SUMMARY:Educon 2.9
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager will lead sessions at Educon 2.9\, January 27-29\, 2017 in Philadelphia. Educon is an innovation conference where we can come together\, both in person and virtually\, to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams. \nSessions dates and locations TBA \nWhat the E? A Modern Understanding of Engineering in STEAM\n\nSylvia Martinez\n\nEngineering is one of the least discussed components of STEAM education. This session will be a conversation about what engineering should look like in K-12. Is it simply hands-on science? Do you need a special curriculum? Is it only for students who are thinking of engineering as a college major? \n\nComputer Science For All – Cutting through the opportunities\, challenges\, and confusion\n\nGary S. Stager Ph.D.\n\nPresident Obama recently proclaimed a goal of computer science education for every student. Progressive educators should lead such a movement. This session will explore the mutually supportive nature of making\, progressive ideals\, and computer science education\, while cutting through the confusion associated with the hype. \n\n\nThree Questions\n\nGary S. Stager Ph.D.\n\nMythopoeic theory suggests that you teach based on a personal myth about how learning occurs. When terms like genius\, revolution\, transformation\, and reform get tossed about\, it’s worth taking a deep breath to clarify basic beliefs about learning\, teaching\, and educational progress. We will explore three essential questions for educators.

SUMMARY:FETC Featured Sessions and Workshops - Orlando
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will lead two spotlight sessions and two workshops at the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) << This link gives you a special discount code! \n \n\n\nW065: PBL Gets a “Make” over: Prompts\, Challenges\, and Assessment for Makerspaces and Maker Classrooms\nWednesday 25 January 8:00 AM – 10:30 AM \n\nLocation: \nHyatt Regency – Bayhill 27\n\n\nTrack: \nFuture of EdTech Educator\n\nLearn how to design powerful hands-on project-based experiences in the classroom for your students. Explore the practical aspects of project design and deep dive into project based learning concepts. You will learn about new research on assessment for projects and real classroom practices with students using modern technology and materials. Learn how to design engaging prompts with helpful (but not TOO helpful) scaffolding and build lessons that create curious learners. Discover how to manage the project process when students are using cutting edge technology integrated with iterative design. You will learn the methods and discover the strategies must useful for implementing project based learning immediately. Additionally\, in this workshop\, you will see how leadership can support this shift in classroom practice and collaboration can inspire global connections. Experience the power of technology embedded pedagogy! BYOD. Beginners welcome.\n\n\n\n\nW066: Where Do I Start? Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom or Makerspace\nWednesday 25 January 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM \n\nLocation: \nHyatt Regency – Bayhill 27\n\n\nTrack: \nFuture of EdTech Educator\n\nGet started with “making” in the classroom! Join the author of Invent To Learn to discover the steps for successful making at your school. This hands-on workshop will showcase the power of making\, tinkering\, and engineering. Explore learning by doing with a wide range of new materials and technologies that support all content subjects. Experience the use of design thinking\, genius hour\, PBL\, and other classroom frameworks that support hands-on\, minds-on learning for all grade levels. Discover how making asks the maker to create something outside of themselves that expresses their own thoughts and ideas. See how the technological game-changers of 3D printing and computer science require and fuel transformations in the learning environment. Gain knowledge of the options and ideas for the best starter purchases\, makerspace design\, and where to find free and low cost supplies. BYOD. Beginners Welcome.\n\n\n\n\nC106: Girls & STEM: Leadership for Inclusion\, Equity\, and Action\nThursday 26 January 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM \n\nLocation: \nOrange County Convention Center – South 330H\n\n\nTrack: \nFuture of EdTech Administrator\n\nAre there ways that work to interest more girls in STEM\, and keep them interested? This session will explore research\, resources\, and best practices to involve girls of all ages in STEM. Research shows that girls remain interested in STEM activities that are real and relevant\, yet teachers feel that they are both underprepared and discouraged by leadership to deliver this kind of curriculum. Administrators\, however\, report that they support and encourage these activities. Where is the disconnect? What is reality and how is it affecting students? What is really happening in classrooms despite the rhetoric of STEM/STEAM? Participants will learn about the potential to bring new tools and technology to K-12 classrooms to support hands-on learning across all grades and curriculum – plus areas that are of particular interest to girls\, such as inventions that help people\, sewable electronics\, e-textiles\, bio-materials\, citizen science\, and community projects. Hands-on projects and tools can engage girls (and all learners) in STEM activities that matter. We will explore how the collaborative\, tinkering nature of global revolutions like the maker movement\, open source\, and project-based learning dovetails with girls ability to work collaboratively and in a connected way. Creating a culture and climate of inclusion and equity\, goes well beyond the lessons in a classroom or buying the right tools and technology. Culture\, both in schools and organizations\, must be co-created and supported in multiple ways and over the long term. It is not just a once a year training\, or special opportunities for girls.\n\n\n\n\nC410: A Global Revolution Goes to School: The Maker Movement\nThursday 26 January 2:00 PM – 2:40 PM \n\nLocation: \nOrange County Convention Center – North 220AB\n\n\nTrack: \nFuture of EdTech Educator\n\nThe Maker Movement is a revolutionary global collaboration of people learning to solve problems with modern tools and technology. Adults and children are combining new technologies and timeless craft traditions to create exciting projects and control their world. The implications are profound for schools and districts concerned with engaging students\, maintaining relevance\, and preparing children to solve problems unanticipated by the curriculum. The technological game-changers of 3D printing\, physical computing and computer science require and fuel transformations in the learning environment. K-12 educators can adapt the powerful technology and “can do” maker ethos to revitalize learner-centered teaching and learning in all subject areas.

SUMMARY:2016 Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) Annual Conference (Sylvia panel)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia is an invited presenter for a panel on innovation at the 2016 Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) Annual Conference \n\nASEE’s annual Engineering Deans Institute (EDI) provides an opportunity for engineering deans- and only deans- to gather and discuss the crucial issues facing their schools\, colleges\, and profession. For a few days\, a single-stream program fosters dialogue between deans\, industry leaders\, and those in important roles in research and government. Deans share best practices\, learn about career prospects for their graduates\, and develop a voice for engineering education and the role of engineering in society. Social activities and plenty of time for conversation encourage the cultivation of relationships and an intensely rewarding experience. \nEDI is sponsored by the ASEE Engineering Deans Council and its Executive Board.

SUMMARY:ASB Unplugged (Gary Stager - Featured Speaker & Workshop Leader)
DESCRIPTION:Gary will return to The American School of Bombay for the 5th time and his 3rd ASB Unplugged Conference. \nHis sessions include: \nProgramming: The New Liberal Art – Why and How to Teach It (full-day preconference) \nIn the mid-1960s\, Seymour Papert asked\, “Does the computer program the child or the child program the computer.” Programming is a way of seeing. \nBeyond vocational benefits\, computer programming gives young people agency over an increasingly complex technologically sophisticated world. Programming is fundamental to engineering\, science\, making sense of data\, and mirrors the writing process. If your goals are as modest as to improve achievement in ab otherwise unchanged mathematics curriculum\, then we would teach every child to program computers since programming is one of the few contexts for using the math taught to kids. Without programming\, computational thinking becomes a rhetorical exercise. \nDespite these self-evident benefits\, schools go to extraordinary lengths to deprive students of programming experiences. \nThis workshop will provide hands-on experience with creating beautiful art in Turtle Art\, controlling external devices with Snap!\, and flying drones with Tickle (an iPad dialect of Scratch). Examples of K-8 programming integration projects will be shared and we will look at options for teaching the new Computer Science Principles AP course. Strategies for teaching programming across the curriculum and various grade levels will be discussed. \nMaking: Children\, Computers\, and Powerful Ideas (3-hour talk repeated on consecutive mornings) \nWhile this presentation will explore the virtues of learning-by-making and its theoretical and historical contexts\, we will discuss the structural changes necessary to for schools to gain benefit from the maker movement. We must recognize that making is not new\, but may still become a short-term fad without a coherent constructive educational vision having little to do with the construction of a “space.” The roles of expertise\, continuous growth\, prompt setting\, project development\, and curricular design to create the conditions necessary for sustaining and learning from making.

SUMMARY:NAEYC 3-Hour Workshop  (Gary Stager)
DESCRIPTION:Gary will lead a presentation\, “Learning from the Maker Movement in a Reggio Context\,” at the National Association for the Education of Young Children National Conference in Orlando Florida on November 18th. \nRoom W104\nOrange County Convention Center \nBring a laptop! \nJoin colleagues for three hours of hard fun\, creativity\, and problem solving — where computing meets tinkering and design. The workshop begins with the case for project-based learning\, making\, tinkering\, and engineering. Next\, we will discuss strategies for effective prompt setting. You will view examples of children engaged in complex problem solving with new game-changing technologies and identify lessons for your own classroom practice. Powerful ideas from the Reggio Emilia Approach\, breakthroughs in science education\, and the global maker movement combine to create rich learning experiences. This is where S.T.E.M. and timeless craft traditions super-charge each other. Participants will have the chance to tinker with a range of exciting new low- and high-tech construction materials that can really amplify the potential of your students. Fabrication with cardboard and found materials\, wearable computing\, Arduino micro controllers\, Humingbird robotics\, littleBits\, Circuit Stickers\, Circuit Scribe conductive ink pens and computer programming are all on the menu. Bring a laptop and your imagination. We’ll supply the rest (craft materials\, art supplies\, construction elements). Invention is the mother of learning!
