Stacy Harris, Susan B. Anthony Middle School, Manhattan! I will be sharing how I have used google drive and google docs. to create a paperless classroom in my science classroom. I will share how to use it on the iPads and the labtops and some of the problem solving we have done to get us passed potential problems. !

Summer Moeckel , Victoria Elementary, Victoria Many teachers have a tendency to get "app happy", loading student iPads with massive amounts of educational games. I tend to have the opposite approach in my classroom, "quality not quantity". I have about 15 go to apps on my student iPads that have completely transformed the way I teach and the way students learn. Strip design, Morfo Booth, Pic Collage, Puppet Pals, Flascardlet, and Good Notes are some of my favorites just to name a few. Teachers need to realize that we are preparing our students for jobs that don't even exist yet. In this new digital age, I have taught myself how to teach smarter, not harder. I would love to be able to share my one-to-one iPad experiences with others.

Dean Mantz, Sterling #376 Sterling Participants in this session will take a hands-on, in-depth approach for developing visual learning projects using applications like Knowmia (http://www.knowmia.com) and Explain Everything (http:// www.explaineverything.com). These two apps are ideal for creating tutorial videos enabling students to learn at their own pace as well as allowing for students to visually and verbally explain their own learning of various concepts. Educators will explore current examples of teacher and student created projects to develop a foundation for ways to use these projects. Then participants will create their own project for classroom integration.
