JANUARY 2019

AUGUST 2018

This presentation, featuring WeVideo, is a re-vamped and updated version of my original GAFE Summit presentation from Jan 2017, now with a focus on using Google tools, like Sites, Forms, and Docs, to organize your video production unit.

MARCH 2018

This in-district PD session was part of an institute day for teachers, conducted ed-camp style. I wanted to help teachers who were hesitant to use technology see how beneficial it can be for working with students. I hope they left with the realization that it is well worth the effort to learn new technology that can help you to save time and become more organized.

SPRING 2018

For my second ICE conference presentation, I focused on intermediate levels of video production and talked about the green screen feature of WeVideo and how to use it in new and creative ways!

SPRING 2017

This was my first-ever presentation at the Illinois Computing Educators (ICE) Conference. Once again, I presented on behalf of WeVideo, with a 1/2 hands-on 1/2 informational session. 

JANUARY 2017

This was my first official presentation as a WeVideo Ambassador, at the GAFE Illinois Winter Summit. I was given a 1-hour time slot, and told to spend it doing 1/2 instruction/information on WeVideo, and the other 1/2 hands-on time. 

MARCH 2016

In our first year of 1:1 Chromebooks, we held an institute day for middle school staff called TechCamp #D205MS. I presented with a colleague on ISTE standards, and how to incorporate them into a variety of classroom experiences across the district, followed by time for teachers to "play" with innovative tech tools like robots and inventor kits.
