This video of Elvis Presley singing, Viva, Las Vegas! may be from the 1960's, but he still says it all! |
why las vegas?
We believe in caring for the "whole educator". For this reason we deliberately offer our regional workshops in locations that far exceed the need for just a meeting room and a speaker. We design and implement professional development experiences that are authentically 21st century, interactive, enormously informative and FUN! No sit and get lectures here!
BEYOND the workshop itself are the needs, interests and unique talents of the educators who attend our workshops. We therefore select environments that will also nurture the attendees; these environments are varied, but all offer important historical, cultural, entertainment, environmental and dining opportunities that you do not have at home! Here are a few of the opportunities awaiting you in Las Vegas - and while we know that you will be enriched by the whole experience, think about how each of the following experiences will provide you with excellent resources and ideas to take back to your students, colleagues and community!
As you examine each of these take moment to consider the connections to 21st century skills as well as to content standards!
Note: When designing curriculum based upon, or including, any of the following resources it is very simple to include multiple ways to develop all of the 21st century skills: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Curiosity, Adaptability, Agility, Initiative and Entrepreneurialism. While all of the literacies may be addressed at some level for any theme, we are suggesting below those literacies with the strongest alignment. Please see the hints we have provided for you on connecting to the Multiple Literacies and the Content Standards :-)
