Thank you to my incredible colleagues, Dayle Payne, Rhonda Siemons, and Tony Galle for joining me to offer the Imagine, Invent, and Innovate with iPads presentation at Dynamic Landscape 2012.
We shared ways to promote inventive, imaginative, and innovative thinking in Middle School students using tools such as AppCraft (similar to SCRATCH) , 3-D modeling tools (similar to Sketchup), and other apps and practices that promote the creativity cycle, the design cycle, and complex thinking with with i-devices.

1)Creative Teaching with Google Earth
David Davidson/ Lucie deLaBruere
Google
Earth is more than attention-grabbing program for finding your way
around our planet. The tools built into this service give you and your
students the opportunity to create original maps filled with your
content. We will use two elementary school projects to demonstrate how
Google Earth can be used to dramatically display original student work
on aerial views of the Earth.
2) Collaborating with Google Docs in Education- Hands-on – Double Session
Lucie deLaBruere (Google Certified Educator)
This
hands-on workshop will have you collaborating with other participants
by collecting data using Google Forms; turning data into information
using Google Spreadsheet; presenting the information using Google
presentation, and writing a collaborative reflection using Google
docs... and we have lots of fun doing it!!
The folks from CSSU have invited me back to offer another Google workshop. On February 13, we will learn to create a collaborative website using Google Sites. Let's get started. http://sites.google.com/site/learningwithlucie/Home
