Additionally,this workshop will provide one-on-one support from an experienced Edmodo implementer and facilitate content connections specific to the participants needs. As a primary level technology applications teacher and integration specialist it has been a challenge finding a technological tool that students and educators can both connect to. Even further is finding It is even more difficult to find one that can satisfy the National Educational Technology Standards. With Edmodo the NETS and common core are met at all levels. The virtual backpack and posting feature promotes student communication, creativity, collaboration and research fluency. Additionally, educators are able to engage students and also build their own community of technological experts to aid in lesson design and development . Thereby, producing an environment where technology and pedagogical content knowledge meet, combine and produce.

Geekbumps and Nerdgasms: Tales from the Cutting Edge

Purpose & Objectives
This session will explore the latest and greatest from around the world of technology. From cutting edge learning technologies to flying cars, nothing is off limits! Have you ever wondered what your favorite ISTE presenters are carrying in their own bags? The technologies that they absolutely can't live without? We'll break out the x-ray machine and show you exactly what they're toting around with them. While many of them will have classroom implications, others are just far too cool not to share!
We'll also delve into the impact that crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are having on the geek community and how to get involved. Discover how to join the ranks of the bleeding-edge and support entrepreneurs. Awards will also be given celebrating the best of the ISTE exhibitor floor, and the top technologies for educators (online and offline). Before we wrap up, we'll open up the session to the audience. Sharing will be encouraged, and bonus points will be given to people that bring their own jealousy inspiring gadgets to show off!
Caution: This session may cause heart palpitations, tingling in extremities and a rapid loss of income. Pregnant woman and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to the levels of excitement that will be generated during this presentation.
Outline
This session will be an over-glorified show and tell for geeks and nerds. We will cover as many widgets, gadgets and technologies as time will allow. Slides, videos, and live demonstrations will all be used. The session may also include special surprise guests sharing their favorite tech.

Classroom Workflow in a 1:1 iPad Environment

Purpose & Objectives
We will share and demonstrate, with attendees participating, how we solved the classroom workflow issue using a few apps and WebDAV sharing. Students with 24/7 iPads can extend the school day by accessing, completing, and submitting assignments at home or anywhere with Wifi access. Taking piles of papers home to grade is no longer the norm for our teachers.
Our District implemented a 1:1 environment in five large middle schools (grades 6 – 8). Each student and teacher received a mobile device for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This particular project had three goals: 1) Change classroom experiences; 2) Increase parental involvement; and 3) Increase efficiencies (fewer resources used, more time on task for students, more one-on-one help for students).
Outline
Overview of classroom workflow
Why did we choose the solution we did? (10 minutes)

#ISTE 2013 Keynote: Learning is an Epic Win!

Opening Keynote: Learning is an Epic Win

Sunday, June 23, 5:30 p.m.
Jane McGonigal
  From the iste2013 program:
Jane McGonigal is today’s leading speaker on games and the application of game-design to education. Referencing lessons learned through her work creating games for organizations such as the World Bank, the Olympic Games, the American Heart Association, and the New York Public Library, McGonigal will discuss the powers of gameplay to solve real-world challenges, and to teach 21st century skills like resilience, urgent optimism, and extreme-scale collaboration.
In the best designed games, our engagement is perfectly optimized: we have important work to do, we’re surrounded by potential collaborators, and we learn quickly and in a low-risk environment. When we’re playing a good online game, we get constant useful feedback, we turbo-charge the neurochemistry that makes challenge fun, and we feel an insatiable curiosity about the world around us. None of this is by accident.
McGonigal will explore the concepts of resilience, how character evolves through gaming, and how gamers, constantly presented with the prospect of failure in-game, develop an ability within their real lives to attempt multiple avenues for solving problems. Like 21st-century learners, their solutions are built on an appreciation for change and collaboration.
McGonigal is an advisor and affiliate researcher with the Institute for the Future (IFTF) in Palo Alto, California, where she has served for four years as the director of game research and development. Her book, Reality Is Broken: How Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World is the definitive modern work on gamification. Learn more about Jane McGonigal and follow her on Twitter.
McGonigal will be available immediately following the keynote to sign books at ISTE Central, East Registration.
ISTE President Kecia Ray and ISTE CEO Brian Lewis will provide welcoming remarks.
