Amanda Cardenas (Mud and Ink Teaching) and Kyle Etheridge will present on Friday October 21st at 11:30am at the IATE Fall 2016 Conference.  Below is the program description of their presentation.  We hope to see you there!

Evolving the SCOPE of Literacy

In the traditional classroom, we have only 50 minutes to work through content.  As all teachers know, this is never enough time.  Some schools have gone to the "flipped classroom" model, but that can take a lot of effort and time to craft and film lessons for students to watch at home.  Enter:  PERISCOPE.  A brand new app from the engineers at Twitter.  Periscope is a live broadcasting app that allows the broadcaster to capture live video and share it with a "room" full of viewers.  Some people will "periscope" their musical talents, "periscope" their travel stories around the world, but for us, "periscope" is now a verb that means - EXTEND our classrooms.

Join us for Episode 2 of the Lesson Design Detours - Formative Assessment.  On today's episode, Amanda will demonstrate a new formative assessment tool to add to your teaching arsenal called "Odd One Out".  Join us on Periscope at 5pm CST or catch the replay on our YouTube channel.
