Quick.  When it comes to your use of technology -- both in the classroom and at home -- where have you been and, more importantly, where are you going?  What path are you following?  Tough questions, aren't they?  This one hour presentation will (hopefully) help you lift your technology blinders and point you towards the technology finish line.
Session #: 38
Title:  Pedagogy of Passion
Presenter(s) :  Norma Thornburg and David Thornburg
Room: Chatham BallRm C
Strand: Featured Speaker
Every time a teacher interacts with students, the teacher’s feelings about the subject are conveyed along with the content.  Unless educators convey their passion for the topics they teach, the risk having students lose enthusiasm for the topics being studied.  This presentation explores the importance of passion and illustrates what can happen when students are passionate about their studies.  By exploring several topics, including a five-year project in history involving up to 15,000 students, concrete examples of the pedagogy of passion will be demonstrated in a way that allows participants to keep the flame of passionate learning alive in themselves and their students. (repeat session 103)

Room: Auditorium
Strand: Featured Speaker
Okay – everyone wants to follow copyright when it comes to using music in video and multimedia productions, right?  But do you know where to find the professional-sounding music that your students want and your productions deserve, and still stay out of jail?  This session explores production music in the school setting.  You’ll learn how to order free demo CDs, and you’ll hear music from some of the leading companies.  Also: a demonstration of software that lets you create your own custom music with just a few mouse-clicks.  Handouts include company lists and web-sites.  Everyone is welcome.  Dancing optional.
