Powering Up Conference Reflections

Powering Up Conference Reflections

Our Tech Team has spent the past several days preparing for our sharing of the information we have learned from the Powering Up Conference. So much information was shared at the sessions on the SMART board and the Keynote Speaker. Her presentation alone was worth the entire day! From Advanced PowerPoint projects to Google in the classroom and beyond, she has started us heading in the right direction as we navigate our way through the 21st century. The two other sessions were informative as well. Even though they were centered on preschool related projects, the tools and software were applicable to any elementary level classroom and many of the projects could be adapted to meet the needs of your students. Overall, I had a very worthwhile professional development experience and gained relevant and meaningful skills and information that we were able to share with our staff as well as our teams on a more personal level.
