iPads in Math=A Love for Problem Solving
I will share apps that my students love to use to learn mathematics in my classroom. The great thing about the apps I will share is they are easy to use, they are free and they can be used from beginning to end in less than one class period. I will also share other online resources that can be used on the iPads or on a computer.

Analyzing and Remixing Free Digital Comics in the Secondary Classroom
Previous research has found that resources such as comic books and graphic novels can be used to encourage reluctant readers to read. These resources are readily available, but can be costly. Some comic books, such as those that first published in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, were not copyrighted, or the copyright has expired, and can be freely used for projects. This presentation will discuss how free digital comic books can be modified using free graphical editing software to encourage students to read more, critically view messages in the text, consider historical elements, and remix to create new works.

Personalizing Learning for the Gamer Generation
As schools adapt to new technologies and new possibilities, they're also adapting a new generation of students: the gamer generation. These young millennials have grown up surrounded by games and ubiquitous media, and they bring to the classroom certain assumptions that adults in the school may not share. In this session, we'll explore certain generational assumptions present in schools--including assumptions from your generation--and talk about the implications of those assumptions on school and technology policies. We'll close with a discussion among participants of how schools are personalizing learning for this new generation.
