Digital Storytelling on the Web
Salon B
Mary DePriest
This session will explore the use of technology resources to encourage and promote creativity and collaboration in digital storytelling. Free digital tools that can be accessed on any web-enabled device can provide excitement and engagement for student writing.

Classroom Management for Digital Natives
Salon C
Josh Ratliff
Today, our classrooms are filled with technology. Not only are there a bunch of school-issued devices available to us as teachers, but there are a large number of student-owned devices in the mix as well. How does the emergence of technology-saturated classrooms change the way we think about classroom management? We’ll explore this idea and more in this session. Oh… And we’ll be having a lot of fun too! The WVDE has a new program called Robo-to-Go and we’ll be using some fun robots in our discussion. See you there!
