This subset of NYCIST explores educational technology - both integration and stand alone instruction - in graders K-6. We meet approximately four times a year, have this site, and maintain a Google group. Each meeting begins with short project presentations that relate to the meeting’s theme and then there’s a discussion that relates to that same theme. There is also time for meeting new colleagues who share interests and challenges. Past themes have included Digital Citizenship, IPad apps for the classroom, Teaching Programming and Robotics in the Elementary School, and K-6 Makerpaces.
We welcome educators who have been attending our meetings regularly, those who have been hoping to come but haven’t been able to make it, and those who are brand-new to the group.
