  Greetings!

  We are looking forward to our 3rd AATE gathering of the 2018-2019 school year, which will be held at Whitefield Academy in Smyrna, GA, on Tuesday, February 26, 2019. Click here to see the full agenda.
  
  Our keynote speaker will be Errika Moore, Executive Director for TAG-Ed (Technology Association of Georgia Education Collaborative; full bio here). Errika will share resources we have as Technology Educators that can open doors and opportunities for our students. After our business session, we will have 5 breakout sessions - 1) Follow-up with our Keynote, 2) Flipped Classroom in the Arts, 3) Innovation Lab STEAM Curriculum, 4) Digital Citizenship in Elementary Grades, and 5) IT Director's Roundtable. Please see the full agenda for descriptions. 

  Please share this email with educators whose contact information may be different as well as those who may be interested in joining us for the first time, including your colleagues who are not necessarily technology educators.
  
  Best wishes,
  Stacia McFadden
  AATE President

  Makey Makey is establishing a global network of training partners that are working to advance invention literacy worldwide. We are pleased to announce that via our affiliation with ISTE, AATE will be an official training partner. As a partner, we will deliver a one-day "Makey Makey Invention Literacy Workshop" on Saturday, December 8, 2018, where participants will leave having a "Train the Trainer" certificate of completion. Our goal is to have 60 trainers certified by 2020. These trainers will then be able to deliver Makey Makey workshops wherever they please. Learn more about the program here.
  

  Currently, space is open to 20 participants.

  Bring Your Laptop & Charging cable: Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Linux operating systems work great. Tablets will not work. Regardless of the kind of laptop used, it must have the ability to plugin a USB “type A” plug - - these are the most common type of USB plugs and it’s how the Makey Makey is connected to a computer. Some new laptops don’t accept a USB type A plug so the user must supply their own adaptor (“dongle”). 

  Everyone who attends receives a free Makey Makey Invention Kit, and if they stay through the end of the day, will also receive the Workshop Facilitator’s Guide.
