Opening Keynote for iPadpalooza by Sir Ken Robinson
As students with special needs are truly integrated into the general education classroom, teachers struggle to provide appropriate learning experiences for them. The iPad and appropriate apps can bridge that gap and help all learners engage in activities that support and reinforce needed skills.
This session will provide participants the opportunity to explore and create interactive lessons for K-5. Come ready to participate, have fun and explore the possibilities!
QR Codes – they’re everywhere, but how can they be used in the classroom? Leave this workshop with lots of QR Code activities for all subjects and grade levels!
Many school districts are adopting iPads for classroom use, while at the same time "going Google" with Google Apps for Education. Both provide students and teachers with worlds of opportunity, but they don't often play well together. Let's sit down with them both and see what we can do to bring the best of both worlds together.
When you combine the power of Google Apps with the mobility of the iPad, you’ve set the stage for anytime learning. Learn tips and tricks from a Google certified teacher that will help you look like an iPad pro!

iPads have become the hottest commodity in the educational technology market and are outselling Macbooks by a ratio of 2:1. However, the rush to purchase new technologies often precedes the necessary planning that’s crucial to their success as educational tools. Effective iPad programs are integral parts of a larger holistic approach that re-imagines traditional classroom practices and dynamics.
What does the successful iPad classroom look and feel like? In writing his "iPad in Education for Dummies" book author Sam Gliksman spoke to teachers around the country to see how they were innovating with technology. In this session he'll demonstrate a variety of ways that iPads can be used to transform education and draw on specific classroom examples that are included in his book.
Having evolved into a contemporary country music must-see seemingly overnight, Waterloo Revival has quickly taken hold of the Texas music scene, selling out major venues along its path. After the much anticipated release of their debut EP “Little Lightning," Waterloo has played for a sold out crowd at Stubb’s, filled Ray Benson’s Rattle Inn to capacity, and secured sponsorship from famed Texas country clothier Southern Thread.
Based in Austin, Texas, the band’s rapid success is a testament to their catchy songs and southern twang; described by many as a soothing mix of contemporary country laced with Texas grit. Waterloo Revival is led by native Austinites George Birge (Lead Vocals and Guitar) and Cody Cooper (Rhythm Guitar), who have been both playing and co-writing music together since early adolescence. Matt Colletta (Lead Guitar) and Mateo Clarke (Fiddle & Mandolin) provide the band’s unique melodies and rock & folk inspired solos, while Jason Klann (Bass) and Thomas Morris (Drums) tie tracks together with unmistakable rhythm.
As Waterloo Revival’s shows continue to sell out week by week, the group looks forward to extending their bookings well across the state borders and spreading their high-energy tracks and infectious Texas charm nationwide.

Multiple ways to differentiate with iPads with higher level learners. Creating open ended learning using multiple apps.
It has never been a more exciting time to be a good teacher; it has never been more crucial. With some students deciding to "educate themselves" and others falling asleep and disengaged, it falls upon a great educator to know her audience and leverage the tools at her disposal. When students are given voice and choice to discover their world, authentically engaged students are the results. The pupils are awake, the teachers are alive, and learning happens in a fun and exciting environment that everyone looks forward to being a part of. Join us in discovering many apps that lend themselves well to 21st century teaching and learning. Don't get stuck doing old things, old ways, on new devices.

You wanna be where every teacher knows........your brain.
Cotter Public Schools are a 1:1 iPad school allow students that are unable to attend school for weeks to months at a time the ability to attend class offsite. We now live in a time that students that have made poor decisions,have family matters, or medical conditions that require them to be absent from school can still attend offsite. During this session, Chris will discuss how Cotter is doing this and other ways of achieving the same goal of true 24/7 learning.
The cornerstone of our school's iPad pilot program this year has been three incredible apps. All of our students use Dropbox, eBackpack, and Notabilty. Notability is our note taking app that auto syncs with Dropbox. Students can hand write, type, and audio record notes in Notability. It has also helped our students become better organized. These two apps together make a very powerful tool.
eBackpack has become my teachers best friend. While being paperless wasn't a major goal, eBackpack allows us to use infinitely less paper. Teachers no longer have to stand in line at the copier. Nor do they have to keep up with file folders full of student papers. eBackpack's newest update allows teachers to handout assignments digitally, students can complete assignments and turn them in without ever leaving eBackpack. Finally, teachers can grade assignments (annotating directly on the digital page) and return it without ever leaving eBackpack or printing a single document.
I can't imagine our iPad program without these three apps, and I'd love to share them with other teachers.
Art Education Technology

iPad 1:1 initiatives are not a new concept, but every year several districts take on the task. Although there is no definitive blue print for a iPad 1:1 program, districts that take on this challenge quickly find out it is almost impossible to plan for every curve ball that is thrown their way throughout the process. Here in Manor ISD, we looked to local area districts to learn as much as we could. We can say after many months of planning and discussion, Manor came up with a plan that looked solid. Then came the Nolan Ryan curve balls that taught us to expect anything. From those experiences, we came up with the 5 steps to ensuring a successful 1:1 iPad Roll Out.
Step 1: Bandwidth
Step 2: Device Management
Step 3: Teacher Training
Step 4: Digital Citizenship
