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!!

Writing to Learn - from Edutopia

Edutopia published a wonderful blog post: Low-Stakes Writing: Writing to Learn, Not Learning to Write This blog post gives practical ideas for incorporating writing across the day at any grade level and in any content area. 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...

Using the DOODLE BUDDY APP in Math

Some classes are creating subtraction number stories using the Doodle Buddy App! Students use the stamps in Doodle Buddy to create the picture of their story and then use the pen in the app to cross out stamps and write their number sentence. Students can then take a screen shot and put it in their google drive to share with their teacher. Take it one step further! Have students put their Doodle Buddy picture in Explain Everything, Educreations, Tell About This or Write About This so that they can record their explanation of their number story. Now teachers have evidence of the student’s thinking and can plan for the next step in moving that student along in their understanding of mathematical concepts! Works great for addition number stories, too! Model creating number stories with whole class Students work independently or collaboratively to create number stories Students take screen shot to save their work
