Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

During this session, presenters will present digital tools and resources. However, unlike many other sessions, these will be presented framed by the ISTE standards for students and educators. Louisiana teachers have been impacted not only by the COVID pandemic, but also by devastating hurricanes during the last two years. Presenters also have experience utilizing these tools and resources to support teaching and learning face to face, hybrid and while teaching virtually. Presenters will very briefly showcase different tools that they have utilized with their students that align to each standard, then participants will be able to vote on the best tool!

Outline

1. Introductions: Leaders of the session will briefly describe who will be presenting, the symmetry seen between ISTE standards for students and educators, and how each standard will be presented with a digital tool or resource that educators have utilized during hurricane and pandemic teaching.

2. Content: Each presenter will have 90 seconds to present their digital tool or resource. They will go "head to head" with another presenter to show what worked best in their classroom based on the presented standard.

3. Process: Participants will have the opportunity to vote on the "best" tool presented for each standard.
