Turbocharged Learning: Beyond the Textbook

Wednesday June 4, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am MDT

Title: Turbocharged Learning: Beyond the Textbook
Course Description: In this session we will be using the insanely clever, useful, and constantly evolving activities and ideas that come from, "Ditch that Textbook".
What Tech Tool Will Be Utilized: Various links and activities that span across several curriculums and technologies
Instructional Strategy: Taking the normal everyday textbook, workbooks, and worksheets and giving them an upgrade and a revamp to create more exciting and memorable lessons for your students.
What You’ll Experience: Do you want to supercharge your lessons but don't know where to start or don't have the time? In this session, we will explore so many already created, at the ready, templates and activities that just need your personal touch and a few clicks to send out to your students. We will discuss and explore how these ideas can enhance your lesson, get your students creating and collaborating in new and fun ways.
What Challenge You Will Do: You will create and get ready as many lessons/ideas as you make time for, getting you all the more ready for the upcoming school year. You will experience several different ideas and options of how you can personalize already-made-items to fit the needs of you and your students.

Zooming Ahead: Using Canva to Accelerate Student Learning (Elementary Focus)

Title: Zooming Ahead: Using Canva to Accelerate Student Learning
Course Description: My students are always begging for different ways to use Canva and I've loved the creativity that is allows them, so I am more than happy to oblige. Infact, by letting them explore and play around, they have come up with fun ways to create and demonstrate new things that they've learned, bringing their lessons to life that paper and pencil doesn't allow. In this session, we will be doing just that, exploring and finding different ways to take the ordinary and supercharge it.
What Tech Tool Will Be Utilized: Canva
Instructional Strategy: We will watch, discuss, and create...coming up with new ideas individually and as a group to find the best ways to help learning in the classroom not only stick, but skyrocket with new possibilities.
What You’ll Experience: New ways for not just ourselves but also for our students to learn, create, and flourish in a fun technological way!
What Challenge You Will Do: We will create and try out several things in Canva, hopefully some that are new to you, and find ways to help bring our lessons (across several subjects) to life while having creative freedom.
