Educational Leadership & Technology

Recently we added a couple of new features to our school’s online profile. The ADE’s (Apple Distinguished Educators) who work at KIS decided to add a podcast to share our experiences with 1:1 education. Hopefully this will be a useful tool for us to share some of the awesome student, teacher, and administration work that has been accomplished so far at KIS. The Korea International School ADE podcast is open for business! The first episode is an interview with Rich Boerner our director about the reasons for going 1:1 and the successes and pitfalls of the process.

Also, we have a Youtube channel now up and running. We will be adding some content in the next few days. I was busy, busy, busy dealing with wave of student discipline last week as well as collecting samples of students’ digital work to display during the parent-teacher conference going on this week. The whole thing almost killed me, because I also came down with a cold in the process, but it is finished. The parents and students are enjoying watching the short movies I put together with iMovie about different things that have happened in the middle school this year. After the conferences I will upload the movies to the Youtube channel. The idea for making a school channel came from a colleague in Shanghai — thanks Amanda!
