Institute: A three-day institute to be held at UW-L this summer to
help School of Education Faculty/Staff become comfortable with
using iPads, and determine and develop various ways to integrate
the iPad into their teaching presentation and assignment design. The institute will include (day 1) an introduction to the
technology and how it works along with transforming classroom
practices with iPad content integration, followed by (day 2 and
day 3) activities designed around Apple Apps exploration,
assignment redesign, and discussion how curriculum changes might
happen to include iPads into more education classes
systematically.
Dates: Tuesday June 28, Wednesday June 29, and Thursday June
30.
Time: 8:30-4:30 (lunch noon-1pm, on your own)
Location: 102 Wing Technology Center
Presenter: Dan King
Dan has been
in K-12 education for 33 years. Originally as a highly successful secondary
Science teacher winning many awards and presenting at a multitude of
Conferences, Dan began to pursue a career in Instructional Technology. After a
completion of his Master’s Degree Program and State of WI licensing, Dan
continued his career in the School District of Onalaska as an Instructional
Technology Coordinator. Through the years, Dan’s innovative ideas have brought
many critical changes to the school district. Creation of the first
collaborative multimedia lab for middle school students, first wireless
implementation for mobile computing, a District wide training and implementation
of Smart Interactive White Boards (currently over 80 staff trained and using on
SmartBoards on a regular basis) and now the introduction of iOS devices through
iPad integration and training. Dan’s most recent accomplishments include
successfully completing the full implementation of the Apple VPP Program for iOS
devices, and immediately putting into practice the deployment training of 13
Program Facilitators and 14 End Users. Dan also provides graduate level
instruction focused on educational technology with staff in the Onalaska schools
and is a regular at Washburn Academy. Dan also teaches Technology Enhanced
Instruction at Viterbo University for the Post Baccalaureate Program. As Dan
retires from the Onalaska Schools in June, he will be joining Innovative
Educator Consulting and looking forward to learning more as well as sharing his
knowledge and expertise around the state.
