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.

Everyone Can Create Challenges
For anyone who wants to follow along with our elementary Genius Squad program, click the links below for each challenge to see the details and resources for each iPad challenge if you want to share these resources with your students to do in class or independently.

I will continue to expand these challenge resources over the summer and throughout next fall so please keep checking back if you are interested in more resources similar to these.

Challenge #1


Students watched Oliver Jeffers for Apple Education video about drawing the world the way that you want to see it for Earth Day and then created their own enhanced photos of the environment around them with the aid of Markup on their iPads.
