Seeing is Believing with Virtual Reality
Want to take your students to places they have never been? Do you have students who need to see something to truly understand what you are talking about? Virtual Reality (VR) is the answer. VR allows students to experience the world around them and feel like they are actually there. VR gives your students a constructivist-based approach to learning that allows them to be engaged and explore for themselves. VR takes education to the next level.

How Google Works: Are Search Engines Really Dumb and Should Educators Care?
Google is the most popular search engine in the world; it processes a billion searches per day, many from students worldwide. When these students are asked how they do research, their first response is likely to be, “I Google the topic. Many on the students have only used Google for research; for them, Research = Googling.” While students perceive themselves as skilled searchers of Google their search queries and research behaviors do not support their assertion. They are not sophisticated users of Google, let alone library resources.
Google’s own research confirms students’ Google illiteracy. Google’s research support of U.C. Berkeley’s “Report on the UC Berkeley Library” found that students overused Google and misused scholarly databases. Further the study concluded, “Indeed, they’re not even very good at using Google for research purposes. Students are unable to take advantage of the resources that are readily available to those who know how to find them.”
The hands-on presentation will demonstrate how Google works, how it determines the ranking of the results to a search query. With this knowledge students will be able to take advantage of Google’s search features and construct better search queries, find better information, and develop Google literacy.

Would you like an easy to use digital portfolio for your students? Seesaw is a great and simple way to have students add their work to a digital portfolio. It's simple enough that students can add the their work themselves. You can even connect parents and use it to send out class information, pictures, and newsletters. My favorite part is that students can easily add a recording so they can explain their thinking or read their writing to an authentic audience.

Attendees will have a hands-on experience with the student side of Seesaw and they will see the teacher side and learn how to set up a class. They will take away ideas for using it in the classroom, as well as a digital folder of resources.

James Madison University ISTE-T Certification, an ISTE Mastery Level Seal of Alignment Program, engages teachers in a deeply reflective process to align their instructional technology practices to the teacher standards set forth by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). This opportunity is for self-directed learners who are confident in their use of technology. Participants in the program develop their skills to become technology leaders at the school and district levels.
This session will provide an opportunity to explain the overall scope of the program and its benefits to teachers and administrators. It will include a hands-on activity emphasizing the use of the Student Standards. Interested parties will leave with the following information:
• Participant options.
• Program length.
• The program formats.
• Cost and graduate credit.
• Educational technology use requirements.
• Coaching and feedback.
• A successful completion of the program and what is means for the participant.

The JMU ISTE-T Certification program has been in existence since 2002. In 2008 the change to the new Teacher Standards took place. Prior to 2012, the program was a Virginia school district face-to-face experience. In 2012, the program utilized a distance learning approach and extended its opportunity nationally and internationally.
