In this practical session, we'll examine how we can save time and keep organized by using Forms to support specific stages of the instructional process and streamline classroom routines. We'll create (and share) SEL check-ins and class entrance slips, create surveys to check the class pulse re: perspectives, show how to monitor progress over time (Forms/Sheets), and create signup slips, quizzes, exit slips. Leave with ideas and even premade templates today that will help you save time tomorrow.

Whether in a face-to-face, online, or blended learning environment, you can design your learning space as one where every learner, with their “unique abilities, backgrounds and preferences” (inclusive365.com) can feel supported by your demonstration of an inclusive mindset. In this UDL-inspired presentation, we will explore some tried-and-true and some less familiar strategies and tools that can support all learners in demonstrating their learning successfully.
Leave this session with some new tools in your toolkit, some old tools revisited in their new renditions, and some great ideas to help you support all learners back at school and beyond.

In this Technology in Schools I Cohort Seminar Session, participants participate in a round-table conversation about cohort questions raised in the Digital Literacy and Inclusive Digital Practices sessions held in April and May.
This session, which is open to ALL interested teachers and others, provides teachers engaged in the ERLC/UofA’s 2023 EDU 595 cohort with an online venue to showcase edtech tools that have been especially valuable in their work with students and/or colleagues.
If you are not part of the cohort, you're invited to please come and join us to learn from the valuable wisdom of this year’s group. If this year’s presentation is like those of the past two years, know that this will be time well spent for all, a true celebration of the impact that effective integration of technology can have on student learning.

In this session, share stories and learn strategies that will help you and your students use QR codes seamlessly to streamline processes, such as distributing/sharing Docs, PDFs and Forms (why hand it out when they can just scan the code?), compiling interactive posters and even virtual field trips (remember Glogster, back in the day?), sharing book reviews (attached to library books themselves), providing metacognitive responses (talking through a process when creating a learning product - art product, solving a math problem, writing an essay, etc.), and more.
Come ready to learn and to share innovative ways you and your colleagues have leveraged QR codes yourselves recently!
