CCDS’s thINK Tank on Tablet PCs

Take Tablet PCs to the limit! Expand your technology integration imagination at Cincinnati Country Day School’s INKstitute—a new kind of summer conference for a breakthrough tool.

• Begin with our most traditional offering: an anchoring talk about where CCDS started with digital ink, what’s become foundational in our preK – 12 classrooms, and where we’re headed.
• Move on to a day of collaborative workshops on facets of our program, from synchronized learning with OneNote to revolutionizing administrative computing.
• Continue with half-day immersions into pedagogical themes and their technological underpinnings.
• And throughout the three days, feast your body with the best Cincinnati can offer, while shaping up with optional weights, walks, and daily yoga!

Our conference offers opportunities for classroom teachers, school administrators, and IT personnel.
