Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

A rugged, touchscreen Chromebook is included in the cost of this full-day Pre-Conference MITI workshop. Participants who have used a Chromebook before will learn how to expand its use to maximize the power and potential of this cost effective cloud computing solution. The goal of the workshop focuses on three areas: 1) customizing your new Chromebook for professional/personal use, 2) discovering the value of the Chrome browser, apps, extensions, and add-ons, and 3) establishing specific Chromebook uses in the classroom, including incorporating the use of Google apps and other web-based tools into your lessons to enhance your teaching and engage your students. Take part in hands-on activities that promote creation, collaboration, and communication that you can take back to your school. The presenter shares ideas and resources that will be accessible to you after the training. This workshop is particularly useful for teachers in schools and districts that are using or are about to use Google Apps for Education (GAFE). The registration fee for this MITI workshop includes the cost of the workshop AND the device. The specific Chromebook model selected and exact price will be posted in October on the conference website at www.nhcmtc.org. (Presenter(s): Jennifer Middaugh, CMS Technology Integrator, SAU 16)
