Medfield Digital Learning Day 2017

As educators, we are very good at  caring for our families and students but often don't carve out important time to care for ourselves.  Take 50 minutes out of your day to experience simple techniques that will help you manage your stress, improve your health and feel your best.  Stress management strategies for the educator include breathing techniques, PMR, Brain Gym@, and Mindfulness.  :)


Here are some documents for my session. 

This  panel provides an opportunity for high school students who receive special education services to share their thoughts and experiences about best practices and accommodations that help them be successful in the classroom. Come hear students describe what works including:

-How material is presented
-Preparation for assessments
-Keeping track of assignments
-Communication with teachers
-Self-advocacy

Ask questions and get feedback from students about how to implement accommodations and enhance the experience of students in your classrooms on IEPs!

Stephen (Instructional Technology Specialist in Dover), Nisha (occupational therapist in Dover), Andrea (Strategies-Based Classroom Teacher in Dover) and Laura (Special Education teacher in Dover) for a round table discussion on the use of assistive technology in the classroom. This will be a highly interactive session with panelists giving their experiences with using assistive technology to level the playing field for students. They will field questions from the audience during the presentation. You can find our slides here. Just open the 2017 folder. 

We are all digital pioneers heading over the great divide between education “back in the day” and digital learning.  In this roundtable discussion, we’ll take an up-close-and-philosophical look at ways

• teaching and teachers remain integral to learning.

• digital learning challenges and rewards and sometimes detracts from learning

Join in the conversation.  Hear how others solved/resolved issues similar to yours.  And best of all, applaud the esprit de corps that defines us.
