Creating And Collaborating: A Learning Shift
Presented by Jeffrey Riley
If you plan to attend, please RSVP at http://snipr.com/qaeparented by Tuesday 2/28

Do you wonder how QAE supports and teaches your kids about the internet, social media, and all that is available at their fingertips?
Your kids know what voice threads, glogster, and weebly are, but do YOU?
Have you been wondering how to support and guide your children's use of technology to share and express themselves?

Please join us for our next PTSA-sponsored parent education event on February 29.
Our dynamic librarian and technology guru, Jeffrey Riley (assisted by a few of QAE's most tech savvy 5th graders), will present, demonstrate, provide hands-on technology experiences, and answer questions.
It will be an evening of learning, lively interaction, connecting with other QAE parents, and delicious refreshments.

· Understand the shifts in the ways kids can share and collaborate their work, ideas, and creations
· See the programs being used by students at Queen Anne Elementary, including:
o Voice Threads – Transform media into collaborative spaces with video, voice, and text commenting
o Glogster – Preview interactive learning posters. What questions do you still have? Ask the author
o Weebly – Create encouraging comments on student e-folios and classroom blogs (continued parent homework!)
o Wallwisher – Add to the discussion with your post-its
· Understand the importance of making meaningful comments that encourage rather than praise
