Conference Preview TCEA 2022

---

​Everything's bigger in Texas right? Well, their Ed Tecch conference is no exception. TCEA is around the corner, and it’s always one of the biggest and best conferences out there. They bring in a multitude of national level presenters and the great local ones are bountiful too. I have the privilege of being part one again, and I am delivering 6 sessions that I would love to see my Texas friends at!

Those 6 sessions are

• The Creation Story Starring iPad (2/7 11:00AM Room D166): The iPad sometimes gets a bad rap. It’s harder to manage than a Chromebook, and it requires accessories to get a full computer type of experience. Where it excels though is as a creative device! This session is all about filling your bucket to move students to a creative space. We look at different apps, give you time to play with them, and add a multitude of resources that will convince you of the iPad’s efficacy in the classroom.
• The Ultimate Chromebook Guide (2/7 3:00PM Room D162): Want the 6 rules to get the most out of Chromebook in your classroom? This session gets right to it. We discuss how to get the most of Google Drive, some great Web-Based apps to use, some extensions to make your life easier, and how you should never get filled by Android. Come to this session to fill that Android bucket!
• Apple Lovers Delight (2/8 12:00PM C146): IOS can be a great platform for the Classroom, but cutting down the app store is a challenge. Let me do it for you in this session! We give you a whole lot of apps to fill that device the way you want!
• Join the Hype Club! Hype it Up with Hyperdocs (2/9 10:30AM D162): If you're having students create in the classroom, you have to have a process. Hyperdocs are a simple and effective way to lay those out. They are super customizable, highly shareable, and easy to use. This session gives you everything you need to get started.
• Bring out a bit of Making with Micro:bit and Code (2/9 12:30PM C150): There are so many coding devices out there, but there is a secret to finding the best ones. It’s all about finding the ones with the highest ceiling. Micro:bit for sure qualifies there. This session will take you through the ins and outs of the device and will let you get started with projects.
• Building an Inclusive STEM Driven Classroom (2/10 8:30AM C149): STEM should be a place that everyone can participate and this session gives you all the tools to make that heepen. We talk about UB and let you measure it, how to personalize learning, and how to build an awesome classroom space. You also get tiem to do it!
