It was an honor to once again present with Mr. Chris Edman at the ICE COLD Mini-Con in Clarendon Hills. In our session, entitled "Going Places With Google," we introduced participants to a variety of web-based tools created by Google or by others using Google products to enhance and enrich curriculum.  We examined a variety of tools, such as My Maps, Google Earth, The Google Cultural Institute, and the Street View special collection. At the end we all had a fun time playing around with Google Maps-based games, such as SmartyPins, Geoguessr, and Earth-Picker. Take a look at our presentation below and leave any questions or comments you have below!

Also, don't forget to check out all the other great presentations on the ICE COLD website, too.

Nice MiniCon follow up

This year's NICE MiniCon was a fantastic experience. Not only did I get to see three other educators share some wonderful ideas for improving student's learning experiences, but it also marked the first time that I've ever done a workshop outside of my own school. Now that I've got a taste of it, I can't wait to do it again. Too bad I didn't sign up for this year's ICE conference.

Everything went well and I received some very positive feedback. I guess that whole M.S.Ed. in Instructional Technology thing wasn't a bad idea after all. :)

My lovely wife Catherine, who presented at last year's MiniCon, gave me the great idea to create screencasts of what I was going to cover. That way everyone can go back and re-watch the videos.

What's even cooler is a Schoology Community Manager saw my videos and she liked them so much, shes's sharing them with their social networks. I'm basically famous now, guys.

If you want to see the presentation and the videos, they're all available here: mrwickham.com/nice.

I'm very excited to be presenting a session at the Northern Illinois Computing Educators Schoology MiniCon in Skokie on January 25, 2014. 

The session is entitled "LMS: Creating a Paperless Classroom" and will introduce users to how I've created a paperless learning environment using the Schoology learning management system (LMS). 

Topics to be covered include: creating assignments and assessments, annotating student work, using rubrics, discussion boards, and integrating Google Drive. 

I even had a cute little tag line in my proposal. "Teachers, don’t drown in paperwork anymore!"

The cost is only $5 and I assure you it is more than worth the price of entry (in bagels alone!). Check it out here.
