For the past several years for Rebel U, our Technology & Media Team decides on a theme for the day, which we try to carry over through our yearly professional development. We try to do this to provide consistency in our publications, keep the Rebel U spirt from the beginning of the year alive throughout the whole school year, and most importantly, for fun! One thing our team works really hard to do is provide quality professional learning that is a little different from traditional learning opportunities. We try to not make the whole day a bunch of "sit and get" learning, but encourage our presenters to be hands-on with the participants, think outside the box for presentation methods, and in general, make the learning fun for those in sessions. Our theme provides our presenters with opportunities to have fun with their content and it also gives our participants a chance to dress to match the theme!
The themes we have had in the past are:
2010: Inaugural year of Rebel U - no theme
2011: Innovation Through Collaboration
2012: weLearn
2013: A Day with the Stars
2014: Superheroes
2015: Heroes and Villains
As part of our registration this year, we asked participants to share their favorite Disney Hero or Villain as well as their favorite Disney movie. This year in particular, we used the responses we gathered for our student response project and inspiration for our photo booth props. So, what did our participants tell us were some of their favorites?
