Lights! Camera! Innovate! 2017 Summer Tech Academy


CCSD93 is proud to introduce the 2017 Summer Technology Academy! STA will be held at Jay Stream Middle School and the hours will be from 8:00am - 3:30pm with a 40 minute lunch. Our theme this year is “Lights! Camera! Innovate!” 

The Summer Technology Academy Course Catalog is posted on CurTech93. You can find it on the Summer Technology Academy tab. Most courses in the catalog will be repeated at both tech academies, but check the schedule to make sure.  As we continue to confirm more courses, the catalog may change, so please keep checking back for any updates. 

This year, attendance at the full week of STA will earn CCSD93 licensed teaching staff 6 in-house graduate credit hours. Partial attendance will earn LEAD hours equivalent to the amount of instructional hours attended. CSSSA Paraprofessionals must submit for pre-approval in My Learning Plan and will be able to earn PD points with their attendance. Out of district attendees will earn hours for re-certification. 

With over 50 different courses and 90% of them taught by our fellow colleagues in CCSD93 there is a lot to be excited about! CCSD93 attendees please sign up for STA 6/12-6/16 on My Learning Plan by Monday June 5th; sign up for STA 7/31-8/4 in My Learning Plan by Monday July 24th. Out of district attendees can attend for $125 for the week and should sign up for either week using this link.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

The goal for writing is to get kids writing as much as possible - so much, that it is near impossible to keep up with them!  The more they write and publish to an authentic audience, the more authentic feedback they can receive. All of the ideas in the blog post align to and can be combined with our district's writing supplemental resource: The Common Core Writing Book (K-5) The Common Core Writing Book (6-8) If you do not have a copy of the book for your grade level, please contact the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Department to get a copy. Want to start implementing, but not sure where to start?  Check with your building's instructional coach!  Your instructional coach is there to assist you and provide support as you look to incoropor...

PebbleGo is not an app. It is a website that is accessible through Safari on the iPad. Your students can access PebbleGo using the QR code below.

When you get to PebbleGo and have logged in, choose a category - right now the options are Animals, Science, Biographies and Social Studies. In each category there are a number of topics. Choose the one you want to further explore. PebbleGo offers options for text to be read aloud, some videos, as well as other activities that can be imported into and completed in Explain Everything if you choose. PebbleGo is also a great p...
