MLTI Workshops
Hi, everyone!
Thank you to those of you who said you were interested in the MLTI opportunities that I mentioned via Staff Talk last week. I was able to arrange for the "Digital Literacy and Citizenship: Best Practices" workshop to come to us, whereas the "Digital Responses To Performance Based Initiatives in Science Teaching", which had fewer requests, will be held at Biddeford High School. I have included the descriptions of both sessions below. Please remember that you must fill out a conference request form as well as register for the session via this link in order to attend. These are just two of the many subjects being covered this spring. Be sure to check out the full list via this webpage.

Digital Responses To Performance Based Initiatives in Science Teaching
As more schools focus on student performance and a standards based system, it is essential that Science educators understand how students interact with and respond to good content. The use of the MLTI devices means that students can develop valuable skills in curating, analyzing and understanding Science content, as well as producing their own. This workshop will focus on the teaching of practices and use of content in a proficiency based Science classroom, and will integrate Maine’s adopted standards as part of this focus. This will be a hands on, active session, providing an exploration of digital tools to use in the classroom. The session will also help educators develop a personal learning network, to help stay up to date with the latest developments in Science education.

Digital Literacy and Citizenship: Best Practices
Young people today are growing up in a digital world that has the potential to enrich their learning. Yet teachers and administrators face daily challenges dealing with behavioral issues that arise from students’ use of technology. Although digital citizenship skills have become essential for students in the 21st century, neither students nor schools have a roadmap to guide them. With the new CIPA/E-Rate education requirements that mandate that all schools receiving E-Rate discounts educate students about Internet safety, it’s even more critical that we have resources to teach students basic Internet safety skills. Attend this session to learn more about Common Sense Media’s free digital citizenship resources and how Common Sense Media is helping to support educators in raising a generation of good digital citizens. You'll leave with ideas and tools you can implement immediately in your school community.
