Welcome to the USF Digital Technologies for Teaching & Learning
Professional Development Conference 2015
Join us for a day of free professional development workshops presented by graduate students in USF's Digital Technologies for Teaching & Learning program. Our focus this year is on real-life solutions to everyday challenges in the classroom. We will be exploring ways to use Webquests to differentiate instruction, harness social media and other technologies to engage students in learning, elicit student stories with digital storytelling, and use free tools like Google Earth and iBooks Author. We will also be explaining how assistive technologies can help students with special needs to excel, and demonstrating how blending learning and hands-on coding works in real classrooms. We'll introduce you to innovative iPad apps for assessment and to tools for creating digital portfolios that put student learning in the spotlight. We'll even show you how to create your very own makerspace in your classroom.

Keynote Address by Ramsey Musallam, Ed.D
It is a great honor and it gives us a great pleasure to host Ramsey Musallam for a thought-provoking, inspiring, and passionate keynote address. Musallam, a chemistry teacher at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory and adjunct professor at the University of San Francisco, seeks to meaningfully integrate multimedia into a hands-on, inquiry-based learning cycle and to empower other educators to do the same. Musallam is an eloquent advocate for tools like flipteaching, tabcasting, video podcasting, and screencasting in the classroom. On his education blog Cycles of Learning he provides written and video tutorials on how to use everyday tools like Google Docs, screencasting, YouTube, KeepVid, and word clouds for effective teaching.
