We regret to inform you that, due to the snowstorm we are cancelling Medfield’s Digital Learning Day. The Superintendent determined that the roads were not<br />
safe for our staff, students and parents as well as the staff of the 40+ districts scheduled to attend. We apologize if this has caused any inconvenience. We want to thank all the selfless presenters and student and parent volunteers who have been preparing diligently for this day and all the teachers who were<br />
planning to attend. Be safe out there.<br />

We are aware of the up-coming "sneak attack" storm and it's impact on Medfield's Digital Learning Day. We have discussed the situation thoroughly with Superintendent, Dr. Jeff Marsden and we would like to update you on our thoughts.</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: center;">
As of this moment, Digital Learning Day will proceed as planned. We plan to carefully watch and wait, hoping that the forecast will not get worse. It is critical that everyone is safe. Therefore Dr. Marsden will "make the call" should the conditions warrant it.</div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Over the last few week's we have been working really hard to ensure that this year's <b>Digital Learning Day</b> is the best one ever! We have taken many of your suggestions from last year into account and are planning a great day for you. There are over 75 sessions scheduled of which about 50 are being taught by Medfield staff (and 25 by other districts). We love all of the great work we are doing in Medfield, and want to share and connect with other districts. It's exciting that each year, our colleagues from other districts want to participate and look forward to this day as much as we do!</div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This year, one of the biggest changes is the way that you will register for courses. We are using an online scheduling/conference planning tool called "<b>Sched".</b> </div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Please follow the important instructions below:</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">You should receive an email from "Sched" in the next few days with an invitation to create your account. I strongly recommend creating that account ASAP and using your school email address as your username. If you are not able to log-in for some reason, please let Neal Sonnenberg know. Once into your account you may want to edit your profile or connect some social media to your account. Instructions to do that are <a href="https://sched.org/support/guide/sign-up-for-an-event/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a> (ignore the 'Create an Account' sections and scroll down)</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>By <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_89567694" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> (1/18)</b> we will have all the sessions scheduled with the corresponding times and descriptions. Although you will not be able to sign-up for sessions until <b><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_89567695" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span> (1/20) </b>you may want to make note of some of the sessions you are interested in.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_89567696" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Wednesday</span></span> afternoon (1/20)</b>, we will open up registration. Note that you will not be able to register for sessions until you have created your Sched account. </span></li>
<ul style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Unlike in prior years, you will have full control of your schedule; if you change your mind on what you want to attend simply unenroll from one session and enroll in another (up until around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_89567697" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Feb 1st</span></span>). This <a href="https://sched.org/support/guide/personalize-your-schedule/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">document </a>will show you how to navigate the Sched site and sign up for sessions once you have registered there.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">You'll notice capacity limits are set up on sessions based on room size or instructor preference or available technology; As a session starts to fill up you will see a message indicating that a session is 'filling' (indicating it is 75% full or more) or Full. Once Full, you have the option of getting on a wait list or just choosing another session.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b>On Friday(1/22)</b> we will open up registration to our outside guests attending, so please be sure to register for sessions prior to then.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><i>If you have any questions about anything DLD related, please see Neal, Diane, Debby or KIM your DLD power team!</i></span><br /><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<b>Medfield and Fellow MA Educators: Do You Feel Lucky?</b><br />
<a href="http://www.digitallearningday.org/site/default.aspx?PageID=11" target="_blank"> National Digital Learning Day</a> encourages educators from all over the world to connect, share and spread innovative practices in educational technology that help improve student learning outcomes and opportunities. Our district celebrates this message by holding our own DLD day! Feb. 5th will be an entire day filled with free professional development from <span style="font-family: inherit;">over 40 sessions being taught by Medfield teachers and another 20 sessions being offered by other tech superstars from neighboring districts. We are also thrilled to have Marta Da Silva McAlister from the Google for Education team as our keynote speaker.</span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greg's keynote "<b>Plato, Paper and iPads</b>" will help to explore the idea of "Are we losing anything when we go digital?" He will share the ideal iPad Backpack that blends a digital and analog (more traditional) approach to notetaking. For example, you can use your iPad to organize digital content AND use a paper notebook to capture ideas and sketch notes (even taking pics and dropping them into Google Drive or Evernote). Greg will help to answer the question of how can you keep your classroom hybrid? How can you merge online and offline work? How do you find tools that are flexible and thoughtful without letting those tools drive your work?</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Greg will also lead four other sessions throughout the day:</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Session 1: Follow-up the Keynote: Integrating Paper with iPads</span></div>

However, having an iPad is recommended. Apps that we will likely discuss and use include, but are not limited to: Evernote, Google Drive, DocScan, Scannable, Paper by 53, Post-it Plus by 3M.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many districts are developing 1:1 mobile device programs at the Middle School level. This year, Blake MS has expanded their 1:1 iPad program to every student from the 8th grade to include 6th & 7th! That means over 400 students are using iPads to learn! Wellesley MS is also starting a 1:1 iPad model at their 6th grade with the hopes to push it out to the entire middle school in the following years.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why not invite our colleagues from Wellesley Middle School to join us in a discussion of how the 1:1 rollout, classroom implementation, challenges & benefits, and tips & tricks they're learning along the way.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whether you are teaching in an iPad, Chromebook or BYOD environment, Google Classroom is a viable option to handle both Google Apps and non-Google workflow. Today, the Google Classroom IOS (and Android) app popped up in the respective app stores. This session will take you on a walk-through of the sparkly, new Google Classroom App!</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Session 5: Advanced Video Workshop</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student created video for the classroom is a powerful tool to have students express and demonstrate their understanding of complex topics. However, the video creation process can move beyond simple point and shoot to become a dynamic & collaborative process. The workshop will focus on various approaches to video creation on an iPad along with the "next steps" to video creation that include collaboration & publishing. From linked Choose Your Own Adventure creations to dynamic "app-smashing" video, participants will leave with a number of approaches and concepts to expand their use of video creation in the classroom.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This workshop is best suited for participants who are already comfortable with the concept of video creation in their classroom and have a solid understanding of iMovie, Explain Everything and Google Drive. Participants who attend the workshop should bring the following:iPad with the following apps installed iMovie & Google Drive, and various video creation apps of their choice that can all export to the camera roll.</span></div>

This year's proposals are in! The DLD planning team is full steam ahead and totally blown away with our teachers' willingness to participate in the day and with the terrific session topics offered! With each year, we strive to evolve &amp; improve based on your feedback... believe me when I say.. DLD will not disappoint!</div>

From the session topics, you can see that over these past three years, we as a district are continually growing.. not just in technology but our teaching practices and taking that risk to transform learning to make it more student-focused, connected and collaborative.<br />
<br />
That's not all.. we also have a theme that represents where our district is this year. After some searching on Pinterest :) for quotes and ideas, there was one that caught my eye and works perfectly! (sorry, I didn't pin it and can't remember where the source of it's creative mind was from).<br />

Each year our goal is to make <b>Digital Learning Day</b> most beneficial to you! A survey was sent out a few weeks ago asking for suggestions of the type of sessions that you would find most useful. <br />
<br />
What are the things you want to know about that will help you out in either your professional or personal life? <br />
<br />
Was there a session you missed last year that you want run again? ....Think outside of the box, list anything and everything that you would like to learn! <br /><br /><br />Thought we'd share those results as you consider submitting a proposal for a presenting at DLD day! As you can see, anything Google at the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels are in high demand! Remember please <u>do not</u> feel like you're tied to <b>ONLY</b> these topics! In fact, you may have stumbled across something new or a great workflow that no one has thought of yet! <br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is simply to get you thinking!</div>

Hi Medfield Educators,</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Friday's Digital Learning Day is less than 24 hours away. I</b>n order to make the day a success, please keep in mind the following:</div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">We will be starting at <b><span style="color: purple;">8:00 </span></b>in the HS Auditorium. Please try to get to the High School a few minutes early. Dr. Marsden will be starting the day promptly at 8:15. The day will be over by 3:00. </li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">If you are bringing your own device, please bookmark the Medfield Digital Learning Day blog in your browser - <a href="http://dldmedfield.blogspot.com/"><span class="s1">http://dldmedfield.blogspot.com/</span></a> . This will be the main portal where you can access presentations, see your schedule for the day, win prizes (yes, I said that, and there are MANY more than last year!) and a whole lot more.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Some of the teachers of the sessions have been sending out information to participants about apps to download, or surveys to fill out, or content to bring. Please make every effort to do your 'homework' as that will help the sessions stay on track tomorrow. Our presenters have been working extremely hard (even during their snow day) to ensure high quality content for you.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">If you are bringing your own device, please make sure that your device is fully charged or that you bring in the necessary charging equipment. We will provide instructions on how to connect to the wifi.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">In some sessions you will create projects for your classes. Please have lesson content available to you either via the web, flash drives or on your computer (if using your own device) or shared to the network (if using a school laptop).</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Laptops and iPads will be made available in the classrooms that are requiring them. If you do not have the specific device, you can just grab one once you are in the class. All school equipment (laptops, iPads) needs to stay in the room where the sessions are being taught.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Lunch is being provided by the District (yah!); during lunch, the student run Help Desk (the Wifi Warriors) will be available to help you out with any of your technology needs/questions. They are located in the HS LMC. This is also a good time to collaborate with colleagues about tech projects you are working on.</li>
</ul>
<div class="p1">
If you have any questions or concerns about Friday, please let Diane, Neal, Mary Q or me know. </div>
<div class="p1">
I sincerely hope you enjoy our Digital Learning Day!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thanks so much,</div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
Kim</div>

Hi Medfield Educators,<br />
<br />
The countdown is at 2 days! We're all excited and trying to make last minute preparations for a successful day. I wanted to share a few tips that you can do to help out too.<br />
<br />
<b>First, </b>if you have not signed up for sessions, the google form is officially closed. You will have to email Neal or Diane with your selections. Please be mindful in not choosing sessions that are already closed. <br />
<br />
<b>Second</b>, if you plan on bringing a PC laptop, we'll need to adjust some settings in order for you to connect to our WIFI network. Either bring your laptop into school tomorrow and see your building's tech aide or plan on dropping it off with our help desk first thing on Friday to get you connected.<br />
<br />
<b>Third, </b>some presenters will be emailing you information about their session pertaining to signing up for an account or installing specific apps. This will allow for more time exploring and learning about the topic rather than installing and getting signed in.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth</b> please know your school google login and apple username/pw. Write it down or type it in the notes app to make the day go smoother.<br />
<br />
<b>AND lastly,</b> don't forget to fully charge your devices the night before and bring a charger with you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>Thanks! & Happy Snow Day!</b></span></div>

<div class="p1">
We are very excited to announce that you may now sign-up for sessions for the 2nd annual <b>Digital Learning Day on February 7th</b>. Please read the message below before signing up for any sessions! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Goals for the day</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
This year we have some amazing presentations lined up, taught by your colleagues. Please use this day to learn more about something you already know but also to try something new and step out of your comfort zone. As you know technology is here to stay in Medfield, so please use this day to improve your own knowledge and what you can do in the classroom. If you need help determining what might be a good session for you, please email Diane or Neal and we can help you out.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">About the Day</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
We have made some changes in the day based on feedback from last year. This year there are 5 sessions varying in length from 45 to 75 minutes. As we are also a Google Apps for Education school and are heavily invested in the iPad as a learning tool, you will see many sessions geared in that direction. Please take advantage of your colleagues expertise. </div>
<div class="p2">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Lunch will be provided and will occur during sessions 3 and 4. During that time you can take a class in session 3 and eat lunch in session 4; or eat lunch during session 3 and go to a class in session 4; or you could take your lunch with you and go to session 3 and 4. We wanted to give you as many opportunities as possible to learn.</div>
<div class="p2">
<b></b><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Information about the Sessions</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
All the information you need to know about the day's sessions can be found on the tabs at the top of this page. </div>

<b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Sign-up Information</span></b></div>
<div class="p1">
Before you sign-up for sessions, please read the following important information:</div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">You will be signing up by accessing a Google form. <b><i>This form is only accessible when logged into your school google account. If you are not logged into your account you will be prompted to do so. Remember that your username is firstinitiallastname@mail.medfield.k12.ma.us. </i></b><br />If you do not know how to log-in to your school google account or are having password problems, please see the tech aid in your school.</li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">As with last year we will be capping the # of participants in each session, so it is really important that you sign up for sessions as soon as possible. <b>The last day to sign up for sessions is Monday, February 3rd.</b></li>
</ul>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1"><b>If your Content Specialist or Principal has asked you to attend a specific session, please make sure that you sign up accordingly.</b></li>
<li class="li1">On the last page of the google form there is an option to have a copy of your responses sent to you. Please make sure that is selected. (See image below). This will send a copy of your sessions you signed up for into your school Gmail account.</li>

<br />
These past two years, much of our professional development has introduced the idea of '<b>Building your own PLN</b>' and discovering how <b>Twitter</b> can be a powerful tool that enables us to connect-build those relationships and to share information, ideas, resources and experiences! <br />
<br />
One experience we would love to share with each other and beyond to our PLNs is our upcoming <b style="background-color: cyan;"> Digital Learning Day conference</b>-- a day filled with learning & sharing & more than 40+ workshops!<br />
<br />
<br />
If you have a twitter account, please enter your twitter handle in the form below. I will add it to the current list that continues to grow: <a href="https://twitter.com/techmonstah/medfield-tweeters/members">MEDFIELD EDUCATORS ON TWITTER</a> which helps us to follow each other. <i>(*If you see your name and prefer not to be included on the list, please send me an email and I will remove it. No worries.)</i><br />

Second, we are using the hashtag <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>#DLDMedfield </b> </span>for any tweets that have to do with our <b>Digital Learning Day</b>-- that could mean before, on or after that day. You may try tweeting as you and your co-presenters work together to prepare for your workshop or if your students are preparing to showcase a project that day, etc.. On the day is a great time for you to basically tweet about your experience in workshops or interacting with each other. After the day, feel free to tweet about any ideas or thoughts you had in applying what you learned!</div>
<br />
There will be a running <b>Twitter Feed of the hashtag <span style="background-color: yellow;">#DLDMedfield</span></b><span style="background-color: yellow;"> </span>on this blog as an easy way to check what's being tweeted --even for those who do not have a twitter account. See the tab at the top of the blog.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any questions...do not hesitate to ask. Let's start Tweeting!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">We heard you & we're delivering! This year's conference schedule has been posted with a few changes. In order to accommodate the large number of teachers during lunch AND to offer an additional session, we broke lunch up into 2 different times. You'll either attend Lunch 1 and then Session 3 or vice versa.</span></div>

The day will be filled with 25+ technology-focused sessions presented by your own colleagues with a few new wait-to-see additions to day! You get to pick the sessions to attend that will best impact your personal growth and teaching in the classroom. The success of the sessions though depends on our presenters and that is why we are asking you to <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HgDR1WR4HAyVJf458R9WjHllVuK4d_hmD3O6jQwSVA8/viewform"><span class="s1">submit a proposal</span></a> to present at the digital learning day.<br />
