalized learning for students and staff within a teaching and learning organization. The focus of this session will be on the elements and conditions necessary for personalized learning to occur, how OER can play a pivotal role in effective and targetted personalized learning for students and staff, what to look for in OER providers and tools to evaluate this content, and the roles that digital tools and learning management play in delivering personalized learning across all disciplines. At the end of this session, participants will have increased knowledge, resources, and tools to enhance existing personalized learning programs and/or be better prepared to begin the journey towards personalized learning for students and staff. Each participant will receive models, best practices, and useful resources to share and distribute to colleagues within their organization.

Title: How did they do it: Case Studies of Managing Digital Curriculum in a Learning Platform
Lisa Dubernard Director of Education Strategy
In this session we will look briefly at four case studies of districts who have decided to use a learning platform to consolidate, align, organize and communicate curriculum using a learning platform. The featured cases will include Houston ISD (TX), Bartholomew Consolidated School District (IN), Harford County Schools (CT) and Forsyth County Schools (GA). Some of their challenges included designing curriculum and lessons using the principles of Universal Design for Learning, facilitating high adoption of blended learning techniques by all teachers and students in a BYOD model, consolidating content from a wide variety of publishers into a single library, ensuring learning activities are student centered. At the end of this session you will understand how districts addressed these specific challenges and discover how these might apply to your own district’s vision for learning. Each participant will be given access to the Curriculum Management Playbook with further details.
