WELCOME
Welcome to the 19th Annual Alabama Educational
Technology Conference. We are honored that
you have taken time out of your busy summer to
join fellow educators at Alabama’s leading
educational technology conference! I am confident that this year's
conference will be highly informative and provide you with invaluable tools
and information to enhance your knowledge of technology.
Technology in schools and classrooms is becoming more and more
prevalent; therefore, we must continue to provide educational leaders
with the vital resources needed to keep Alabama schools connected and
competing in this rapidly changing technological age. We have made
tremendous strides regarding technological advances in our public schools,
thereby enabling students to learn and communicate, even in remote
sections of the state. However, we still have more to do. In fact, as
technology continues to evolve, so must we. One of our strategies is to
utilize conferences such as this one to highlight the advantages of using
technology and to provide the most up-to-date training possible to facilitate
its use in our classrooms.
As we continue through the 21st Century, please remain committed to
providing the highest standards of education to our students because this is
vitally important to their successful journey into the future.

State Superintendent of Education

Jeff uteCht
Jeff Utecht is an educational technology consultant, educator, and author. He
holds a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in
Technology as well as his administrative certification through Washington
State. Jeff began his career in the Elementary classroom at a public school in
Washington State. In 2001, he was the recipient of a Bill and Melinda Gates

of his journey with technology and learning.
Over the past 10 years, Jeff has taught at International Schools in the Middle

leSlie fiSher
Leslie Fisher’s interest in technology began while studying music
at the University of Southern California. She quickly realized the
value of utilizing computers for music mixing and thus began a
personal discovery process where technology replaced the
flute and brought her nationally celebrated talents to us today.
After graduating from USC with a Business and Marketing degree
in 1989, she went to an Apple Computer Inc. subsidiary where she
was in charge of the education marketing and training program.
Wanting more technical experience, Leslie left this company in 1992 and
joined Apple Computer Inc. as a Senior Systems Engineer in K-12 education,
providing technology solutions to school districts across Southern California.
When the Internet took off in 1994, Leslie was one of the first Apple employees assigned to study
Internet growth and implementation. Due to her knowledge of Web design, server implementation,
and Internet Resources, she became the Internet resource in the Educational Western Region.
In 1997 Leslie created Fisher Technologies Inc. to help educators with their technology implementation
and decision making. Fisher Technologies Inc. is now a nationwide corporation providing Web design,
consulting, training, and presentation services to school districts and companies.

Computing: Building Websites for
teachable Moments
The Advanced Legal and Ethical Issues Computer
Literacy Course (CS 345) in the Computer Science
Department of the College of Engineering at The
University of Alabama has used student-led group
projects to promote applied learning. The course
requires students to build informational websites
around current issues in computing. Students are
required to build websites that are geared towards
an audience of middle to high school youth, which
insures that students not only assimilate the
knowledge being taught in the course, but effectively
redeliver it in a new and innovative way. These
websites cover topics from cyber-bullying to online
social media and privacy. By building these websites,
students and faculty for CS 345 have developed a
reservoir of resources available for use in the middle
or high school technology curriculum.

the new learning experience: taking advantage of the information age
Presenter: Jeff Utecht
Code #
8:30-11:30
Society is changing. We are more connected than we have ever been in the history of mankind. We are producing
more content, sharing more ideas, and learning at a pace never before seen. This workshop
will look at our changing global society, changing universities, and how teachers can take advantage of
the wealth of knowledge in their classrooms. Recent research shows that today’s students fall into what is called
the 1-9-90 rule. That is that only 1% of students are actively creating content, 9% know how to curate digital
information, while 90% of this current generation only consume digital information.
What are schools doing to encourage students to be creators of content and not just consumers of information? We
will focus our time on looking at everything from how we can have students create their own core text for a class
to creating digital maps to make sense of their world. We will explore new approaches to learning within the
connected classroom as well as how educators can move from a Pedagogical approach to a Heutagogical approach
to learning within their classrooms. Participants will have time to explore, learn, discuss and walk away ready to
take advantage of the information age in their classroom. This workshop will focus on the essential question: What
skills need to be replaced in our schools to ensure we are preparing students for their future not our past?
Building Student Centered Blended learning environments
Presenter: Jeff Utecht
Code #
1:30-4:30
The latest statistics out of the U.S. show that 80% of college freshmen will take at least one online course. Most of
these classes will be in the form of a “blended classroom,” meaning that time will be spent both in a traditional
classroom and online. This institute will focus on creating a blended classroom for learning. We will discuss how
pedagogy changes within a blended classroom environment and how true student-centered learning is created
with technology. As part of this workshop, we will look at ways to manage your virtual classroom and create a
plan on how you can incorporate it into your everyday teaching and make it just what you do. Teaching in a
blended classroom is not about knowing technology, it is about having a mindset of allowing students to take control
of the content and helping them to make meaning and create knowledge from it in multiple forms, styles, and
media.

take notes and keep organized, exposure to the concepts and materials several times, students learn thinking and
problem-solving skills, and gives students the chance to process their thoughts in a "safe" location. The problems with those
composition books? Grading stacks of composition notebooks is time-consuming. Some writing is difficult to read. Notebooks
get lost! With many school systems converting to a digital one-to-one program, virtual notebooking allows students to gain
the experiences science notebooks offer, while eliminating the negatives.

Moving from Sorting to Searching
There was a time not too long ago when we taught students how to sort and organize their files. How to create
folders inside of folders and basically do what we do in the physical world to our digital life. Then came the Internet and
its endless websites. We tried to organize them but at last there were too many. So we turned to something different.
We stopped trying to organize the Web and we started searching it. Search is the skill of our era, a life skill that once mastered
opens up all sorts of opportunities. Do you teach search in your classrooms and schools? This session will focus on the skills and
strategies of search. Participants will walk away with K-12 lesson plans, ideas, and classroom routines they can start using
tomorrow in their classroom to teach students the skill needed most in today's connected world. The skill of search.

learning in your Own Space, at your Own pace
Many students with learning disabilities have difficulty with a variety of written tasks. Most teachers face the same
challenges with special and struggling students when trying to read materials to them during class. Some teachers may not
know the specific technology tools that can assist, have the time to locate tools, or afford some of the software. The session
will cover techniques a teacher can use for making this information available on MP3 Players, Live scribe, flash drives and
CDs for students that will increase weekly common assessments and CRT scores. If you are interested in increasing test
scores, regardless of ability levels, come experience some hands-on examples. Participants will be directed how to use
Microsoft Movie Maker tools to make information that they discussed in class to insert the same lesson on students MP3
Players, Live scribe pen's CDs or flash drive. The student will no longer go home and state "I forgot what my teacher said".
These techniques will guarantee increased test scores and enhance the excitement of learning. This session will show
participants how to reach all student abilities and disabilities by recording their test, spelling words, science, social studies,
criterion-reference test, study guides on flash drives, MP3 players, and CDs for each student they teach.

Backchannels - What are they? Why Should i use One? how Do i use One?
Using a backchannel for educational purposes can function as a formal class activity or even an independent discussion
without instructor participation and awareness. Aside from the normal discussion, a backchannel can also be used for note
taking, asking questions, offering suggestions on different topics, and sharing resources with other students and faculty
members. There are many different media networks out there that can be used as a backchannel.

the power of an audience: using google apps to Make learning visible
This year, I tried out several strategies in my seventh grade English classroom to allow my students to see and hear one
another's ideas more often. The result was that they became more motivated and accountable, going above and beyond
my expectations. Their learning was richer, their ideas more creative, and their connections deeper. Now that I've
worked out all the "kinks" for you, I can't wait to share!

reducing Dropout rates – Digital Strategies and Solutions
Using decades of research, literacy experts know which approaches best facilitate the growth of student achievement in
reading and writing via personalized learning. But this can often be difficult to implement in the real world. Using
technology-based literacy tools can help bridge this gap. Digital reading curriculum delivered via mobile devices can
provide a means to increase student engagement, build stronger motivation, and facilitate retention of material. We will
examine the key aspects of a digital curriculum that will enhance student performance and, in turn, increase student
achievement. A brief demonstration of iLit, an innovative digital learning curriculum, from Pearson, will take place at the
end of the session.
