Just Add Games
Monday July 13, 2026 11:00am - 11:50am CDT
Room 17
The presentation explores the use of math games in secondary classrooms (6-12). Put those digital devices away because are talking actual games! We will be exploring how games can enhance student engagement and reinforce foundational skills that can be helpful in their current learning. Attendees will be able to participate in actual game play and debrief and collaborate on how they see these fitting into their current classroom environment.

Secondary students often lose the opportunity for play within the classroom and show a decreased motivation in mathematics. Math games provide an opportunity for active learning, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and giving all learners the chance at low-stakes practice.

Unleashing Kami's Hidden Power - Beyond the Basics
Tuesday July 14, 2026 9:00am - 9:50am CDT
Room 17
Ready to move past simple highlighting? While many use Kami as a digital pen and paper, its true potential lies in its robust accessibility and multimedia suites. In this 50-minute deep dive, we will explore the Understand Menu—a powerhouse of inclusive tools like the Picture Dictionary, AI-powered Summarizer, and the "Relevel" feature that instantly adjusts text complexity to meet every learner where they are.We’ll also shift from "consuming" to "creating." You'll learn how to transform static assignments into dynamic portfolios using the Screencast and Video Recorder features. See how students can "think out loud" to demonstrate mastery, and how teachers can provide personalized, high-impact video feedback that saves time and builds stronger classroom connections.
Session Highlights:
  • The Accessibility Advantage: Master the "Understand" tools to support ESL/ELL and diverse learners with instant translation, decoding, and reading level adjustments.
  • Show, Don't Just Tell: Use the Screen Capture and Video Comment tools to capture student voice and authentic evidence of learning.
