I am super excited to share my experience at the HAIS 2015 Schools of the Future Conference. This was my first conference as a participant and it turned out so well! I don't think things could have gone any smoother and my students from Island Pacific Academy did an amazing job!
Let me tell you a little about it!
About our project:
Title: It's Not About The Destination, It's The Journey!
Description:
Through the integration of physical art and technology see first hand how the process becomes the journey. Students will demonstrate the creation of an on-sight mural which, through technology help to create a time-lapse video. Visit with the students and teacher and see how learning accelerates and is internalized when your school community isn't focused just on the grades.
The annual Schools of the Future Conference is the largest professional development gathering of public and private K-12 educators in Hawaii and brings together teachers and administrators from Hawaii’s public, private, charter and parochial schools as they focus on how to best transform our existing schools and create new learning environments for the 21st Century.
This
collaborative event is presented by the Hawaii Association of
Independent Schools (HAIS), the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE) and the
Hawaii Community Foundation in partnership with the Pillars of Peace
Fund of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation and the Hawaii Society for
Technology in Education to highlight the best practices that
are taking place in our learning environments today and being planned
for those of tomorrow.
