Eight former Allisonville students spent part of their fall break with Mr. Auslander, attending the 2013 Indiana Computer Educators (ICE) Conference in downtown Indianapolis. Sixth graders Maggie Maguire, Avery Walker, Lainey Paynter, Lilly Franzini, Madelyn Colcord, Jackson Breman, Davin Juerling, and Jack Faler all attended the event, with the goal of helping Indiana teachers learn about various apps and websites that might help them better integrate technology into their classroom instruction. Teachers attending the conference know the value of getting students’ perspective on how technology tools help make learning more engaging.  “Our students were born into a high-tech society,” says 5th grade Allisonville teacher Steve Auslander. “Since most aspects of their life embrace the digital age, shouldn’t also their classroom?” To learn more about the ICE conference, click here:
