SUMMARY:ISACS 2014 - NEW WAYS TO TEACH\, NEW WAYS TO LEARN (Sylvia)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will be making two featured presentations at the annual Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) conference.  \n 1. Making the Case for “Making” in the Classroom \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. \n2. PBL Gets a “Make”-Over – Prompts\, Scaffolding\, and Assessment for the Maker Classroom \nOf course students should have powerful hands-on project-based experiences in the classroom – but how does that happen? This session will explore how to design engaging prompts with helpful (but not TOO helpful) scaffolding. We will also discuss how to manage the project process when students are using cutting edge technology integrated with iterative design. Participants will learn about new research on assessment for projects and real classroom practices with students using modern technology and materials.

SUMMARY:World Maker Faire
DESCRIPTION:Gary and Sylvia will present at World Maker Faire in NYC\, Sept 20-21\, 2014 \nPractical Advice for Bringing Making to School\n\n\n\nDay\nStart Time\nEnd Time\nLocations\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\n11:00 AM\n11:30 AM\nMake: Education Stage\n\n\nSunday\n11:30 AM\n12:00 PM\nMake: Education Stage\n\n\n\nParents of makers know that when their children are programming\, building robots\, and inventing\, they are learning. Yet at school\, learning becomes serious and sometimes boring. Why can’t learning at school be like the vibrant\, joyful learning we see at Maker Faire\, and in homes of makers all around the world? \nIn the spirit of Maker Faire and global making\, we will share practical advice for parents of makers\, educators\, and makers themselves who want to re-make schools into places where children love to learn once again. \nIn true Maker fashion\, everyone has a part to play in this revolution!

SUMMARY:How and Why To Teach Children to Code
DESCRIPTION:Presidents\, Prime Ministers\, Silicon Valley billionaires\, and members of the maker community are calling for children to “code.\,” but what does that mean? Web sites and non-profit organizations have been created based on the assumption that self-selecting kids will teach themselves. Such an approach leaves too much to chance and assures inequitable opportunity. A presenter with 30+ years of experience will explore the how\, what\, and why of teaching computer science to children in a developmentally appropriate fashion so they learn a lot more than just how to code. Pedagogical strategies will be shared.
