The Heartland AEA Digital Learning Team is excited to offer a new course specifically for administrators that’s focused on edtech.
This course will engage educational leaders in four modules for improving productivity, communication, organization and school management through the use of technology. The culmination of skills and strategies covered in this course include:
- Integrating technology tools for leadership in digital environments to support student engagement, adult learning and creativity
- Exposure to digital age learning experiences and digital tools that will help administrators become productive leaders in their schools and districts
- Growing an understanding of modernized, innovative options for feedback and data-based decision making
- Exploring instructional and leadership practices utilizing education technology
The first section starts on Oct. 17 in a virtual format. Additional face-to-face and virtual options are offered throughout the school year.
As part of a partnership between Pear Deck and the Iowa AEAs, Pear Deck, the Iowa AEAs and ITEC are working in partnership to not only support Iowa educators in integrating Pear Deck with purpose, but also to amplify and share the amazing stories of passionate educators.
Throughout the school year, be on the lookout for tips, tricks and testimonials shared via our newsletter, the statewide Iowa AEA website and via social media (Heartland AEA Twitter, @iowa_aea, #iowaaea).
To kick things off, Andrew Fenstermaker from Iowa City Community School District shares how you can use Pear Deck’s IceBreaker Templates to build community in your classroom.
