Become a 21st Century Teacher: Images and Infographics
Educators in the 21st century must understand how images can be created and how they can be used in a variety of media tools including: posters, blogs, wikis, and presentations. We will start with learning about how to create and use images. We will build on that knowledge and use the second half of the day to understand and create infographics. You can make infographics for your classroom or create lessons for students to create their own. This workshop is for every grade level.
Presenter: Samantha Morra is an experienced K-12 NJ educator, technology coordinator and school administrator. She is also a Google Certified Teacher and has presented at the state and national levels for organizations such as the International Society for Technology in Education’s (ISTE), EduCon, and Tech Forum NY and Boston. She currently serves as an advisor for the New Jersey Educational Computing Cooperative (NJECC) and has written articles for ISTE’s Learning & Leading with Technology publication and has contributed to Web 2.0 How-To for Educators by Gwen Solomon and Lynne Schrum. Samantha’s views on 21st century learning and teaching have been quoted in the New York Times and Star Ledger and selected projects/initiatives were featured on NJN’s Classroom Close Up and on the ABC Network special issues on education. She is passionate about technology and its potential to continue to transform education and support teacher and student learning.
Samantha’s workshops will be held from 8:30-2:00 in Hutchinson Hall Room 307-308 at the Kean University, Union Campus. A continental breakfast will be served and participants may bring a brown bag lunch.
We strongly encourage registrants to “bring your own device” (BYOD), but some computers are available, if needed. Note that workshop sessions are limited to 20-25 registrants to allow for ongoing interactive hands-on experiences.
