What if you could professionalize your position as an educational technology leader? Many educational and technology professionals have ascended to positions of influence in their K12 districts as the digital learning tide has risen. Yet a standard knowledge framework and title for technology leadership roles has been missing from our conversations. For the past several years, the Consortium for School Networking has been addressing this problem and has provided a template of the essential skills for k12 technology leaders. This workshop will provide an overview of the many roles a technology leader must play to be successful and help you learn about the Certified Educational Technology Leader (CETL) designation. This interactive workshop is for those who desire to get started leaning about the CoSN Essential Skills Framework and build basic knowledge to understand the benefits of a nationally portable credential for technology leaders.

MAKERSPACES and S.T.E.A.M. rooms provide challenges and opportunities for student to think, create, problem solve, explore and discover. Thoughtful activities can and should align with the CCSS, ISTE and NextGen standards.  During Part 1 of this workshop, you will be an inquisitive learner in a MAKERSPACE/S.T.E.A.M. playground where you can experiment with many of the activities we are currently using at Petroglyph and E.G. Ross.  During Part 2 we will share our experiences developing and implementing a MAKERSPACE/S.T.E.A.M. room and facilitate your planning process so your school can have its own unique creative space for your students to learn!

Working with others, you will be given a real world problem and be asked to solve it using multiple apps and collaborative web tools. Each participant must bring a fully charged device (tablet or laptop). After completion of the task, participants will debrief the experience and be given the tools and resources to replicate it in their classrooms.
