Coding Camp
With Jenna Garcia (the Midwest Regional Director of Code.org) at the helm, participants learned different ways to teach (and learn) using the Code.org free curricula.
Social Media Camp
Janice Mertes from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction showed tips and tricks for social media from her department’s webpage as well as gave teachers a hands on perspective of social media in schools.
Animation Camp
Nate Clark of the Madison Public Library led attendees in an exploration of creating movies and simple animation through easy to use apps. Using iPads, hand drawings, and other props, creating films could never be more fun – or easier to do in a classroom setting!
Interactive Gaming Camp
Your school grounds and local community is a laboratory for interactive learning! The Field Day Lab website for educational games was one of many resources introduced by David Gagnon for this camp. These games are designed with teachers in mind for educational use in and out of the classroom.
