EVERFI (everfi.com/k-12) offers online learning to provide students with critical life skills beyond the classroom. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, every EVERFI program is offered to K12 schools across the country at no cost. Starting as an education technology company with one program on personal finance for high school, EVERFI has expanded to offer additional elementary, middle, and high school programs on financial capability, STEM, SEL, digital citizenship, health and wellness, summer learning loss prevention, and more. Each online program is standards-aligned and designed to support existing curriculum. Students work 1:1 on a device through game-based lessons and complete pre- and post-assessments that are self-graded and reported to teachers in real time. In this session, attendees will learn of the different programs available by grade level and topic. Attendees will be able to create their teacher account, explore the programs and offline resources, and plan integration with existing units or new ones. This session is recommended for educators who have regular access to technology and are looking for blended classroom resources.

The real world is not flat after all, so why constrain our classrooms to experience the digital world on a flat screen? The shift from 2D to 3D immersive learning is as natural as adding color to movies and television was in the 1950’s. In many ways, it is even more impactful. Virtual Reality is transforming education. What started out as something that was simply “cool” has become a way to engage learners like never before. Imagine the possibilities…you are teaching children about dinosaurs and suddenly with the help of a VR headset, there is a life-sized one in front of their eyes. Your kids can view the International Space Station while floating in space or learn about Africa by riding a canoe through a small village. The possibilities are endless and the impact on education is beyond our imagination. Join us as we show you how to bring your classroom to the cutting edge of 21st century learning.
You’re an educator because you wanted to inspire, motivate and share your love of learning - because knowledge is wealth. Let us show you how to reduce time spent on administrative tasks and increase time empowering students to become lifelong learners with the Unified Classroom. Data driven decision making, actionable activities all supporting student voice - in one single location. One URL. One Username. One Purpose - Student Success!
