Tools you can use: In this session, you will
learn about one hundred and one
applications for mobile, web and cross
platform to help increase teacher
productivity.
Our generation has gone from university
mainframes to desktops to networks and
The Internet, which became a portals for
sharing. We shared professional and
academic papers, music, and family
photographs with our friends, and they
told us what they thought of it. But social
networking and web 2.0 tools are just a
bunch of great toys. Let's learn to use
technology tools in practical ways that
help us transcend the fundamental
limitations of human beings and to live
richer lives in which we communicate
with, learn from, and teach others - in
both physical and virtual space.
Mimio is an easy to use interactive system
and does everything teachers need to be
effective in the classroom. Come to this
session to learn how to use this tool to be
a more effective and interactive educator.
School personnel often have difficulty
determining what kinds of technology
tools are available to promote higher level
thinking. This workshop will offer an
overview of Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy,
which identifies the technology tools
available to facilitate 21st Century
Learning. It will also showcase the top 10
web 2.0 tools used by teachers across
America.
At this session, educators will be informed
about Read Naturally's Word Warm-ups,
an independent, supplemental, researchbased curriculum for students that
supports the development of phonemic
awareness, phonics, and automaticity in
applying decoding skills--which impact

session includes examples of hands-on
activities, watching amusing videos of
Aquarium animals, and discovering how
videoconferencing can impact your
school. The goal of this session is to stir an
interest in video-conferencing and its use
in the classroom. Aquavision is the Texas
State Aquariums’ series of K-Adult
videoconference programs. Each program
focuses on an environmental science
topic. Participants will have an
opportunity to win prizes!
The nature of science preservice teacher
knowledge has been studied to improve
teacher preparation programs in hopes of
improving teaching practices, but most
importantly to improve student
achievement. One of the problems we
face as pre-service teachers’ (PST)
instructors systematically promote
development of a reflective process in PST
to critically and objectively analyze
teaching strategies, problems of practice
and ultimately be able to develop viable
solutions to promote student
achievement in their own practice. This is
a longitudinal self-study of two
consecutive semesters of PST enrolled in a
middle grades science methods course.
This session will provide extensive
information regarding the process needed
to enroll in the Early Childhood graduate
program. The goals, objectives, careers
and courses will be revealed to help
attendees get a better understanding of
why they should pursue this program of
study.

Participation and motivation are
determinant factors that impact student
learning. These factors have proven in
most environments, whether it is at a
school presentation or a staff
development training, to be deficient. The
purpose of this training is to try an
alternative approach to increasing
student participation and develop a
higher level of excitement and motivation
for learning. This approach involves the
sending of text messages via cell phones
as a way of recording and projecting
students’ responses into the screen for
the group to view. Texting is a habit that
has been increasing in popularity across
age groups. It is only reasonable to take
advantage of that popularity to motivate
students and get them involved by using
texting as a response system. By
increasing student interest and
participation, a more conducive the
learning environment can be developed.
Technology, just in the past four years has
increased in the classroom and support
has been provided for the educator, but
there is a big discrepancy between the
level of technology use expected of
educators and the actual use and
integration of technology in the
classroom. In this presentation we will
break the barriers that hinder the
effective use of technology in education.

The education of young children involves
all the development of their cognitive,
physical, social, and emotional capacities.
Policymakers and current accountability
measures compel schools to focus on
cognitive developmental areas in
academics in order for children to succeed
in standardized tests (Heckman, 2004).
Epstein argued that, in recent years, the
spotlight has been on young children's
academic skills while at the same time;
the focus on children's social-emotional
learning has diminished. Meanwhile,
research shows that a key factor that
contributes to academic success is the
development of the whole child, including
a child's social-emotional competence
(Liew & McTigue, 2010). Like teachers,
sometimes parent's participation in their
children's school lives may be
academically motivated. Parents need to
understand that social-emotional
development plays a vital role in laying
the foundation in early childhood.
Consequently, the purpose of this study is

The presentation will describe and
analyze the sociocultural and pedagogical
implications of a nationwide initiative of
the Argentinean government to distribute
laptops to all secondary students and
teachers throughout the country. The
program “Conectar Igualdad” is defined as
a digital equity policy that pursues to
guarantee that all students in the country
have access to new technologies, and
receive quality teaching through
innovative technological approaches. The
program has developed teacher training
courses and professional development,
technical assistance in schools, integration
of ICT in the curricula, and development
of production and quality digital content
to provide new resources for teaching and
learning.
African American and Hispanic girls'
academic achievement has shown to be
low according to the National Assessment
of Educational Progress (NAEP), the
project provided school district educators,
parents and students through a
conference venue information to
understand their competency in subjects
that can impact their decisions to seek
STEM careers. Having this vital
information for a population that will
soon represent about 30% of the school
age population is critical. Yet, how this
information can promote awareness to
cultivate African American and Hispanic
girls participation in STEM careers at an
early age?

On Practice In

This case study examines language
opportunities and practices vis-à-vis
digital technology and television.
Participants were 28 native Spanish
speakers from grades one to seven in a
South Texas colonia, or unincorporated
area. Instruments for data collection were
literacy logs and two rounds of interviews.
Participants’ lacked technology-based
assignments in Spanish, and reading and
writing instruction in their home
language. Also, they used mostly English
while accessing digital technology outside
of school. We discuss the structural
inequalities participants faced and ways
teachers can support economically
disadvantaged Latino/a children in
building digital literacy skills in Spanish.
The education of young children involves
all the development of their cognitive,
physical, social, and emotional capacities.
Policymakers and current accountability
measures compel schools to focus on
cognitive developmental areas in
academics in order for children to succeed
in standardized tests (Heckman, 2004).
Epstein argued that, in recent years, the
spotlight has been on young children's
academic skills while at the same time;
the focus on children's social-emotional
learning has diminished. Meanwhile,
research shows that a key factor that
contributes to academic success is the
development of the whole child, including
a child's social-emotional competence
(Liew & McTigue, 2010). Like teachers,
sometimes parent's participation in their
children's school lives may be
academically motivated. Parents need to
understand that social-emotional
development plays a vital role in laying
the foundation in early childhood.
Consequently, the purpose of this study is
for educators to help parents of young
children gain skills and knowledge needed
to help their children develop socialemotional capacities which impact their
academic success.
The nature of science preservice teacher
knowledge has been studied to improve
teacher preparation programs in hopes of
improving teaching practices, but most
importantly to improve student
achievement. One of the problems we
face as pre-service teachers’ (PST)
instructors systematically promote
development of a reflective process in PST
to critically and objectively analyze

teaching strategies, problems of practice
and ultimately be able to develop viable
solutions to promote student
achievement in their own practice. This is
a longitudinal self study of two
consecutive semesters of PST enrolled in a
middle grades science methods course.
This session will focus on the
developmentally appropriate uses of
technology in early childhood settings
that can support the development and
learning of young children.
Acknowledging the rapid growth and
benefits of educational technology in the
classroom, this session looks at the
technology standards (TEKS), the different
types of technology that engage learners
through play, some of the concerns
regarding the different types of
technology available, and the proposed
guidelines for use of such technology in
early childhood settings serving children
birth through age eight.
In this interactive presentation we
demonstrate what and how doctoral
students learned about research
interviewing by engaging in interactive
and reflexive hands-on projects within a
Research Interviewing course. Although
interviewing is one of the most widely
used research methods in education and
other social sciences (Kvale & Brinkman,
2009), little research examines the
processes of learning to conduct research
interviews (Roulston, deMarrais, & Lewis,
2003). Using a focus-group interview
format for the presentation, we
demonstrate how rich points (Agar, 1994)
experienced in the learning process
enabled students to co-construct
knowledge about interviewing, research,
and themselves.
It is important to look for innovative ways
to reach teachers at the elementary and
secondary levels who need to support
their English language learners and
deepen their understanding of bilingual
and ESL education. This presentation
describes an M.Ed. program with a dual
language or ESL emphasis taught through
technology to cohorts of teachers at
different school sites. All courses are
taught via videoconference or online with
the support of advanced Blackboard
technology and enhancements such as
Tegrity and Elluminate Live! The
presenters share details of how the
courses are presented and organized and

Influences on
Children’s Numeracy
Awareness: From a
Parent’s Perspective
Across the globe, young children are
expected to learn and play in the second
language. This session focuses on how 60
children in Peru and New York City
perceived their rights to use their home
language in play and learning.
Today’s young children live immersed in a
world of technology, this makes
technological and media literacy for
parents and teachers more important
than ever (NAEYC, 2011). Technology has
changed the way children learn, shop, and
search for information, play, read, write,
think and process information. These
practices need to be valued and
incorporated in the classroom if not we
run the risk of creating curriculum that is
meaningless to the child. (Mawson, 2010).
The intent of this presentation is to
engage in a conversation about Young
children’s uses of technology for two
reasons. First to stimulate thinking about
curriculum in relation to contemporary
children and childhood and to present my
dissertation topic and receive input from
the audience.
This presentation is based on a qualitative
study that obtained a parent’s perspective
on her four-year-old child’s numeracy
development. Research on numeracy in
early childhood education stresses the
importance of the prior-to-school years
for mathematical development that
informs numeracy as a possible path to
positive mathematics outcomes (Sarama
& Clements, 2008; Skwarchuk, 2009).
Drawing from a social-cultural
perspective, the interview study was
based on Kvale and Brinkmann’s (2009)
seven-stage process. Event mapping
analysis provided the insights of the social
and conversational context of the
interview. Implications for further
scholarship on the cultural factors that
influence numeracy development will be
addressed.

Traits of Educational
Technology Leaders
This presentation is based upon a
qualitative study that examined the
reported origin and influence of
technology skills, dispositions, academic
preparation, experiences and technologyrelated professional development
activities on a principal’s ability to
function as a technology leader. Because
of the gap between expectation and
preparation, the role of technology in
schools is receiving a great deal of
attention. Principals at the helm of every
campus are now required to make
decisions in the purchasing of
technologies, in the form of software and
hardware, for their campus. They must
also make decisions on staff development
to support instructional technology

Our generation has gone from university
mainframes to desktops to networks and
The Internet, which became a portals for
sharing. We shared professional and
academic papers, music, and family
photographs with our friends, and they
told us what they thought of it. But social
networking and web 2.0 tools are just a
bunch of great toys. Let's learn to use
technology tools in practical ways that
help us transcend the fundamental
limitations of human beings and to live
richer lives in which we communicate
with, learn from, and teach others - in
both physical and virtual space.
The nanoscience and nanotechnology
have attracted a great attention and have
posed significant potential in many areas
of current societal interests. A number of
physical phenomena become outstanding
as the size of the matter decreases to
nanoscale. Nanotechnology is very
diverse, ranging from extensions of
common device physics to completely
new approaches based upon molecular
self-assembly in atomic level. This talk will
introduce the modern key
nanotechnologies that are intended to
help solving global energy needs with
environmentally clean solutions, enhance
the quality of life through improved
medicine and healthcare, improve the
defense industry, and provide the
benefits of information and
communication.

Collaborative virtual environments (CVEs)
as global platforms for learning are
becoming increasingly more evident and
essential. Students engaged in CVE
activities not only become active learners
and retain information longer, but also
develop social skills through their
interactions within these communities.
Thus, the understanding and fostering of
emotional intelligence (EI) in CVEs is
necessary. This 50 minute presentation
will provide middle school teachers in all
disciplines with an overview of emotional
intelligence as posited by Goleman and
Bar-on, EI as a unique model of learning,
and EIs capacity to develop individuals
through its practical application within
collaborative virtual environments.

Technology, just in the past four years has
increased in the classroom and support
has been provided for the educator, but
there is a big discrepancy between the
level of technology use expected of
educators and the actual use and
integration of technology in the
classroom. In this presentation we will
break the barriers that hinder the
effective use of technology in education.
Participation and motivation are
determinant factors that impact student
learning. These factors have proven in
most environments, whether it is at a
school presentation or a staff
development training, to be deficient. The
purpose of this training is to try an
alternative approach to increasing
student participation and develop a
higher level of excitement and motivation
for learning. This approach involves the
sending of text messages via cell phones
as a way of recording and projecting
students’ responses into the screen for
the group to view. Texting is a habit that
has been increasing in popularity across
age groups. It is only reasonable to take
advantage of that popularity to motivate
students and get them involved by using
texting as a response system. By
increasing student interest and
participation, a more conducive learning
environment can be developed.
