Are you a gadget head? Do you surf the net or listen closely to geeks talking in hopes of
hearing about a cool software product or gizmo? Leslie Fisher (Gadget Freak) will show
you some of her favorite hardware and software gadgets that do everything from make
your life easier to provide piles of fun. Hardware, software and even completely off topic
gadgets will be discussed.
About Leslie Fisher

Leslie Fisher’s interest in technology began while studying music at the University of
Southern California. She quickly realized the value of utilizing computers for music mixing
and recording. She grabbed her 300 baud modem, jumped on the Internet (before anyone
really called it the internet) and started looking for music resources. She soon realized she
was spending more time discovering technology than playing music so she changed her

major and tried to figure out what geeky thing she could do for the rest of her life.

After graduating from USC with a Business and Marketing degree in 1989 and a quick stint as a Trainer, Leslie joined Apple
Computer in 1992. When the Internet took off in 1994, Leslie was one of the first Apple employees assigned to study Internet
growth and implementation.
In 1997, Leslie was roadkill on Apple’s road to recovery and part of their massive layoff. Leslie planned to spend most of her huge
severance package golfing and waiting a few months to look for a job. The day after her layoff, her phone began to ring with
Apple customers requesting consulting, training and presentation services. Before she could say fore, Fisher Technologies Inc. was
created to help educators with their technology implementations and decisions.
Fisher Technologies Inc. is now a worldwide company (meaning one employee named Leslie gets to travel the world teaching)
specializing in Web Development, Web Tools as well as Digital Photography, Editing and Workflow.

Monday Keynote Session
8:15 - 9:30 am Building the International Space Station
Ballroom A Dr. Jack Bacon - NASA
We’ll explore the international partnership that has led to the largest peacetime engineering
project in history, the future scenario without the shuttle, and some of the challenges
ahead as we look to extend its life for many more productive years.
About Dr. Jack Bacon

Jack Bacon has often been called “A New Carl Sagan.” He is an internationally-known
motivational speaker, a distinguished lecturer (emeritus) of the American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and one of the most requested speakers in the
world for topics concerning technology and the factors that shape human society. A noted
futurist and a technological historian, he has written three popular books entitled My
Grandfathers’ Clock, My Stepdaughter’s Watch, and The Parallel Bang, with many thousands
of copies sold of each. A fourth: Killer Apps for the Green Global Village is in the works.
His lectures have captivated tens of thousands of all ages in thirty-two countries on six
continents, and he has appeared on numerous radio and television broadcasts. In his daily
work, he is on the management team overseeing the construction and operation of the
www.Drjackbacon.com
most complicated technical project in history: the International Space Station.
A graduate of Caltech (B.S. ‘76) and the University of Rochester (Ph.D. ‘84) his extensive career includes roles in the development
of many cutting edge technologies, including controlled thermonuclear fusion, the development of the electronic office, factory
automation, and the globalization of business. He pioneered the deployment of several artificial intelligence systems, learning his
craft at the famed Xerox Palo Alto Research Center.
He was the United States’ lead systems integrator of the Zarya, the jointly-built spacecraft that forms the central bridge and
adapter between all US and Russian technologies on the Space Station. This landmark in technological history was built in
Moscow by American and Russian engineers and launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in November 1998.
Jack is a fellow of the Explorer’s Club, a member of the AIAA, the National Speakers Association, the International Federation
of Professional Speakers, Engineers Without Borders, and Rotary International. He was a founding member of the board of
directors of the Science National Honor Society (www.ScienceNHS.org). Among his numerous awards, he is a recipient of NASA’s
Exceptional Achievement Medal, the Director’s Special Commendation, and the coveted Silver Snoopy award-the only award to
fly in space. He routinely advises numerous academic programs and institutions, and he is a champion of education throughout
the world.
When he’s not on the road, Jack cherishes his time together with Kathleen: his lifelong love since high school, found five states
away after 27 years apart. (You’ve gotta love the Internet!)
ISTE’s making it happen is an internationally

recognized awards program for educators in
the field of educational technology integration
in K-12 schools. The program identifies
and rewards educational technology leaders
around the world for their commitment and innovation.
TIE is proud to be presenting two deserving individuals
with this outstanding award during the Sunday and Monday

9:45 Always Hovering Around: The Homework Vampire – Villainous or Vital?
Room 7 Jo Hartmann - TIE
Homework has its devotees and its detractors. Each side can present a sound case but most educators would agree that homework
can suck the energy out of them every night as they pore over papers and enter grades. Neither a liberal dose of garlic nor a stake
through the heart of a pile of uncorrected assignments seems to work. Discover where homework came from, what its purposes
should be, how to encourage the return of completed homework, how much it should count in grading, how other countries
handle the homework dilemma and also have some of your additional queries answered. Or perhaps you can contribute some
answers to the discussion. Tame your vampire in this session.

10:55 Comics, Graphic Novels and Online Comic Creation Sites

Room 13 Mark Geary - Dakota State University
Adolescent Literacy is one of the hottest topics in literacy education today, and graphic novels and comics are widely viewed as
a point of engagement for disinterested youth. This presentation will discuss why graphic novels are important, as well as how
students can create comics and storyboards digitally and online without artistic expertise. While much attention has been given
to the value of having students be visually literate readers for the 21st century, less attention has been given to how they can be
content producers. By learning how to write comics, using any content the instructor chooses, students learn how to interact
with literacy materials and to share what they have learned online, all without html skills or even artistic creation skills. Whether
the student is producing a book, a movie or analyzing the content of their course textbook, understanding how to write in comic
format gives them greater insight into how movies are made (with storyboarding) and how to express themselves in a visual
medium. Participants attending this breakout session will become more informed on the value and uses of the comic/graphic
novel format, as well as several online resources that can enable students to quickly and easily “write” comics.

use with students in the K-12 classroom. Internet resources will be given for productivity, creativity, graphics, presentation tools,
content areas, educational games, music, art and some sites that are just plain fun. This will be a fast-paced presentation as we
briefly look at some of the sites together. Some of the web sites will have free on-line or downloadable programs for instructional
use. Other web sites may require you to pay a small fee. In addition, we will be covering sites and resources that will have
particular usefulness for individuals who work in special education or who have learners with unique learning styles. These sites
and applications may contain auditory output for auditory learners, or text combined with graphics for visual learners. Please
bring any ideas of free web sites that you have found to be useful for use in the classroom to share with others. You may even get
a great idea for keeping yourself occupied during breaks at the TIE Conference!
Classroom Teachers • Technology Across the Curriculum
10:55 HELP Close the Achievement Gap in Math
Exhibit Hall A Sandy Pringle - Tools For Schools
A demonstration and discussion on how embedded sheltered instruction principles and a focus on developing academic vocabulary
has proven to increase both math and ELA achievement in ELL and special education learners. While most efforts at improving
results for ELL learners focus on reading and language arts, math achievement has lagged. According to the most recent NAEP
results, fewer than four in ten fourth- and eighth-graders are proficient in mathematics; up to 70% of ELL learners fail to reach
proficiency in math. This session will present a research-based and engaging web-based intervention originally designed for ELL
learners. It has been shown to increase math proficiency for all struggling students by using embedded sheltered instruction
techniques, with a strong focus on developing academic vocabulary. Developed according to the principles of Sheltered Instruction
and SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol), HELP Math for ELL is effective for students in grades 3-8 who need to
develop academic language and prior math knowledge in order to achieve proficiency. These same techniques have been proven to
be equally effective and able to make a difference for special needs students. HELP Math is the only web-based math intervention
specifically designed for ELL learners. Shown to address the needs of all students struggling to reach math proficiency, it has
received the highest rating of any technology product by the US Department of Education’s GPRA review for three consecutive
years. Suggestions for implementing research-based strategies that increase student achievement will be also be presented.

10:55 South Dakota’s Response to Intervention
Room 7 Susan Sletto - Response To Intervention & Becky Cain - Positive Behavior Intervention Support
Response to Intervention (RtI) is a systems change approach that uses scientifically-based research methods to improve student
success and school climate by supporting staff and students using positive and proactive instruction and strategies. This session
will define the RtI approach for academics and behavior (also known as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, PBIS).
RtI is the practice of providing high quality instruction/intervention matched to student needs and progress monitoring, and
making important educational and behavioral decisions. The project has a combined total of 34 pilot schools implementing RtI
which address either the academic or behavior elements, four sites are addressing both areas. Participants will be on different
levels of understanding and application of the RtI process. Discussion will center briefly on how implementation of RtI typically
proceeds through 3 stages and will explore the essential components of a strong RtI delivery system as outlined by the state of SD.

10:55 Teaching Students How to Solve Problems

Room 14 Terri Cordrey - Partners For The 21st Century & Vicki Henschel - Britton-Hecla School District
From his book Teaching for Tomorrow, Ted McCain poses the following question. “What skills will students need after they graduate
from high school to be successful in the world of technologically driven change in the 21st Century?” The author believes that
technology skills are secondary in importance to problem solving skills. Regardless of what technology students have at their disposal
in the future, problem-solving skills will be the critical factor that determines their success. Teachers from the Partners for the 21st
Century, a Title II Part D Ed Tech grant, will share techniques on how to incorporate the 4 Ds of Problem Solving: Define, Design,
Do, and Debrief into your classroom. Cohort teachers will share tips on how to write ill-structured problems and how to incorporate
role playing scenarios, discuss new ways to evaluate student work, and explain how technology tools are used to enhance the lesson.

Ballroom A Angela Maiers
Web 2.0 and emerging technologies have provided us with a new platform to engage,
communicate, and connect in unprecedented ways. But, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Web 3.0 presents an entirely new way of seeking and sharing meaning. As facts become
obsolete faster and information continues to exponentially grow, literacy and basic
technology skills are not enough. Web 3.0 demands a new fluency; a new understanding
of how knowledge is created, constructed, and shared.
Together we will examine several emerging trends that will profoundly challenge our
fundamental assumptions of what it means to be a learner, teacher, and citizen in the
21st Century. I will lay out what is most essential to know and teach as we all prepare to
operate in this new world.
www.angelamaiers.com
www.twitter.com/AngelaMaiers
Join me as we challenge one another to think deeply about the answers to the following
questions, but more importantly to push one another to ask new ones:
• What lies ahead for learners as the web continues to evolve and change?
• What challenges and opportunities do we face in a Web 3.0 world?
• What are the implications for current methods of teaching, learning, and assessment?
About Angela
I am proud of my 20-year career in education, especially the years I spent as a classroom teacher. I am currently working as an
independent consultant dedicated and committed to helping DOE’s, schools, districts and teachers reach their goals in literacy
and literacy education.
I feel fortunate for the opportunities and extensive experiences I have had working with educators. I spend my time teaching,
researching, writing, speaking, and conducting seminars across the country in the areas of literacy, learning, and 21st century
education. My work is featured in the National Research Council Yearbook, multiple professional journals, and most recently in
Urban Schools Most Promising Practices, published by the International Reading Association.
As an author of several books, articles, and curriculum support materials, I continually strive to connect research and scientific
theory to real world practices. My classroom demonstrations and direct work with students, keeps me grounded in ensuring that
the research base stays within the context of real classrooms and schools.
For the past six years, I have created, developed, and organized multiple literacy institutes reaching thousands of educators across
the United States. These summer institutes provide an innovative and unique venue for educators, administrators, and curriculum
developers. Every student reaches their highest literacy and learning potential when they are led by such knowledgeable and
passionate leaders.
Connecting higher education and the work done in schools, I have spent years working at the undergraduate and graduate level
teaching courses in reading, content area reading, emergent literacy, and assessment.
I received my bachelor’s degree from University of Iowa and did my graduate and post graduate work at Drake University.
I currently live in Clive, Iowa with my husband and two children, Ryan and Abigail and our dog, Buttons.

11:30 Parent Involvement in the Middle/High School Years

Room 2 Lori Laughlin - SD Parent Information and Resource Center
Parent involvement at school decreases across the middle and high school years. This is due in part to their child’s increasing desire
for greater independence and the changes in the organization and structure of schools. Recent research published in the Journal of
Developmental Psychology (Spring 2009) shows that parent involvement during the middle and high school years remains critically
important to student learning and higher rates of postsecondary enrollment. In short, parents matter and the types of supports
they can provide contribute significantly to student success. Participants in this session will be provided with information and
ideas on how to effectively connect with middle/high school parents at the both the classroom and school level.

11:30 Recursive Writing in the One-to-One Classroom
Room 6 Bryon Christian - Hill City School District
While the digital age has introduced a myriad of tools for the classroom, it has also ushered in a casual carelessness for the student
writer in the high school classroom. Instead of redrafting with paper and pen, students can copy, paste, and delete their way
through a writing assignment in record time. One effect of this has been a watering down of the recursive writing process in favor
of a more linear one: draft, edit, present. The implication of this for the instructor-as it is with the use of all technology-is to be
inventive in our implementation. Through the use of a few common tools, participants will not only realize a streamlining of the
recursive writing process but a substantive improvement in the quality of writing by their students as well. A collaborative approach
to the writing process while utilizing 21st Century skills will be the primary focus. Tangential to this is the task of making all of this
work in a paperless classroom. Participants will also learn to incorporate other genres of presentation-video, audio, graphic design-
as a function of student writing. The roles of students and teachers alike in avoiding plagiarism will also be discussed. Participants
can expect to leave this presentation armed with tools that will effect change in their classes. Specific software employed includes
relatively commonplace tools-Word, Windows Journal, and student monitoring software. While the specific environment targeted
is a one-to-one classroom with tablets, the strategies outlined will be german to the general classroom.

Established in 1986 as a regional, non-profit project, Technology and Innovation in Education (TIE) is administered by Black
Hills Special Services Cooperative, an intermediate educational agency. It is TIE’s mission to serve as a source of professional
development that assists and empowers educational communities to respond productively and responsibly in a networked global
society. On an annual basis, TIE provides professional development activities for more than 10,000 educators across the region.
TIE has a membership structure designed to address specific needs of South Dakota schools. Nearly 100% of school districts
and public universities in South Dakota, and many in surrounding states, choose to participate in the TIE membership program.
In addition to ongoing work responding to a diversity of school needs, TIE administers a host of major grants programs at the
state and federal level. TIE has established a strong reputation as a collaborative partner and progressive leader committed to
helping schools build essential capacity for improving teaching and learning in these changing times. Noted as a change agent,
TIE “walks the talk” by modeling effective processes for accomplishing meaningful organization development and change. TIE
leaders appreciate the challenges facing practioners in the field and strive to identify practical, meaningful strategies for applying
the learnings of sound educational research to teaching and learning in classrooms.
TIE offers online workshops free of charge to faculty members in TIE Member schools. They provide the content most in
demand through an asynchronous format that works for the busy schedules of teachers, administrators, and other education
professionals. Many workshops even have the opportunity for graduate credit. TIE strives to stay on the cutting-edge, developing
new workshops with a focus on technology integration, 21st Century skills, and content-based strategies. All of our professional
development activities strive to meet the standards set by the National Staff Development Council, while addressing the needs
of adult learners.
TIE also offers exclusive technology integration training options for schools and districts, all of which may be customized
based on specific needs. Potential topics include: blogs, web literacy for effective research, visual literacy, collaboration, digital
footprint, Internet safety and virtual learning environments. Format options include face-to-face workshops, webinars, online
workshops developed for a faculty/staff with Elluminate support, and ongoing staff development with a combination of on site
and online for a series of days (hybrid).
