The
Everest Academy faculty and staff is making strides in technological
applications in the classroom. On November 7 they joined the Archdiocese of
Chicago at a technology conference on Best Practices in
Technology Integration with
educational expert and featured Speaker, Meg Ormiston.
Meg is passionate about transforming teaching and learning through the power of
digital tools. Meg’s extensive experience as a classroom teacher for over a
decade and as a school board president enables her to connect with teachers and
administrators across curriculums and grade levels. She is developing online
professional development to engage staff anytime and anywhere. Meg was just
awarded the prestigious 2010 “Book of the Year” award for her book, Creating
a Digital Rich Classroom.
There
were over 20 breakout sessions including
“Personal Professional Development Using Twitter” and “Technology to
Differentiate Instruction.” There were interactive white board and software vendors
on display, allowing the Everest team to explore the best possible technology
sources for the classroom.
