Global Learning, PD and More!

1.  Skype- Pennridge Around the World!

Look where we've been!  

The Pennridge Around the World website has been updated throughout the year.  When you visit the Skype website, you'll see this map is full of "pins on top of pins" in the USA, and you can click each one for a description of the Skype that can be found at that location.

If you have a Skype that you'd like to add, please complete the form.  If you have yet to Skype in your classroom, please let us help you make a worldly contact next school year!

2.  If you are interested in some professional learning opportunities over the summer, consider these:

Microsoft Educator Community

  • A reminder, the Microsoft Educator Community is a wonderful resource for Skype presentations, but also for Professional Learning.  The courses on the Microsoft Educator Community can be taken for Act 48 hours, too!  (Make sure you are logged into the community using your Office 365 credentials:  E#####@psd.pennridge.org and your password is your computer password).
Here are just a few that might interest you:

Seesaw


Although Seesaw won't have any live seminars until July/August, we recommend the recorded sessions found here which are organized by grade levels:  K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9 and up.  

Mimio

Boxlight Mimio offers quick and easy recorded sessions, as well.  If you have a Mimio, or are considering one in your classroom, these sessions are great.  To make the most of them, we suggest having the software loaded onto your teacher device.  If you need this done before the end of the year, please email Erin or Chris.

3.  21st Century Learning Night-

More pictures have been added- take a moment to look at a few pictures from the event! 

We hope everyone has a wonderful summer vacation.  See you in August.
