Kathi Robinson, Hillsboro School District

"Making Sure Everyone Learns Something New Everyday"

The classroom teacher has the greatest impact on the gifted learner, and yet many excellent teachers have never had a college course or any other background in meeting the needs of these students. Because two characteristics of gifted students are a need for complexity and an advanced sense of humor, the topic of the presentation is to provide participants with enough background, activities, and concrete materials to be that teacher.

Keynote Speaker

Tying Together Curriculum and Technology   Being engaged in the classroom is one of the keys to deep learning. Come spend some time to focus on how and why we use technology to enhance delivery and assessment of curriculum. The session will discuss the paradigm shift teachers and districts are making when choosing technology tools to assist in the delivery of content and will also explore how Mobi's and eInstruction Classroom Response Systems can be used to help with classroom management and delivery of curriculum. See examples of how using these tools can help teachers to actively engage all students in classrooms with ever increasing numbers, check student understanding throughout a lesson, provide on-going real-time feedback during lessons, differentiate instruction based on student understanding, and efficiently assess and record student knowledge. See examples of how teachers can use these tools to make learning visible and take learning to a deeper level using quality questioning strategies during instruction. Dottie Coven - Dottie has a Masters in Teaching and taught elementary school for 13 years. Dottie has worked as a consultant and technology trainer since 1992 and joined CIM Technology Solutions Group as they expanded into the Western Region in 2007.
