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.

Imagination Yoga – Inspired Movement!

2 Hour Keynote Presentation: In the center of life’s storms I stand serene. This interactive class focuses on daily relaxation techniques for both the teacher and the student and provides tools to help focus and energize your classroom. You will be introduced to yoga inspired movements that you can use daily to improve your mental and physical wellness. We will discuss techniques on sharing Imagination Yoga with your students and review the physical and cognitive benefits of yoga for the K-12 age group. Imagination Yoga poses inspire you to get your body moving, but they also stretch your creative side by integrating visualization techniques to help you further connect breath and movement. We will explore the benefits of setting daily intentions, the possibilities of visualization realized; as well as the current NASPE recommendations for physical activity, and the links between movement, academic performance and increased brain function.

1 Hour Breakout Presentation (Elementary Focus)
Title: Imagination Yoga – Learning Through Play!
This class offers an introduction to the physical and cognitive benefits of integrating Imagination Yoga into your K-5 classroom curriculum. These poses will focus on kinesthetic learning, calming children (as well as the teacher), inspiring body awareness and invoking the imagination. Imagine Yoga as a Tiger, Imagine Yoga as a Rocket Ship, Imagine Yoga as a Volcano – are just a few of the fun, exciting movements you will learn that can be integrated immediately into your classroom. The children you teach will be inspired to get their bodies moving – and so will you!

Jamie has a B.S. in Early Childhood Education from Oregon State and received her Yoga Teaching Certificate from the Ananda School of Yoga and Meditation. Jessica also has a B.S. from OSU and spent several years working for a major sports company before leaving to focus on her family and Imagination Yoga. Both women have enjoyed teaching Imagination Yoga to thousands of children over the past 6 years and sharing Imagination Yoga with hundreds of teachers has become a passion that both women love. The goal is to spread as much love, light and positivity as possible.
