2013 Inspired Learning Conference

The 2013 Inspired Learning Conference went off without a hitch.  Over one hundred educators from Littleton Public Schools and surrounding districts came on a beautiful Saturday to learn and share more about how technology can enhance/extend content.

Presentations ranged from using Google Sites to improve parent communication to Flipping the Classroom, Edmodo, iPads, Pinterest and many more.  Sessions focused on how technology increases audience, collaboration, feedback, and the use of multiple modalities to reach all learners.

Inspired Learning Cohort 2012- 2013

The majority of our presenters came from our Inspired Learning Cohort from the 2012-2013 school year.  These teachers came from 3rd-12th grade classrooms and taught science or social studies.  Their year cohort involved 45+ hours collaborating with their peers, reflecting on blogs and increasing their integration of technology where it added value to the content standards.

LPS Foundation: Beth Best and Linda Hasting for welcoming our Inspired Learning Conference attendees and presenters.  We are lucky to have them in our LPS community.  Their commitment to students and teachers in Littleton Public Schools is invaluable.
