iPads, MakerEd and More in Education

Each year at the Build Math Minds Virtual Summit, I bring in the nation's top math education experts to discuss issues concerning the teaching of elementary mathematics. 

These sessions always give practical tips and thought provoking conversations that will help make decisions about how your students will interact with mathematics this coming year. 

But, the BEST part is that it's all online! You don't have to leave the comfort of your home (or your pool) this summer to get some amazing math PD. Plus, did I mention it's FREE?!?! 

You will be able to watch all the sessions as many times as you want through August 6, 2018. After that, the sessions all go inside my Build Math Minds PD Community for members to have access to at anytime.

Teachers and librarians, like their students, need hands-on experience with tools and with playing to learn as that helps them build creative confidence. (https://www.edutopia.org/blog/crafting-professional-development-maker-educators-colleen-graves)

Teachers, during PD, should be provided with time, resources, and materials with which to play. It sets the expectation that they will be active agents of their own learning. It gives them the message it is okay to play and experiment with the materials; that tinkering is often needed as a part of learning new skills.
