Subject: [MLTI_MacBook] MLTI Common Sense Media - Fall Training Schedule
To: "mlti_macbook@lists.maine.gov" <mlti_macbook@lists.maine.gov>
MLTI has worked with Common Sense Media to bring a fall training dedicated to helping educators harness the positive impact of technology. Learning how to use media and technology wisely and safely is an essential skill for life and learning in the 21st century. The two workshops listed below will help educators guide students to think critically, act responsibly and interact positively in the digital world and to discover high quality resources.
Educators can attend one or both trainings scheduled.
We are currently working with schools to schedule additional sessions. If your school has space available and would like to host, please contact Juanita Dickson at juanita.dickson@maine.gov.
Additional dates will be posted on our events page as they are confirmed: http://maine.gov/mlti/events/index.shtml

As technology is integrated into classrooms, teachers need to know how to discover and use quality tools for learning, while meeting Common Core standards. Learn how to: discover high quality apps, websites, and games for students; evaluate the learning potential of these tools; curate tools into useful collections; innovate by reimagining lessons to seamlessly weave in technology using a framework called App Flows; and collaborate by sharing best practices with other teachers on how you're using digital tools in your classroom. Learn how you can achieve these five skill with Graphite, a free service by Common Sense Media. In a hands-on session, you'll practice these important skills and reflect on how they can help you integrate technology into your curriculum.
