SMART™ Elementary Content Creation Summit
With the use of technology becoming such an integral part of our educational world, partnering with SMART Technologies™, CCS Presentations
Systems is looking to create a unique professional development opportunity in the area of SMART product integration. Our goal is to bring
educators from across the state of Arizona together allowing time to collaborate and create SMART content that can be used to accelerate
learning for today's students. At this event, CCS's Certified Training Specialists, along with a SMART Educational expert, will take
elementary educators who have a passion for technology to a new level. Participants at this event will work collaboratively and effectively
to create standard-based lessons that specifically revolve around the SMART Technologies they have in their classrooms.
The Summit is NOT a training workshop. It is designed to be 2 full-days of content creation-allowing educators to discover how to create
professional, interactive, and sharable lesson activities for the SMART Notebook software. Participants will be grouped with peers of the
same grade-level/content area to promote collaboration to its fullest.
CCS and SMART are looking for grant applicants that:
- are Certified, current full-time or part-time elementary pre-K - 5th grade teachers, including SEI and Special Education.
- have at least one-year of SMART Board and/or SMART Notebook experience and have attended training either online, at your school site, or any other form
- want to increase your skills in creating dynamic SMART Notebook lesson activities
APPLY NOW - SPACE IS LIMITED!
