=Welcome to the 21st Century (Skills Workshop)!=

Thank you for taking the time to be a part of this workshop. I know that we all feel overwhelmed by everything we need to do in a day... so taking some time to learn even one more thing can feel impossible (or not worth it!). My goals for our time together are the following:


 * To share the mission and objectives of 21st century learning
 * To help explain the urgency of adopting 21st century skills in our classrooms
 * To share great things that other teachers are using in their classrooms
 * To add at least one new skill to your already extensive skill sets
 * To have everyone leave with a 21st century skill to employ in their classroom within the next week

Schedule of Topics
Over the next few months we will meet and cover the following:


 * Creating Classroom Websites (how to more easily communicate with all of your stakeholders at once!)
 * Cloud Based Storage (how to have your files with you wherever you go!)
 * Google Docs (how to use google docs - your students will know, so you should, too!)
 * Schoology, Twitter, and Other Social Communication Tools (how to use Schoology, Twitter, etc. to add to your network)
 * St. Dominic School Tools and Resources (how to make sure you are using everything we have to offer!)
 * Screencasting (how to use screenshots - images of what you are doing on your computer or smartboard - a great way to help parents understand how to help their student with their math homework!)

=Each session earns participants at least one hour of professional development!=
