NCED Connect Symposium 2025

Spark creativity and dynamic discussions to make literacy learning rigorous and fun. In this session, discover how to leverage AI to plan creative full classroom experiences and provide immediate feedback for students on their writing that drives achievement (increase ‘meets’ and ‘masters’ by 17%). Then, Curipod’s insight reports will capture classroom-wide and individual progress, providing valuable data to inform and refine instructional strategies. Learn to use Curipod’s classroom management tools to ensure all students are engaged.

As an educator, your time is extremely valuable and free time is a rare commodity! Why not save the time and money you could spend tracking down high-quality digital resources and let Britannica support you! Meet Teach Britannica, a new open-access hub, full of mini-lessons, instructional strategies, graphic organizers and research tools support classroom instruction. Teach Britannica is available to all educators, and pairs wonderfully with all the Britannica resources available to North Carolina educators through NCEDCloud. Join this lively session to test drive these resources, engage in productive discussion with colleagues, and learn how to support learners of all ages through Britannica.

This session will explore how using effective instructional strategies with digital resources can transform classrooms filled with independent digital work into collaborative environments. Participants will learn how to leverage resources like BrainPOP to foster the seven durable skills of the NC Portrait of a Graduate, empowering students to become communicative, critical thinkers with a learner’s mindset. Through practical examples and discussions, attendees will gain actionable insights to lead digital innovation and drive student success at their school or district.
