ISTELive 22 - Level Up Tech Skills With Student Technology Leaders

Join me at the ISTELive 22 Conference for my session on Level Up Technology Skills With Student Tech Leaders to learn more about how to empower students to teach others new technology skills!

Need to teach your students technology skills for in-person classroom, distance, hybrid, or online learning? Let them teach each other! 

Our student Genius Squad tech teams learned new tech skills, leveled up and earned badges as they moved through synchronous and asynchronous course resources, and put their skills to work through service learning to support their teachers and classmates. Check out the work of our elementary Genius Squads and resources that helped them level up their skills and created an interest in computer science careers.

Impact Education 2021 - Level Up With Student Tech Leaders

Need to teach your students technology skills for distance, hybrid, or classroom learning? Let them teach each other!




Our student Genius Squad tech teams learned new tech skills, put their skills to work through service learning to support their teachers and classmates by running iPad help desks at their schools pre-COVID-19, and ran virtual help desks during distance learning. 

I am honored to present with two of our great Genius Squad advisors, Joe Larsen and Megan Tracy, and some of the Genius Squad students from E-STEM Middle School to highlight our Genius Squad program and the virtual help desk that students have been running.

Join us and check out the work of our elementary, middle, and high school Genius Squads and resources that helped them level up their skills and created an interest in computer science careers.
