ITEC is an ISTE affiliate who promotes the use of technology in education by demonstrating to its members, other educators and the public developments in the use of educational technology and how its use supports teaching and learning. The ITEC Conference is October 11-13, 2015. It will be held at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, IA. The conference is open to all educators and administrators in Iowa and beyond.
While coding can be engaging for most students, some students are not impressed. To draw those students in and get them more engaged in their own learning, the 6th graders at Webster City Middle School used drones to advance their education. Using the Tickle app and Parrot Rolling Spider drones, students scaffolded their ability to create code successfully. Come see what we did, and then give it a try for yourself. Come fly with Us!
