Camp Plug & Play 7.0 offers a world-class professional development experience where participants dive into one of six topics for the week. Each strand is taught by knowledgeable and patient trainers who have a strong passion for empowering teachers and students with technology.
Registration includes your own room Monday until Friday and delicious breakfasts and lunches. Most importantly, you receive practical instruction and lots of hands-on time so that you leave with new knowledge, skills, and confidence to use what you’ve learned in your classroom.
The week kicks off with an inspirational keynote presentation by Wesley Fryer, author of Playing with Media. After the keynote, participants meet in their learning strands where they will spend the rest of the week learning and creating. In addition to direct instruction and work time, Camp Plug & Play offers evening breakout sessions about popular topics.
Another evening session is Ignite Night. Campers are invited to make five-minute presentations consisting of exactly 20 slides which are shown on the screen for exactly 15 seconds each.
To make sure the technology works smoothly, the Arizona K12 Center provides a MacBook for each participant to use during the day. Although you might not be a Macintosh user, what you learn at camp will certainly be applicable to computers running Windows.
Please watch for an email from the Arizona K12 Center in the weeks leading up to Camp Plug & Play for information about the camp's online social network, your learning strand, Ignite Night, and breakout sessions.
Camp Plug & Play is a great way to spend some of your summer! This is your opportunity to join a group of Arizona educators who, like you, are passionate about engaging today's students in their learning.
Mobilize Your Classroom
Engage today's students with the hottest technology around: iPad and iPod touch. Explore how to integrate these powerful devices, whether you have one or one-hundred to use in your classroom. Besides learning basic operation and care, experience apps and activities designed to improve student achievement. Participants will get loads of hands-on time and see mobile learning in action from a student's point-of-view. Examples include flashcards, movie-making, mind mapping, and creative expression.
Be sure you know your device's iTunes password for the App Store. If you can't bring your own iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone, we'll have one for you to use.
In Mobilize Your Classroom, you will:
* Learn how to integrate mobile devices such as the iPad and iPod touch
* Discover appropriate apps to utilize within your curriculum and standards
* Connect technology standards with student learning objectives
* Be inspired to give students a choice of apps to create cartoons, comics, storyboards and animations to enrich project-based learning
* Enhance your skills to produce better projects, infusing slide shows, audio and video
