Ewan McIntosh, CEO, Edu.blogs.com, Edinburgh, Scotland
Project-based learning has been let down in too many instances with “fake”, academic, theoretical problems that need solving. The learning processes involved are at best fuzzy for most educators: what is “collaboration”, “student-designed” and “student-led” learning?

Screencasting is a fun and exciting way for students to take an active role in their own learning. Student-created screencasts can be used for authentic assessment, tutoring and sharing concepts with a global audience. This workshop will start with the basics of how to get started with screencasting. With hands-on guidance and demonstrations, participants will learn how easy it is to record, edit and share their screencasts using Camtasia (a free copy of Camtasia Studio or Camtasia for Mac will be provided to each attendee).
Participants will learn to create, organize and present crisp, professionally-pleasing screencasts. Other topics to be covered include:
Focused on middle and high school teachers (all subjects), this interactive workshop will show participants how to get students enthused about writing through peer commenting (authentic audience), multimedia (images (flickr and vuvox) and podcasts (Audacity and ipadio)) and publication (publisher/pages and scribd). Participants will see what other teachers have done, experience multimedia writing from the student’s perspective and feel the compelling power of peer-to-peer commenting. This workshop will change how you view teaching writing in digital spaces. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of the power of writing in spaces where peer commenting is key and with a strategy to create student-empowered online space (solutions and link packet). Participants should bring laptops and cell phones.
Bring your digital camera and join us on a walking tour of downtown Boston to explore night photography and to change the way you view Boston Harbour.
We will explore global projects engaging students to paint their city, home and themselves in a different light. We will investigate ways we can offer to depict stereotypes, such as inner city locations in inspiring ways.
We will be going on a photo safari around downtown Boston at night and will look at ways to investigate the how we frame our photos (what we focus on, what we edit out) as a starting point for reflective practice, for writing, art and critical thinking in the classroom. Learn about night photography and painting with light to ignite imagination and create highly dramatic photos to render the familiar a little strange.
Collaboration is one of the most sought after skills in the 21st century. How do you transform your classroom into a collaborative community where each student is empowered to contribute and to take ownership of their learning? How do you become the conductor of an orchestra full of “unique instruments and musicians”?
This session will share examples from the classroom where students take on “jobs” to become part of that orchestra. We will look at and play with different “instruments” that are uniquely tailored to encourage collaborative work. Participants will explore how they can use classroom time as rehearsals in order to prepare their students for a 21st century concerto.
In a world of rapidly developing technology, are you having a difficult time finding a jumping off point? In this four-hour session you will take part in a hands-on learning adventure that models an immersion process you can use with your own students. You will interact with a powerful learning community as you explore a variety of Web-based tools and learn to integrate these same tools across the curriculum in meaningful and effective ways. The results will be expanded opportunities for developing a personal learning community, authentic work, global audiences and concrete ways that your students can make valuable contributions to their learning community.
High powered, low-cost smartphones now afford us the opportunity to learn on the go. With these devices, students can perform research, collaborate, interact with experts, and produce creative works all from a phone! But which one is best for supporting student learning? In this session, we will examine the Android and iPhone mobile platforms, unique features of each that support student learning, and applications and activities that support differentiated mobile learning.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own smartphone to this hands-on session as interaction will be built into the session using online polling websites, Google Forms, and other means of mobile interaction.
Do not miss out on this innovative workshop. Most content also applies to iPod Touch and iPad users. Teachers, administrators, IT professionals and technology coordinators are welcome.
How can leaders maximize student engagement and academic achievement? How can leaders encourage teachers and students to collaborate with peers and professionals around the world?
The goal of this session is to provide you with maximum capacity for effective leadership in the 21st Century. This session will outline essential skills for leaders and offer practical guidelines and creative solutions for building accountability into the planning process. Articulating vision and managing change will be emphasized, along with the following:
How can photography be used in the the narrative reflective processes to improve writing? What can be learned from the images, videos and narratives we create when taking or making pictures? What does our point of viewing in the images we record tell us about our point of view? We are storied people, living storied lives. To know who you are, to make sense of your life, is essential to making sense of an educator’s own practice. Come to this highly popular session to learn how to render the familiar a little strange through photography.
When it comes to using technology in the classroom, it is easy to become distracted by the glitz, glimmer and gimmicks of activities high in “cool factor” but lacking in rigor or academic value. How do we design learning experiences that challenge students at their learning edge and draw on or strengthen their repertoire of digital skills and literacies? How do we “locate the learning” in student-created content and projects? How do we avoid the allure of “BLING” (cool tech tools) and focus on the power of “BANG” (meaningful student-centered learning) to effectively “widen the walls” of our learning environments?
Do the impossible! Get your students online, get them enthused about writing, commenting and using multimedia – and improve their writing. Two related, but non-repetitive sessions, by Geoffrey Gevalt, award-winning journalist and founder of the Young Writers Project. Intended for teachers in grades 4-12. Tips to combat obstacles (including money), to engage your students as never before and to create authentic audiences for their best work.
Geoff will focus on what YWP has learned from working with thousands of students online in both formal and informal learning environments. You will learn how students engage in civil discourse, peer-to-peer learning and building communities of learning. What engages them and what does not? You will experience a wide variety of student creativity including podcasts, multimedia, collaborative projects and performance pieces. Participants will be provided powerful links to additional examples, free or low-cost software to use and lesson ideas.
Discussion about Dr. Mazur's keynote.
Celebrating 25 years in educational technology, New York Times Best Selling Illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds, children’s advocate, author, illustrator, and successful entrepreneur, will share his uplifting vision how to inspire more creative classrooms and share his knowledge and love of the written word.
Hear about Peter’s six essentials to foster creativity and innovation in the classroom. See how technology allows one to make new connections, share new ideas, and see what else is possible.
His message is served up in a delightful, touching and unforgettable style which is an entertaining blend of...his fanciful art work, live animation and a reading of one his books, The Dot, The North Star, or Ish. Peter will also share his latest DVD, Stories That Matter, Stories That Move along with his heart-warming tales of how creative educators dared him to make his mark.
Peter’s words, illustrations, animations and actions remind us to:
One of the biggest problems educators have with integrating technology is keeping what is valuable from the past while still incorporating modern tools. Using a verbs and nouns metaphor that many have found useful, Prensky shows how the fundamental skills taught by educators change relatively little over time, whereas the tools for learning and practicing those skills will be changing ever more frequently in the 21st century. The talk presents a useful framework to deal with technological change in the classroom (Talk is based on Prensky’s book: Teaching Digital Natives).
In the Progressive Science Initiative (PSI), students are taking and passing AP science exams at up to 24 times the state rate; 100 teachers are receiving training in physics and chemistry; and, of those, more than 80 will become newly certified in those fields. PSI Methods have been used to create courses in all of high school science and K-12 mathematics (PMI). PSI and PMI use interactive white board and student responder technology, combined with a website for sharing resources (www.njctl.org) to create face-to-face intraschool and virtual interschool PLCs, enabling and empowering teachers. In the future, it is expected that creative educators will apply those same approaches to new content areas; imagination being the only limitation.
Public history, a movement involving collaboration and community activism, challenges communities to extend boundaries. Civic activism and digital storytelling collide in this powerful public history project linking urban and rural students in Louisiana.
Denise Altobello and Jenny Velasquez, teachers at Trinity Episcopal School in New Orleans join forces with Meredith Melancon of the public charter high school in Bunkie, Louisiana, to shed light on Solomon Northup, a New York free man of color, whose 1841 kidnapping led him through the slave exchange in New Orleans to 12 years as a slave.
Traveling between rural Bunkie and New Orleans’s Treme, America’s oldest African American neighborhood, students collaborate:
Such public history opens the doors to museums whose walls can no longer contain their stories.
See how one teacher's challenge-based learning project (Disney Planet Challenge) transformed her classroom around a focused theme, unifying her class as they were empowered with purpose-driven technology skills. Projects included videos, podcasts, blogs, Scratch games, a Web site, presentations and Skype calls. Challenge-based learning fosters an environment of collaboration, creativity, purpose and an excitement for learning. In this challenge-based learning project, students had to identify a goal, develop guiding questions and activities, create a plan and put their plan into action. Students became advocates for a threatened species, the Blanding’s turtle, collecting and studying data around a Blanding’s turtle head-starting program, proposing a potential preservation area and also developing a publicity campaign to alert people in Concord about the turtles - including stories, brochures, posters, podcasts, public events and movies. This project was submitted to the Disney Planet Challenge national competition in February 2011 and was awarded second place.
This session is about transcending school reform to make new forms of school. It centers on creating learning environments designed to go beyond achievement to foster engagement in all types of K-12 settings. The session will be particularly useful for people starting plans for new schools or extensive redesign of existing schools.
This workshop will engage participants in lively discussion about:
This session will explore the above ideas in detail and devote significant time to collaborative online development/sharing of:
Seymour Papert describes bricolage as a way to learn and solve problems by trying, testing and playing around. How do we learn by playing around with digital stuff? Can we create deep learning experiences that encourage students to show and share what they know with the world and contribute to the global knowledge commons? We will unleash a cornucopia of concrete student centred learning experiences that leverage the power of the world wide web and focus teachers instructional design through lenses that are student centred, knowledge centred, assessment centred and community centred. We will look at both small short term assignments and larger long term projects that will amaze you with what your students can learn and share as 21st century bricoleurs.
This session has a Part 1 and Part 2. Attending Part 1 in NOT required to attend Part 2.
This workshop will explore productivity tools, educational activities and more, using built-in and freely available applications for Apple’s iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad). Learn how to use your iOS device to develop lesson plans, podcast and directly access iTunesU content. Also discover tips and tricks to get even more out of your Internet communication device.
This workshop will demonstrate the powerful effects of integrating student-created math video lessons, also called screencasts or mathcasts. The math videos are used as tutoring tools, a form of authentic assessment and for creating an enhanced “kids teaching kids” classroom culture. Perhaps best of all, the students enjoy creating these screencasts.
The video tutorials are used in classroom instruction and shared with a global audience via our iTunes podcast, YouTube channel, as well as our own Mathtrain.TV Web site. You will view student-created screencasts and discover how easy it is to create them for nearly any subject, as well as share them on-line, using the screen recording software Camtasia Studio and free Jing. Two actual students will be co-presenting and demonstrating how we create our screencasts.
The classroom blog is a 21st century bulletin board where class work is shared and viewed by many. It is an amazingly powerful, yet simple tool. Discover how blogging can transform learning in an early childhood classroom. Hear how young children are engaged in a participatory culture while learning traditional literacy skills and also the new media literacy skills.
Attendees will become informed about:
The format for this session will be that of a "Critical Conversation", involving decision-makers in technology adoption in schools in the issues of finding the right balance between risk and reward of using emerging participative digital media in the classroom.
There will be facilitation and input from Ewan McIntosh, former National Advisor on Learning and Technology Futures to the Scottish Government, through its education agency Learning and Teaching Scotland. Ewan has successfully implemented policy and advised policymakers on decisions that have, over the past years, resulted in a successful opening of access to most social networking sites, video sharing and publishing websites in certain Local Authorities.
Who said you need a fancy video camera to capture a great story? Any still camera and audio recorder (even a phone) is all you need. Come discover how simple it is to tell compelling stories through photography. Whether you are experienced or just starting out with photography, we will show you how to create photo stories like the pros.
In this session, Mike and Traci will provide an update of laws, cases and issues emerging in technology and education in the US in the past year. This session will include selected statutory and regulatory changes and guidance (such as the US Departments of Justice and Education’s joint guidance on eReader devices and ADA/IDEA compliance) and will examine court decisions likely to influence technology’s role in education.
Creative educational principles and a school community's values should drive design decisions for physical changes to the school environment, big or small. Whether it is a media center makeover or a major construction project, our perspectives as the expert educators, not the construction experts, should set the vision and inspire the decision-making and building process. Our major school construction projects found their inspiration and informed direction in conversations about learning, not layout. Find out how to uncover connections and resources locally and globally to create practical, meaningful spaces for all kinds of learning. Good questions are the most important tool!
Join us as we explore how innovative teachers employed action research and challenge-based learning methodologies in their classrooms over a span of 12 months. These projects yielded highly significant results, behavioral and data driven, both from students and teachers. These teachers are part of an online masters degree focusing on emergent media and immersive learning environments for learners of all ages. A partial requirement of this degree is to conduct an action research project as well as a challenge based-learning initiative.
Challenge Based Learning requires the teacher to be part of the learning process and work along side the students to produce possible solutions. Solutions will often reflect individual interests and desires, which motivate students to take ownership of their learning. These solutions are shared with a global audience, which brings attention to communication, collaboration, critical thinking and evaluation, skills for the 21st century.
Discover how teachers and school leaders locate and create ready-to-use Web applications, lessons, quizzes and rubrics for the benefit of learning new skills. Utilize valuable professional development resources, creativity tools, problem solving resources, fun and creative experiments and collaboration connections, to make learning even more fun for you and your students.
This session will cover how to produce engaging multimedia projects resulting in increased student commenting and achievement including efficient ways of learning and how to utilize valuable resources for students, teachers and school administrators alike.
Topics:
Harnessing the power of social networking tools in the classroom can be very beneficial for all involved, including students, teachers and parents. Traditional thinking tells us that this works best (and maybe solely) in a secondary school setting. But it is also happening in an unlikely place - elementary schools. All too often elementary students are left behind in terms of using technology, but this session will showcase how one district, generally, and one 1st grade classroom, specifically, is embracing the use of Facebook in the classroom. And additionally, Facebook in these classrooms is not being used solely for communication, but for actual instructional purposes and writing practice.
In this session, we will discuss:
In order to help students become globally connected, their teachers and administrators need to be globally aware, curious, interested and competent. Let us explore the why and how of becoming a globally connected educator. From global competencies, connections, collaborations and communication to tools and projects designed and created for you to investigate the world, bring in perspective, knowledge, skills and disposition.
In the Digital Age, the dominance of conventional, linear text of the last few centuries is eroding and giving way to multimodal communication, with its screen-based, non-linear, participatory and visual emphasis. This presentation highlights innovative educational uses of the Read-Write Web that effectively incorporate both conventional prose and multimedia communication. Join in reviewing alternative K-12 activities and projects with interactive technologies and see how online social media is empowering student-centered leaning. Designed for curriculum specialists, classroom teachers, and educational technology specialists, this session features projects from social studies, language arts, world languages and math/science classrooms.
Learn, discuss and share tips and tricks with others in how they use and manage their personal learning networks. The conversation will focus on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn but we will go where the conversation takes us. Understanding and expanding your professional reach is essential in today's digital society.
Realistic fiction offers students the opportunity to learn about people and cultures from around the world. The web provides the connection between students and people from around the world. Using these two resources, lessons can be created that engage and challenge your students to read more and with greater understanding. We will share classroom examples of books used with students and how we connected fiction to the real world. We will focus on literature appropriate for grade 5 - 9. The concepts can be adapted for all grades.
We can cost technology in schools, but how do we measure its value, especially when cost is questioned?
How can we help others to manage change by recognising and valuing the educational benefits such as:
This session investigates an approach to measuring the value of educational technology in schools using a study method developed in Australia and the USA and applied in Canberra, England, California, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland and Portugal.
The approach surveys the capabilities of teachers, the vision and value proposition of the school, the views of staff and students and the Gartner Group total cost of ownership model provided by CoSN.
Come explore and discover the latest iOS apps for learning, play and productivity! Douglas Kiang will present the top apps he and his colleagues at Punahou School have been using to enhance learning in the classroom, and help learners of all ages to be more productive, organized and better informed.
Online learning has exploded in recent years. Some studies predict that high school students may be taking upwards of 50% of their courses online before the decade is out. But effective online teaching is very different from teaching in a classroom or lecture hall. This session dives into the facets of designing online courses that keep students engaged, learning and collaborating. Discover strategies to keep learning fun and effective through a number of free or nearly free distance technologies available today. Whether you're new to online teaching, already leading courses or an old pro, you are bound to come away from session with scores of techniques, strategies and ideas on how to galvanize your online courses.
The Innovative Technology in Science Inquiry (ITSI) project prepares diverse students for careers in information technologies by engaging them in exciting, inquiry-based science projects that use computational models and real-time data acquisition. ITSI has produced dozens of activities in middle school earth, physical and life sciences and high school physics, chemistry and biology using a range of commercial sensors as well as open source or research-based software, including Molecular Workbench, NetLogo, Physics Education Technology (PhET) and Seismic Eruption.
ITSI activities are embedded in software that allows students to read the activity, answer questions, make predictions and collect data, analyze results, run a computer-based model, take and annotate snapshots of that model and save their work within one application. It also allows the collection of formative and summative assessment data, which is available to the teachers. The software is not specific to any sensor manufacturer or platform. It is designed to work with whatever curriculum, computers and sensors schools may have or adopt.
THINK Global School (TGS) is the world's first global, mobile high school. We have no building we can call home. Instead we take students and faculty from 12 countries to live, study and explore in three different international cities each year--Stockholm, Sydney and Beijing in year one, for example. In place of of bricks and mortar, we have iPhones, iPads and Macbook Pros--every student and faculty member works with all three devices--and a custom-made ELGG-based web platform to hold them all together. After a year of running a 3:1 program we'd love to share our experience: More is less--making the technology ubiquitous paradoxically makes it less visible (pens and pencils are everywhere but we do not notice them) and the less visible the technology, the less disruptive it is; for similar reasons, ubiquitous connectivity is important; apps do not matter but the the idea "there's an app for that" does, which means users can choose apps based on personal preferences; finally while there is overlap in their capabilities, each device is best suited to different purposes (iPhones are superb data capturing tools, laptops better data processing and production tools) But if we could only have just one tool it would be the iPhone--not an iPad or Laptop.
In this session we will present a brief summary of the TGS 3:1 program and follow with a discussion. We will demonstrate workflow across all three devices so bring iPhones, iPads and laptops.
Why promote 21st century skill development? How are digital immigrants essential in the education of today's digital natives? What are some ways to engage today’s students? How do educators put all these ideas together to create real student centered learning and essential educational transformation? More than a presentation, you will have the opportunity to listen to testimonies from educators, students and various professionals. Along the way, Mike will share some tools he has created to assist your digital natives. These include, ”Ten Basic Google Search Techniques” and “Seven Step (A-G) Web Evaluation Program." Learn about amazing free web resources such as Intel Thinking Tools and investigate student creativity with some video creation ideas. Have the opportunity to smile, laugh, engage and reflect on both practice and possibilities. Walk away with points to ponder, antidotes, a reason to transform and resource material that you can share with your personal learning community.
Yes! Primary students, too, can have digital portfolios that allow them to reflect and record their learning. Just like their older counterparts, young learners want to showcase their learning for a wide audience and obtain feedback beyond the teacher’s comments. We will discuss what works effectively with our youngest students.
You will leave with:
Before the days of tractors and combines, for more than 60% of the population in North America, farming was a way of life. Today that number is less than 2%. Children who grew up in rural areas made vital economic contributions to their families and communities by engaging in real farm chores.
Now it is time to restore the dignity of real student work in our schools. Our students can now easily create collaborative content that contributes to a library of learning resources.
Six learning jobs will be outlined:
Explore ways to make student work meaningful, highly motivating and consequential to the world around them.
Many propose teaching problem-solving skills, yet few show teachers practically how to go about doing it. Prensky proposes a way to teach problem solving using a simple, generalizable methodology, and then applies that methodology to all subjects and levels. (Talk is based on Prensky’s next book from Corwin.)
School-safe social media technology has evolved. ePals LearningSpace includes a full suite of easy-to-use cloud-based web 2.0 tools for communication and collaboration, robust safety and security features, generous storage space, ability to add third party applications and integration with the district’s locally supported and managed resources. This technology, used throughout Hauppauge (NY) Schools, can empower teachers and students to create their own collaborative learning communities and to enjoy more great days of teaching and learning together any time, anywhere and with anyone in the world they choose.
Breaking curriculum free from its "rusty cage" -- constraints of time and place and an overemphasis on objectives that can be explicitly evaluated for grading purposes -- can open a world of exciting new opportunities to discover and develop the unique talents of every student.
Cognitive development occurs in a social context containing the powerful forces determining the nature of an individual’s life.
Come experience the power of giving 18-year-old students the opportunity to design personal learning pathways during the last semester of high school. You will see how each individual student focus became the vehicle through which they demonstrated their cumulative skills in research, product development, community service and public speaking.
Attendees will learn how our five-year program leverages a defunct state requirement into a rich, 21st century cornucopia while most of our students take full college loads. Hear of the challenges as well as our student’s successes as we engaged our local community to meet the burgeoning needs of students in today’s classrooms.
Student examples will include:
Classroom conversation and learning should be conceptual. Through inquiry driven curriculum, students are inspired to question, to think, to reflect and to contemplate. All voices should be heard and should be given outlets. The session will discuss how conceptual learning and technology converge and how to create essential questions that require more than a Google search to answer.
The following will be shared:
Discover free, Web-based tools that motivate your students to learn and connect with the global community. Make the move from content consumption to content creation and community building while developing more self-directed learners and raising global awareness. This session will be a rich source of ideas, resources and information about learning with technology in the 21st century.
Do the impossible! Get your students online, get them enthused about writing, commenting and using multimedia – and improve their writing. Two related, but non-repetitive sessions, by Geoffrey Gevalt, award-winning journalist and founder of the Young Writers Project. Intended for teachers in grades 4-12. Tips to combat obstacles (including money), to engage your students as never before and to create authentic audiences for their best work.
Gevalt will show you what teachers have been doing in YWP digital spaces in Language Arts, Science, Math, Foreign Languages and ELL in grades 4-12. Exemplars will be shown in a wide variety of areas involving writing, podcasting, photo stories, art critique, science exploration, etc. You will be provided links to authentic lesson plans, free or low-cost software to use to create your own digital spaces, powerful Web-apps and top digital educators you should be following.
What is all the buzz about YouTube, Flickr, Diigo, Facebook, MySpace, Blogger, Twitter, Skype, Second Life and the many Web 2.0 technologies that are key components of students' daily vocabulary? Which technologies are really supporting and enhancing our students? How can teachers effectively use the "read/write web" to motivate students and connect them to the world? Do we really understand Web 2.0 and the effect it has on our students? Our students are authors of blogs, designers of web sites and developers of ringtones. They have created an entire language of their own using abbreviated terms. The bottom line is that these students learn and comprehend in a way that is foreign to many of us, and, as a result, they often feel disconnected from traditional teachers and schools of yesteryear. In this workshop, we will explore several Web 2.0 tools, how students are using them and how to successfully integrate them into the curriculum.
Our schools are at the beginning of a historic transition from paper as the dominant storage and retrieval media to the web. The initial response of bolting technology on top of the current design of school is a short-term process that will only yield marginal improvement. Contrast this “$1,000 pencil” approach with how society is transforming how, where, when, with whom and even why people work. Being self directed, managing global communications and overwhelming amounts of information have become critical job skills. The workshop will include response to the following criticalleadership questions, such as:
In the Progressive Science Initiative (PSI), students are taking and passing AP science exams at up to 24 times the state rate; 100 teachers are receiving training in physics and chemistry; and, of those, more than 80 will become newly certified in those fields. PSI Methods have been used to create courses in all of high school science and K-12 mathematics (PMI). PSI and PMI use interactive white board and student responder technology, combined with a website for sharing resources (www.njctl.org) to create face-to-face intraschool and virtual interschool PLCs, enabling and empowering teachers. In the future, it is expected that creative educators will apply those same approaches to new content areas; imagination being the only limitation.
In this session, Traci and Mike will provide an overview of federal laws regulating the use of technology in American schools, including the usual suspects (CIPA, NCIPA, FERPA, IDEA and TEACH) and never-saw-it-coming laws (like FLSA and ADA). This session will be of interest to both novices to the topic and battle-tested veterans who may have lost sight of the legal forest because of the fees.
Imagine if students, thirty miles apart, could collaborate on their own digital textbook. Now imagine students receive no grade for their work. Imagery, podcasts, texts, PowerPoints, hyperlinks and more all created by students and for the world. In this presentation, we will focus on how we built a 21st century learning environment between two school districts; one with a 1-to-1 laptop program and the other with a computer lab. We will explain how we built a common curriculum that engages and empowers our students to collaborate, communicate and disseminate their story of world history using Skype, GoogleDocs and Wikispaces. Our students’ efforts, over the past five years, have resulted in the creation of a living, digital textbook. Engaged with curriculum, motivated by a desire to understand the world in which they live and leaving digital footprints worth following.
This workshop gives teachers and administrators authentic ideas to integrate technology tools into every lesson and activity, no matter the subject! One major point made in this workshop is the discussion of “the real purpose” for technology, which is to connect and collaborate outside of the classroom. This workshop takes away the fear and burden teachers feel about using new technologies by empowering the students to explore and learn the tools that interest them.
Workshop includes:
A great partnership developed when I began to tweet. Four months after my first post, I developed friendships including one connecting four Iowa schools. Our classes joined together by student blogs. Students learned how to create blogs and how to comment appropriately. While the purpose in our classrooms varied, we were able to foster student interest through collaboration. This is only the beginning...
Join us as we discuss:
The International Baccalaureate's three programmes, covering the 3 - 19 years primary and secondary market, is increasingly recognized as being fit for 21st century educational needs. The organization is growing in size with almost 4000 programmes being offered in over 135 countries, including 1300 schools in the USA. Join Director General Jeffrey Beard as he explains how the IB is utilizing technology to transform the organization by building an increasingly networked and collaborative infrastructure across its three global centres.
Specifically, Director General Beard will explain how techology is playing a major role in the organization's transformation in four major areas:
Seymour Papert describes bricolage as a way to learn and solve problems by trying, testing and playing around. How do we learn by playing around with digital stuff? Can we create deep learning experiences that encourage students to show and share what they know with the world and contribute to the global knowledge commons? We will unleash a cornucopia of concrete student centred learning experiences that leverage the power of the world wide web and focus teachers instructional design through lenses that are student centred, knowledge centred, assessment centred and community centred. We will look at both small short term assignments and larger long term projects that will amaze you with what your students can learn and share as 21st century bricoleurs.
This session has a Part 1 and Part 2. Attending Part 1 in NOT required to attend Part 2.
So, you have integrated technology in your classrooms. Is it leading to improved learning? What does assessment look like in a Digital Age classroom of Web 2.0 integration and multimodal projects? How do we distinguish between higher-order thinking and "bells-and-whistles"? In this session we will explore the role of a "logic model" and backward-design principles in developing effective "Assessment 2.0" strategies. We will look at techniques and rubrics that help establish a clear relationship between project goals and skill benchmarks. We will also focus on the critical role of formative assessments and timely intervention. Furthermore, we will also examine how a 2.0 assessment differs from a traditional assessment. A fundamental goal is to identify characteristics of effective assessments that link to and measure student mastery of worthwhile learning goals.
What if we tried to go Google-free? How hard would it be? Should we be looking for alternatives? Will you like them? Are we too reliant on Google’s services? Is it dangerous to give all our information to one corporation? Should we be moving our data out of Google as soon as possible? Does Google have too much "Power"? What would you do if Gmail, went down? Join us, find the answers and discover alternatives.
Travel bloggers, photographers and writers beware! Tweens and teens travel too, and they have much to add to this ever-growing genre.

With the support of the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, we guide 8-day summer workshops that welcome students from around the United States to:
The challenge was to "Design an iPhone app that is useful to our school community." I used a challenge-based learning approach to inspire a group of beginning programmers to design questions, conduct guiding activities and find the resources they needed to invent a solution to a campus-wide problem. Along the way, I documented their thinking and used video and online tools to capture the story of how our app was published on the App Store and how this process transformed our classroom into a student-centered, fully collaborative learning environment.
Have you been on Twitter for a while? Do you feel like something is missing? There's a good chance that you are not maximizing your experience. Signing up for and learning the basics of using social tools are generally pretty easy. But to really gain value, you need to understand the more advanced features of what these tools have to offer. This workshop will provide you with several examples of how to tweak your usage to gain the most value out of your time online.
Tools such as classroom blogging, Skype calls and collaborative projects allow young learners to connect and learn from children who live far away. In addition, their classroom teachers can develop relationships that support their own learning. Come discover how you can connect and develop a classroom environment that spans time zones and empowers learners.
Attendees will become familiar with
Feeling overwhelmed with information? Come play at this highly creative and engaging session on using the iPhone camera for learning. Create math walks, use GPS tags to use photos for history or socials classes, use photography to improve student writing and create point of view images for more powerful perspective writing. Bring your iPhone or new iPod touch with a camera.
Prensky argues that too much time is being spent trying to fix the educational “system,” and hardly any is being spent on fixing the education the system provides—particularly for the future. Prensky is convinced that, with our present course, all the momentum and money now available will be just thrown away and lost, and, when it is all spent, we shall end up with an educational system that is incapable of preparing the bulk of our students for the 21st century.
The reason so much time and money is being wasted, argues Prensky, is that virtually all of the educational improvement efforts now in place are aimed at bringing back, and attempting to make successful the education that America offered students in the 20th century (occasionally with technological enhancements). Sadly, too many people assume this is still the right education for today—although it no longer works for most of our students. Practically no effort is being made, despite the many educational projects and programs now being funded and offered, to create and implement a better, more future-oriented education for all of our kids; an education that will enable them to deal with the issues and realities they will face in the 21st century. (Talk is based on a widely circulated article.)
So every student has a computer now what do you do? This session will look at the pedagogy, theories and practices behind 1:1 programs. From reverse instruction strategies to reducing time on assignments, participants will walk away with ideas they can take back to their own classrooms. Ideas that might even mean spending less class time on the computer and more time engaging face to face.
Participants will discuss:
One of the most effective ways to get students collaborating with each other is to use tools that are easily accessible. If the tools are browser agnostic, have no demand for installations or updates and are intuitive, the collaboration is more likely to be effective. Together, we will look at Google Forms, Docs and Sites as a suite of tools to facilitate and foster global collaborations.
This session will provide concrete suggestions that school superintendents, principals, BOE members and technology coordinators can and should consider in their journey to Web 2.0 land. The workshop will offer suggestions of approaches for district leadership teams to incorporate into their system for Web 2.0 integration and engagement; there will be an emphasis on the structural, political and philosophical realities that must be challenged and accounted for.
With personal technology devices becoming pervasive, many schools are contemplating “bring your own device” initiatives, allowing students to bring and use their own technology in schools. This session will explore legal and policy issues related to such initiatives. Does CIPA’s filtering requirement apply to student owned devices used on school networks? Does the school have an obligation to “upgrade” devices of students with disabilities? Come and find out.
An education that incorporates the principles and priorities of a passion-driven classroom: disciplined study, fostered imagination, active participation and community contribution, will result in learners who are successful and citizens who are ready and willing to participate in shaping the future.
Come join me as we explore how to organize, manage and create school and classroom environments that spark and sustain students’ energy, excitement and love of learning.
Augmented what? AR is quickly becoming an emerging technology according to the 2011 Horizon Report. An augmented reality environment includes elements of the real world and the virtual world at the same time, but is interactive in real time. The interaction between the virtual object and the real world brings to life abstract concepts and seeks to enhance understanding. Sound interesting?
In this session attendees will better understand AR and it implications on education. Learn how to manipulate AR objects via mobile devices and laptops. Discover how AR applications can enhance textbooks too have the power to engage a reader in ways that have never been possible. Take a field trip to a museum with a group of classmates and never leave the classroom. Come learn how to manipulate the White House and a Dodecahedron in 3D and how to make your own AR objects: text, photos, sound and more. Using AR applications can provide each student with his/her own unique discovery path. Do not miss out on the fun!
This interactive workshop will explore and provide hands-on examples of how the use of a new online program, based on six trait analytic rubrics, can be easily integrated to improve student outcomes and to encourage and motivate students to revise. Enriching the discussion will be methods currently in use in a middle school classroom to efficiently and effectively integrate an online writing practice program into core instruction providing instant scoring of student work, targeted feedback, suggestions for revision, kid friendly tutorials on each trait, exemplars and tools that allow teachers and students to communicate easily about their work. An online math practice program will also be discussed. Both can also serve as common formative assessments that are characteristic of PLCs.
Enjoy a wonderful story with novel ideas to incorporate PBL with free technology. Travel through lands of PBL ideas; discover collaborative resources and extend PBL beyond your classroom. Browse the chapters below, prepare your imagination, be ready for new possibilities and be sure to stop by for a story that leaves you with a happy ending.
THINK Global School (TGS) is the world's first global, mobile high school. We have no building we can call home. Instead we take students and faculty from 12 countries to live, study and explore in three different international cities each year--Stockholm, Sydney and Beijing in year one, for example. Instead of bricks and mortar, we have a 3:1 program (iPhones, iPads and MBPs) held together by a custom-made ELGG-based web platform built to support Alan November's Digital Learning Farm concept. Our curriculum model--core learning practiced through applied learning leading to original research--is also wrapped around the students-as-contributors idea. With our nomadic life and continuously evolving program of events and explorations our classroom is defined not by where we are, but by what we do, not by physical space, but by psychological space. The Farm has helped us build the independence of thought and work that is both a practical necessity and a key developmental goal of our school.
In this session we will look at how we set up our technology to support the Digital Learning Farm as a core practice, present some examples of student work and discuss the results of working with the Farm for a year with 15 students from 11 different countries.
High powered, low-cost smartphones now afford us the opportunity to learn on the go. With these devices, students can perform research, collaborate, interact with experts, and produce creative works all from a phone! But which one is best for supporting student learning? In this session, we will examine the Android and iPhone mobile platforms, unique features of each that support student learning, and applications and activities that support differentiated mobile learning.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own smartphone to this hands-on session as interaction will be built into the session using online polling websites, Google Forms, and other means of mobile interaction.
Do not miss out on this innovative workshop. Most content also applies to iPod Touch and iPad users. Teachers, administrators, IT professionals and technology coordinators are welcome.
Broughton Hall High School is part of the Building Schools for the Future Programme in the UK. The school has an international reputation for developing innovative approaches to curriculum design and skills based approaches to learning.
This has led to the following developments in recent years:
The focus of this session will be on the 'I's of introspection, inclusion, innovation and implementation in the development of a more relevant and engaging way of learning.
SmartGraphs is a project that studies the educational value of digital objects embedded in graphs that “know” about themselves and that provide scaffolding to students to help them learn about graphs and the concepts conveyed in graphs.
SmartGraphs is guided by collaboration between the Concord Consortium and the Pennsylvania State Department of Education Classrooms for the Future program, through which 145,000 laptop computers are deployed to serve 500,000 students. Other states, districts or schools that are also interested in providing meaningful software to help students interpret visual graphical data from existing graphs or real time data collected with probes will thrill with this free open source software tool!
As teacher-leaders, we created a blog called teachersfortomorrow.net where we leave our own digital footprints. This website serves as a depository of professional reflections, a place where we offer a glimpse into our classrooms. Our goal is to use our experiences with technology and curriculum to help other teachers create the classroom of tomorrow. In our schools, students of tomorrow collaborate on projects, scaffold information and create personal connections not bound by distance or socioeconomic status. Living and learning in school districts nearly thirty miles apart, our students interact weekly via Skype, a shared classroom blog, student blogs and GoogleDocs. In our schools, both students and teachers are making digital footprints worth following.
Tough economic times demand strong, innovative ties between industry and education. Immerse yourself in the Blue Valley School District's Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS), which is revolutionizing high school education through a nationally-recognized, profession-based educational model. Created in partnership with seventy-four international business partners (from IBM to Sprint to Garmin), hundreds of business professional mentors, six leading universities and education experts, CAPS is designed to provide high school students the skills needed to succeed in the competitive college environment and global work force. In this session, participants will Skype live with students and partners of the CAPS program and learn the:

A practical exploration of the intersection between visual design, presentation design and instructional design. Every day, several times a day, teachers everywhere are called upon to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten and maintain attention and amongst their students. With the advent of interactive white boards and/or video projectors in classrooms everywhere, the intersection of these skills is fast becoming a centrepiece of an educators toolkit. This workshop will model and illustrate concrete ways in which teachers can incorporate these skills into their pedagogical practice.
No longer should you be concerned about spending precious classroom minutes mining the Internet looking for information. Join us as we take a tour of the tools and strategies that Google has developed to help you and your students focus on synthesizing the information you have found rather than spending precious classroom time trying to find it. Explore how to use Google’s latest search techniques with your students and develop strategies to help your students do meaningful queries rather than just hunt for data.
Technology has the potential to change our relationship to history and can facilitate engaging activities and research that would be difficult or impossible to create in a tech-free environment. Primary sources -- the heart of historical analysis -- are increasingly available on the Web accompanied by new and innovative ways of interacting with these online materials. As such, historians, educators and students must improve their skills of accessing, evaluating, creating and collaborating with digital primary sources. This session develops skills for accessing and teaching with digital primary sources and provides exemplary activities. Participants will learn tools and techniques for uncovering primary sources and will explore cutting-edge interactive collections with fascinating potential.
Did you know that all jobs of the future will require a basic understanding of math and science? The most recent ten year employment projections by the U.S. Labor Department show that of the 20 fastest growing occupations projected for 2014, 15 of them require significant mathematics or science preparation to successfully compete for a job. As educators, what can we do to ensure our students are ready for the future? With the surge of mobile device integration in our schools, is it possible to merge these devices with STEM curriculum to engage students? The answer is yes!
In this session, attendees will learn different innovative ways to integrate mobile devices into STEM curriculum. Attendees will discover valuable resources on new and exciting ways to change the stigma that STEM classes are too hard. This session will provide something for everyone, even if STEM content areas are not your focus. Come and ENTER PODSTEMIC!
The session will provide participants with tools to leverage technology for Character and Leadership Education. The session will focus on how the application of technology in the classroom can motivate students to use technology as a leadership tool across the curriculum. It will develop the core skills necessary for the integration of technology in the classroom.
In a world where students are constantly plugged in, how do we find the balance between engaging them on “their level” and also teaching them the face to face skills of conversation and real life interaction? When children share the same physical space, how do we ensure they also share the same mental space?
In this session we will attempt answer the following questions.
Both The Partnership for 21st Century Skills and ISTE have outlined what they believe to be 21st century skills today's schools need to be teaching students. A common standard they have both identified is the ability for students to interact, collaborate and publish with peers and experts in multiple environments through a variety of mediums. In this session, we will analyze why the ability to collaborate effectively is a critical skill and how educators can facilitate student collaboration through Google Docs.
From West Point to HSBC (biggest bank in the world), one of the most valued skills is to understand different cultural perspectives and points of view. If we want our students to be competitive in the global economy, we must challenge them to co-create and present to a worldwide authentic audience. Any classroom can be organized to be a global communications center, and we can design more rigorous and motivating assignments that engage our students to communicate globally with purpose. Expand boundaries of potential and give your students courage to engage with the world.

The Digital Learning Farm is an inspiration for transforming the culture of any classroom. Would your teachers like their students to work harder than they do? Do you want your students to beg for more work? This session will share classroom examples that embrace the notion of giving students authentic responsibilities not only for motivation, but also to learn critical skills to become literate in the 21st century.
Last year we described the mission, vision and rationale for the project: developing a model for educating K-12 and higher education students capable of succeeding in a flat and diverse globe. GTEC provides an alternative approach to developing the 21st century global workforce through a unique international mentorship and collaboration among K12, higher education and business/industry.
This year we will report on progress with two pilot programs. In the first program, students from Spirit of Knowledge Charter School, Worcester, MA, and Haywood Engineering College, UK, teamed up to create a ‘global classroom’ to solve an energy optimization problem. In the second program, Newburyport High School joined undergraduates from Olin College of Engineering in a problem-oriented co-design project to reclaim wasted energy. Both pilot programs received technical support from Parametric Technology Corporation, Needham, MA / UK.
Further discussion will include next steps involving additional partners abroad and at home.
Augmented Reality, a technology that has been around for several years, has found its place in pop culture, the world of art and museums thanks to the prevalence of smartphones and location-based services built around them.
Augmented Reality allows the user to discover virtual objects in real-world locations through their cellphone's camera. It has been harnessed by cultural organisations and museums to create exhibits within exhibits, or to show off the history and photographic heritage of a city.
This is a session to learn about how others have used it and set about harnessing this exciting technology in your own learning environments.
Educational leaders need to model the use of technology in their own work with teachers to showcase the ever growing possibilities and ensure sustainability. As well, teachers need opportunities for professional development that happen within their classroom walls and which are embedded into their individual instruction and curricula.
Attending this session will give you the information you need to create your own Professional Learning Network and use the learned information to support the individual needs of your staff as a passionate, guiding leader. We will describe how to use tools such as Facebook, blogs and Twitter to obtain and communicate information and concepts that will further the learning opportunities for your students and staff. Furthermore, along with pulled out grouped professional development, teachers desperately need the chance to have someone provide "just in time" learning based on their individual needs. In asking the right questions, modeling, mentoring, lesson planning and curricular concepts can be provided through on-site, meaningful coaching. Hear how Jennifer and Andrew used both of these important concepts in tandem to build true sustainability at Lawrence Middle School in New Jersey.

Cushing Academy has undergone a profound systemic transformation which has been a collective educational quest. This year, Cushing teachers traveled to various schools in the country where innovative educational approaches are taking place. Faculty researched pioneering classroom applications of 21st century learning and took a close look at what we are doing in our classrooms to meet the needs of our digital learners.
We will preview our soon-to-be published companion pieces: Jim Tracy’s book on developing an entrepreneurial school and faculty findings on the best innovations Cushing has incubated internally along with the most interesting practices we have found in our travels, including:
- galvanize faculty to a greater sense of inquiry and discovery
- affirm peers, encourage contributions and assuage fears around change
- forge a new consensus and momentum among faculty
Young learners are active, curious and motivated. Their learning environment should be filled with concrete and hands-on opportunities that engage them and inspire learning. Just as building blocks, pattern blocks and attribute blocks are tools used to explore and develop mathematical concepts, digital tools, such as netbooks, iPod touches, Roamer Robots, video cameras and interactive whiteboards can also enhance the learning in a primary classroom. Learn how digital tools support a learning environment that motivates students to be active, independent and reflective learners.
In his 2009 book Drive, Dan Pink identifies three key factors underlying human motivation: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose (AMP). How can we apply these ideas to student learning? By designing instruction with an eye for engagement. According to Phillip Schlechty, engaged students demonstrate deeper understanding, better retention of content and more successful transference of their learning to new contexts. After reflecting on our own needs as learners, we will review key engagement concepts from Schlechty's "Working on the Work," contextualizing them through innovative examples and simple ways teachers can leverage technology to increase student engagement and move them towards a greater sense of autonomy, mastery and purpose in their learning. We will review examples of simple online tools and processes such as social bookmarking and backchannelling that can increase engagement. Twitter summary of this presentation: "To engage students, let them create content that matters and contributes. Use digital tools to connect them constructively to the world.”
Participants will leave this session with a framework and ideas for using online tools and processes to design learning experiences that allow students to:
We live in a time of communication and information. As classrooms change to reflect this reality there are many things to consider such as critical thinking on the web, online safety in a connected world, launching a learning community, opportunities for online publishing, organizing student and teacher learning and connective learning with Google apps and social tools. Join this discussion about getting started, getting comfortable and getting creative with new tools in education.
With the app store now available for more than just your iPhone and iPad, it can be overwhelming to know which apps to download. In this workshop we will give you some of the essential apps for your classroom and share some of our favorites apps that will help you and your students create. Come with your favorites, too, and build a collaborative list of good resources that we'll share with all.
Learn how leaders, including superintendents, principals and teachers, can promote a vision of employing digital tools to engage students in rigorous work. Leaders should emphasize the importance of student use of digital tools to communicate, solve problems and apply content and skills. Leaders should model participation in professional growth and collaboration across job types and levels through Digital Playgrounds, blogs, wikis and/or Twitter. Leaders should implement supportive policies and procedures relating to internet filtering, use of mobile devices on campus and other topics. Leaders should provide greater access to technology through initiatives such as student use of a wireless network; the establishment of a digital learning management system that supports the blending of virtual and traditional instruction and the creation of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure that allows staff and students to access the resources of the district network anytime, anyplace and from any device with browser capability.
Realistic fiction offers students the opportunity to learn about people and cultures from around the world. The web provides the connection between students and people from around the world. Using these two resources, lessons can be created that engage and challenge your students to read more and with greater understanding. We will share classroom examples of books used with students and how we connected fiction to the real world. We will focus on literature appropriate for grade 5 - 9. The concepts can be adapted for all grades.
Transforming learning in schools requires convincing diverse stakeholders to embrace the possibilities of 21st century learning and technology integration. In some schools, teachers and librarians are leading the way: trying to convince administrators to offer support and professional development time. In other places, administrators are trying to earn faculty support for new initiatives aimed at disrupting established patterns of teacher-centered content delivery. In some low performing schools, dysfunctional communication networks are the obstacles to change, and in some high performing schools, a track record of past success is a barrier for preparing for a changing future. All of these diverse scenarios are united by one common need: transforming schools requires a compelling answer to the question “Why Change?”
In this session, we will examine answers to the question “Why Change?” and we will look at strategies for communicating those answers to diverse stakeholders. We will analyze common patterns of ed tech reform in schools, and we will identify successful strategies for supporting reform in diverse settings.
"Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand." (Author unknown)
This session will explore the basics of inquiry learning along with strategies and lessons learned while coaching a wide variety of teachers interested in incorporating inquiry-based learning tools into their teaching toolkit. Inquiry-based learning is a constructivist teaching approach that encourages students to generate and seek answers to their own questions as they construct new knowledge. Highly engaging and deeply meaningful - this style of teaching appeals to those seeking transformational learning opportunities for their students.
