Professional Development for M.S. Educators
The MLTI is committed to supporting best instructional practices in literacy and numeracy. Middle school teachers across Maine are finding NoteShare to be a powerful tool for supporting literacy and numeracy in all subjects. In this workshop we will explore the NoteShare features and some of the pedagogical strategies we have found most useful in the classroom, view examples, and construct new notebooks.
Participants should come prepared with content ideas and materials to include in a notebook that they will construct during the course of the day (Please bring your laptops). We ask that you arrive between 8:30 and 8:45 to allow time to sign in and test the connectivity of your laptops. The training will begin promptly at 9:00 and end at 3:00. Lunch will be on your own.
