February 29: Teaching K-4 with Technology

In the midst of mandated curriculum and daunting accountability, creativity and innovation are still making their way into the classroom! Come see how technology has changed the way we connect, communicate and collaborate within the confines of a demanding day. Experience a sampling of technology ideas ranging from functional to fantastic; inspirational to invisible… When focused on students, the rest falls into place naturally.

Confirmed Presenter: Suzy Brooks has been a teacher in Falmouth, Massachusetts since receiving her graduate degree from Lesley University in 1999. Her uniqueness as a 3rd grade teacher lies in that which inspires her: computers, connections, and community service. A licensed Instructional Technology Specialist and a Girl Scout for 35 years, Suzy strives to make strong, positive connections with her students, their families, and her colleagues. It is through these relationships that she has found the encouragement to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for all things technical. Over the past few years, Suzy has been invited to present at MASSCUE conferences and symposiums, EdTechTeacher's Summer Workshop Series, Cache the Wave Summer programming, and dozens of workshops within her district. Workshop participants leave her sessions with a sharp focus on students and an inspired attitude towards technology.
