Don't gather data from one student when you can gather it from EVERY student. The idea of tricking kids to listen in a 1:1 environment is no longer academically sound. So how do we find out what kids know? Learn to use two easy and free tools to gather data from every student, easily, regardless of platform. Have your teachers snapshot the entire class, instead of random drawings. Show your teachers how to grade less and give more feedback. Attendees will make quizzes and learn to analyze data in one of two free online tools that can revolutionize your school.

Social Media Superhero
The narratives of schools across the country are being told by people who have no connection to buildings. The use of social media meets families, community members, and decision makers in a place where they live daily. Find out how to maximize your school’s social media tools (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more) in order to lead, inspire and inform all stakeholders. Create school accounts if you don’t have them and learn how to integrate your school’s brand, messaging and outreach. Social media is a new literacy and our schools' leaders have to model that literacy appropriately.
