2018 Utah Rural Schools Conference

This session provides participants with a sampling of emerging virtual reality applications for portable devices. Each participant will learn the benefits of using 3-D enhanced resources to engage students. We’ll explore the Google Expedition program and learn how to use tools like Google Cardboard, Google Street View, and more to help students discover the world.

We know our students need to have good habits of mind, but what are Habits of Mind? They are a set of intellectual attributes that students need in order to be successful.  These include for example:  persisting, thinking flexibly, creating/imagining/innovating, taking responsible risks, and remaining open to continuous learning.  We can teach in ways that can help our students develop these attributes.  Come to this interactive session to learn strategies to help your students cultivate these important “ways of being”.  You will come away with strategies that you can implement into your planning for next year.
