Welcome & Keynote

When technology is used effectively and responsibly we have the ability to share many things, including our thoughts, ideas, and learning in a variety of ways. In some cases, these thoughts can drive change from how we learn to even greater change within our social and political systems. We also need to have a strong understanding of what equity, diversity, and learning culture truly mean. The key is to leverage the use of our "voice" as a catalyst for representing and presenting our thinking. This keynote will take a close look at how technology can and is being used as a conduit for our voice. Everyone has a voice and every voice should be heard.

Solve Your World with Three Act Math

Limited Capacity seats available

People love stories—it is human nature. So why not teach math like a story, with three parts to every problem? Three Act Math is an inquiry-based learning strategy used to teach mathematics at any grade level. Rather than reading a problem from a textbook, each problem begins with the first act—a prompt of an image or short video to ignite curiosity. This makes each problem engaging and connected to the real world. Then based on this prompt, students determine the driving question to carry them throughout the math problem. If this strategy interests you, join this session to learn how the rest of the story ends!

Storytelling with ScratchJr (Computer Science + Literacy in Grades K-3)

Limited Capacity filling up

ScratchJr is an introductory programming language that enables young children (ages 5-8) to create their own interactive stories. This is a beautiful opportunity for interdisciplinary learning with literacy, as storytelling in ScratchJr can be an engaging and meaningful extension of writer's workshop. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves -- then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life. Teachers can help students learn to express themselves in a creative way, while also focusing on important literacy concepts, like sequence, plot elements, character development, and dialogue.

In this session, we will spend time exploring some of the many ways in which we can be creative with Chromebooks. These devices open up so much space for students to share their thinking and learning in new ways. Some of the examples to be shared, demonstrated, and discussed include music, art, video game design, coding, 3D design, the maker movement, etc. This is the new and improved “free time!” All of these tools and resources can be accessed with Chromebooks, many of them integrate directly with G Suite, and every single thing students create is shared through Google Drive in just one click. This session isn’t just for art and music teachers! It’s for anyone who would like to see what Chromebooks can really do. It’s for anyone who would like to see their students have more choice in how they share their learning. It’s for you!

Defeat Darth Boredom: The Search For An Epic Learning Adventure

Limited Capacity seats available

Jedi educators gather to travel the hero’s journey in an everlasting adventure called Learning. Unfortunately, Gaia faces a disengagement curse set by the dark lord, Darth Boredom, which is now spreading virally throughout many educational stations. Though legend says there is an undiscovered power, Gamification, that we can harness to provide us an opportunity to possibly counter Darth Boredom’s power’s and give us time to empower our learners in Learning. If we are to wield this power, we must understand what it is, how it is used in a variety designs, why it might be useful, and understand its benefits/limitations. Will gamification solve the disengagement curse that Darth Boredom placed on Gaia's youth?

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How might we integrate game mechanics into our instructional design so that we can engage youth in learning?
