Ensuring deeper learning for ALL students may not be as daunting as it sounds. There are small shifts that can lead to amazing changes in our classrooms. We’ll use McLeod and Graber’s 4 Shifts Protocol as a basis for learning how leaders can support classroom changes.
Synchronous and asynchronous discussions are powerful activities for deep learning. Check out the new and old features of Flipgrid, a free-for-teachers and students tool. This can be used remotely and in blended learning environments.
Blended Learning is an effective educational practice that comes with concerns for student safety and security. This session, during Digital Citizenship Week, will look at how we can belong and contribute to our digital world in a safe and positive way.
Dean Shareski and Alec Couros have had their images used in catfishing schemes for the better part of a decade. What have they learned? What lessons might they share to support learners as digital citizens?
Come with your questions about Flipgrid and Google Forms. We’ll also have a Stump-the-Chump Challenge where you can bring any Google Workspace question to see if you can stump Eileen.
It’s a popular saying “technology is just a tool” That statement is often used to diminish the power of technology. But what if it’s more than a tool? This conversation will explore our attitudes about technology and perhaps see it in a new light.
Dave and Dean are going to battle it out to share their favorite and best apps you’ve never heard of. Each has 3 minutes to convince you, the audience which tool is better. As an audience, you'll be able to share your favorites as well. This session is designed to be fun and fast paced
There won’t be a test and deeper learning won’t be on it! In this session we will explore critical thinking, problem solving, discussion, and the joy of figuring things out.
With a little training, spreadsheets can be your friend. Eileen has been spreading the gospel of spreadsheets for years with practical tips & steps to help you “see” what's in the data without breaking a sweat. If data analysis scares you, you’ll be happy you joined us.
If there’s no test, how will we know that our scholars are picking up what we’re putting down? It’ll look different in each of our classrooms, so let’s share ideas for assessing understanding.
