Writer-Teacher? Join Me For an Online Class
If you’re a writer and a teacher, we have a lot in common. I’ve published over a hundred books/ebooks on teaching in today’s classroom. At my other blog (Ask a Tech Teacher), I talk a lot about teaching, technology, and balancing the two. I write on organic topics, publish how-to’s on everything from using images to running a Genius Hour, and teach online webinars and classes.
In fact, I have two classes coming up:
The Tech-infused Teacher: The 21st Century Digitally-infused Teacher
College credit (MTI 562)
Next class: July 27th, 2015
Next: September, 2015
(email [email protected] for more information)
The 21st Century lesson blends technology with teaching to build a collaborative, differentiated, and shared learning environment. In this course, you will use a suite of digital tools to make that possible while addressing overarching concepts like digital citizenship, internet search and research, authentic assessment, digital publishing, and immersive keyboarding. You will actively collaborate, share knowledge, provide constructive feedback to classmates, publish digitally, and differentiate for unique needs. Classmates will become the core of your ongoing Personal Learning Network.
Price includes course registration, college credit, and all necessary materials.
Assessment is based on involvement, interaction with classmates, and completion of projects, so be prepared to be fully-involved and an eager risk-taker.
Differentiation: How Technology Makes Differentiation Fast and Easy
College credit (MTI 563)
Next class: August 10, 2015
Differentiation in the classroom means meeting students where they are most capable of learning. It is not an extra layer of work, rather a habit of mind for both teacher and student. Learn granular approaches to infusing differentiation into all of your lesson plans, whether you’re a Common Core school or not, with this hands-on, interactive class. Ideas include visual, audio, video, mindmaps, infographics, graphic organizers, charts and tables, screenshots, screencasts, images, games and simulations, webtools, and hybrid assessments.
Price includes course registration, college credit, and all necessary materials.

Others you might like (that are coming soon):
20 Webtools in 25 Days (How to Find Webtools that Serve Your Classroom)
College credit
Next class: email [email protected] to be notified when available)
Participants will explore twenty popular digital tools educators are using in their classrooms to extend learning and differentiate for student needs. Participants will review between one and four during the five-week class (by themselves or in groups) and present their review to classmates in a weekly Google Hangout. Participants will respond to the reviews of their classmates with comments, suggestions, personal experience, and questions. Both curations can be used as resource tools in the participant’s upcoming school year.
Assessment is project-based so participants should be prepared to be fully-involved and eager risk-takers.
