CA League of Middle Schools Technology Conference
This weekend, Jason and I lead a session about Cyber Bullying and Adina’s Deck at the CA League of Middle Schools Technology Conference.
It was our first time at a Conference, and we were very happy with the people we met! There were 25 educators: teachers, principals, technology coordinators in our group. Schools varied from all over California- from Bakersfield, to Pasadena to San Francisco. We were so impressed at the innovation and creativity of these educators. They worked tirelessly to improve the lives of their students. One educator, Stan Trevena, the author of PacificRim Exchange came to our session wrote this entry on his blog:
As I posted yesterday, I am down at a conference in Monterey for middle and high school educators. This morning I attended probably the best session to date for any conference I’ve attended (and I go to a few of them) dealing with cyber bullying. The session was on the film Adina’s Deck… This topic is of critical relevance to today’s teens, and yes even tweens. The production values and acting in this student film far surpass a lot of what is out there being shoveled on kids in this age demographic. The actresses were perfect for their roles and pulled in most of those who were in attendance at this morning’s session. You can read the entire entry here (http://pacificrimx.wordpress.com/)
We are so grateful to have met educators including Stan at our session. They are helping shed light on the topic of Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying. Jason and I really hope to attend and speak at the next CA League of Middle Schools Conference. Thanks so much to all of you who attended our session and we met at the conference. We learned so much from all of you!
