Welcome everyone to another year of the AAMT Community of Practice (COP) group. As we begin our third year of the AAMT COP we would like to remind everyone of our goals: Participants in the AAMT Community of Practice will: - be agents in promoting transformational change with innovative and best practices. - explore and share the impact on students and their ability to use these Adobe products effectively in learning. - actively participate and contribute to the AAMT Community of Practice. To meet these goals, we will provide a number of engaging opportunities for you. - We will be continuing our Adobe Connect meetings once a month from 4:00 to 4:45 p.m. The format of these sessions will focus on sharing how Adobe tools are being used and the impact these tools are having on students in classrooms. We would like you to share stories from the classroom and your school of how these tools are leading to transformational change. As a Community of Practice we will have everyone within the project sign up for a date to share your experiences. This will allow us to structure the sharing, enabling all of us to learn how the tools are being used in a variety of grade levels and how we are reaching beyond our classroom walls. Our meeting dates will be on Tuesday for each month with the exception of our *first meeting* which will be held on *Monday October 27th.* October 27th, November 25th, December 9th, January 27th, February 24th, March 24th, April 21st May 12th. - Please visit the link below to sign up of our Adobe Connect sessions.
