Workshops

Over the past few years, I had the opportunity to teach in several different districts.  Below are the titles and descriptions of some of the workshops I have taught.  I am also able to teach online, hybrid and face-to-face graduate courses.  I am currently an adjunct instructor for University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and previously taught for Viterbo University.  If you would like me to teach one of these topics in your area, please contact me at saellner@gmail.com.

Currently Teaching:


Google Tools 3-2-1: Communicating and Collaborating with Google Tools - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay - This is a face-to-face one- credit, 2-credit and 3-credit course currently running each summer.  For the past couple of years, I have taught this course in Pulaski as well as Sturgeon Bay.  There is also a one-credit only version that is taught during the school year and in the summer upon request.  Participants learn how to use several Google Tools for collaboration and sharing.  These tools include Google Docs-word processing, spreadsheet and presentation, Google Forms, Google Sites, and others of interest to the participants.

Introduction to Problem Based Learning - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay - This course has run in the past as a face-to-face course as well as a hybrid course with 3 evening sessions face-to-face and two sessions online. Participants learn what problem based learning is, what it looks like in a classroom, how to recognize and create quality PBL tasks, and how to assess students within this model.

Google Tools: Moving Your Skills to the Next Level - This is a one credit face-to-face course which helps those who have taken Google Tools 3-2-1 course, or have experience using the Google tools, to learn some of the more advanced features of these tools.  This course is being offered as a one-credit this fall at Lannoye Elementary School in the Pulaski Community School District.  Check out UWGB's registration page for this course for more information.

Creating Digital Tools - This is a new course which we offered this past summer in Pulaski.  The participant feedback was excellent.  This course focuses on several different types of digital tools that you can create for your classroom.  It helps the participant if they already know the basics of Google tools so that we can focus on other tools which are not Google-based.
