Video Overview of LHS 1:1 iPad Program

Lancaster High School is embarking on a 1:1 iPad program for August of 2013.  The school has been preparing for this massive project for over a year now.  Last May we provided every teacher at LHS with an iPad and some basic training.  Throughout this school year we have provided additional training from our own staff as well as Apple Professional Development.  Our focus has been on the pedagogy of teaching in a 1:1 environment with an emphasis on Project-Based Learning.  We have been training our staff and supporting them as they have moved through the SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) progression of technology integration. (New SAMR Pedagogy Wheel from Edudemic) Our most recent survey of staff indicates that more than 80% of them consider themselves as moderately or completely prepared for the implementation the 1:1 iPad program.  Here is our first video highlighting bullet points of the program geared mostly toward parents.

Mark your calendars for October 10, 2013.  Lancaster High School will be hosting a full day of technology professional development to its staff and staff members from other districts.  Please come and learn from teachers and instructional leaders how to use technology to innovate teaching and learning.  Did I mention it is FREE?

I need lots of sessions so I can host lots of attendees.  The fewer presenters I have the fewer attendees I will allow.  This could be a great day to try out an Ohio Educational Technology Conference session or just a great way to share best practices.  Come and help make this a success.
