SUMMARY:II Congreso Revolución en la Educación: Escuelas de Innovación
DESCRIPTION:Gary Stager will be a keynote speaker and lead breakout sessions at this conference in Bogota\, Colombia. \n\nKeynote: \n\nBeyond Creativity: Educating for an Uncertain World \nJoin Dr. Gary Stager as he makes the case for embracing modernity as a way of preserving the finest traditions of child development and preparing children to solve problems neither their parents or teachers can imagine. As a father\, grandfather\, and veteran educator\, Gary remains optimistic that each kid can realize their potential if parents and educators are courageous enough to stand on the side of children. During his presentation\, Gary will illustrate how learning-by-doing\, new technological materials\, and timeless craft traditions can supercharge the learning process. He will encourage us to educate for the the future of our kids\, rather than our past\, and demonstrate how not all screens are created equally. Along the way\, he will share evidence of educators more than up to this herculean challenge. \n\nLearn how to prepare children to solve problems that neither their parents or teachers can imagine\nUnderstand how emerging technology may amplify the potential of each student\nSee how learning-by-doing\, new technological materials\, and timeless craft traditions can supercharge the learning process\n\nSessions: \n\n\nA Conversation with Gary Stager\nDr. Gary Stager is considered one of the world’s leading authority on learning-by-doing\, robotics\, computer programming\, and the maker movement in classrooms. He led professional development in the world’s first “laptop schools” 28 years ago\, created one of the first online Masters degree programs for educators\, worked with severely at-risk learners\, and collaborated with Seymour Papert for two decades. Over the past thirty-five years\, he has worked in schools on six continents and taught learners from preschool through the doctoral level. This session represents a rare opportunity to ask questions and engage in freewheeling discussions about the future of education following his conference keynote.\n\n\nTeaching Coding and Physical Computing\nLearn how a project-approach to computer programming\, robotics\, and physical computing can serve a diverse student population while developing your own skills. This workshop will explore powerful ideas from computer science and engineering that may be employed in the solving of problems across the curriculum. A review of software and hardware options will be explored in addition to two focused programming and robotics activities. Participants will also have experience with the BBC Micro:bit and other low-cost “microcontroller development boards” offering great potential for learning through making\, tinkering\, and engineering in the classroom. \n\n \nReinventing Children’s Mathematics\nThere may be no greater gap between a discipline and the teaching done in its name than when the beauty\, power and mystery of mathematics become math instruction. One can only begin to address the systemic challenges of math education by understanding the nature of mathematics and the power of computing. Nearly 100 years of efforts to increase achievement with unchanged curricular content continues to fail spectacularly; yet\, we do not change course. This state-of-affairs undermines other efforts at school progress. Surely\, the widespread availability of computational technology demands new pedagogical approaches and a new diet of mathematics.

SUMMARY:STEM Class of 2019 – Invent To Learn with Emerging Technology
DESCRIPTION:2019 promises great opportunities for physical computing and coding featuring remarkable new technologies. This workshop will introduce remarkable new technologies that may be used today to amplify the potential of each learner and expand the breadth\, depth\, and range of projects possible. \n \nLearn how Scratch 3.0\, micro:bits\, Hummingbird Bit robotics kit\, Circuit Playground Express\, Microsoft Makecode\, microblocks\, and other emerging technology can supercharge project-based learning across the curriculum. Not only is it unprecedented for as much computational power to be accessible to children and usable in a playful creative fashion\, but the low cost of these materials democratize powerful learning opportunities. These technologies and related constructive materials create great opportunities to bring progressive education ideals to life in any school. They also provide a fertile context for learning coding\, engineering\, and physical computing. During the workshop\, we will also discuss how such technologies may be used to address the Digital Learning Technologies curriculum effectively. \n \nThe workshop is being hosted by one of our favourite and most progressive schools.

SUMMARY:ASCD Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Gary Stager will be leading a two-hour learning lab at the ASCD Annual Conference in Boston on March 25\, 2018. \n\n\n\n\nWhat If We Were Serious About Computer Science For All? \n\n\n\n\nNational and international calls to teach computer science to every child K-12 are laudable and in serious danger of being the most spectacular failure in the history of overhyped\, and ultimately failed\, educational innovations. Such an eventuality should be avoided since learning to program is a critical aspect of agency over an increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated world. Despite unprecedented access to computational tools\, very few students engage in any computing. This workshop intends to begin addressing this deficit through activities modeling sound pedagogical practices for teaching programming across grades and the curriculum. It will argue that computing is essential for computational thinking\, problem solving\, math education\, school reform and project-based learning that extend beyond rhetoric or vocabulary acquisition. We will think about how to teach programming as a consequence of actual programming experiences and lend a critical eye to the curricular curricula proposed by governments around the world.

SUMMARY:National FutureSchools Conference Keynote & Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Gary Stager is returning to Australia to once again keynote the FutureSchools Conference in his adopted second hometown of Melbourne in March 2018.\n\nHe will be leading a masterclass\, keynote address\, and a presentation on the Expo floor.\n\nMaking\, Coding\, and Engineering Whether You Have a Makerspace or Not (masterclass)\nThe co-author of “the bible of the maker movement in schools\,” 1:1 computing pioneer\, and popular speaker\, Gary Stager\, returns to Australia to lead a masterclass based on thirty-five years of helping teachers realize the power of learning-by-doing in their classrooms. Participants will gain benefit of the expertise Gary has developed leading “making” workshops around the world for the past four years. This work is distilled into a several rich hands-on making\, coding\, and engineering activities using a variety of affordable technologies that may be successfully implemented in any classroom.\n\nLearn to learn and teach with in the exciting world of Hummingbird robotics\, littleBits\, Scratch\, Snap!\, Turtle Art\, wearable electronics\, microcontrollers\, digital paper craft\, programmable toys\, and other new materials in a project-based context.\n\n\nYou will learn: \n\nHow new tools and technology can reinvigorate Project-Based Learning\nBest classroom practices for integrating maker technology\nHow to plan engaging projects based on the TMI design model\nHow to choose the technologies with the maximum learning impact\nHow to make the case for making\, tinkering\, and engineering across the curriculum\n\n\n\nBring a laptop and your imagination. We’ll supply the rest (craft materials\, art supplies\, construction elements). This workshop is suitable for all schools\, grades\, and subject areas.\n\nBeyond Creativity: Educating for an Uncertain World (main presentation)\nJoin Dr. Gary Stager as he makes the case for embracing modernity as a way of preserving the finest traditions of child development and preparing children to solve problems neither their parents or teachers can imagine. As a father\, grandfather\, and veteran educator\, Gary remains optimistic that each kid can realize their potential if parents and educators are courageous enough to stand on the side of children. During his presentation\, Gary will illustrate how learning-by-doing\, new technological materials\, and timeless craft traditions can supercharge the learning process. He will encourage us to educate for the the future of our kids\, rather than our past\, and demonstrate how not all screens are created equally. Along the way\, he will share evidence of educators more than up to this herculean challenge.\n\nMaking the Digital Technologies Curriculum Meaningful (expo talk)\nLook hard enough and you should find objectives in the Australian and state Digital Technologies curricula that may be used to support rich\, relevant\, and authentic project-based learning across the P-12 curriculum. Dr. Stager will help you navigate the mountain of tables\, objectives\, and contradictory messages so that all educators have the courage to begin realizing the power of digital technologies to learn and do what was perhaps unimaginable just a few years ago with a sense of urgency and confidence. He will define critical terms\, dispel myths\, and offer an expansive educational vision that builds upon the new curriculum.\n\nSubscribe to our newsletter for more information about this and other upcoming events.\nSaveSave \nSaveSave

SUMMARY:ASB Unplugged 2018
DESCRIPTION:Gary Stager will once again be a featured presenter at the ASB Unplugged Conference in Mumbai where he will lead a full-day pre-conference workshop and two half-day workshops. \nFull day pre-conference workshop \nReinvent Mathematics Education and You Change the World\nThere may be no greater gap between a discipline and the teaching done in its name than when the beauty\, power and mystery of mathematics become math instruction. Nary a single pedagogical innovation of the past century has had any impact on school math instruction. If that alone were insufficiently troublesome\, its negative impact on all other aspects of schooling is too often underestimated. No matter how child-centered or progressive a school might think itself to be\, a failure to address “math” means that coercion is ultimately reintroduced into the system. Such coercion is corrosive and will ultimately erode any other progress. So\, what to do?\n\nOne can only begin to address the systemic challenges of math education by understanding the nature of mathematics and the power of computing. Countess decades worth of efforts to increase achievement with unchanged curricular content continues to fail spectacularly; yet\, we do not change course. Surely\, the widespread availability of computational technology demands new pedagogical approaches and a new diet of mathematics.This workshop moves beyond the goal of making math instruction engaging for children by providing educators with authentic mathematical thinking experiences. Such experiences acknowledge the role computers play in mathematics and society’s increasing demand for computational thinking. Project-based approaches with mathematics at the center of the activity will be explored. Traditional concepts such as numeracy\, geometry\, probability and graphing will be investigated in addition to exciting new branches of mathematics rarely found in the primary grades. Such experiences are required for educators seeking to create a new diet of mathematics for children.This workshop is designed for teachers of grades K-8\, but there is plenty to offer high school teachers as well\, particularly in the areas of computation and rethinking the math curriculum.\nHalf-DayThree QuestionsEducators like to talk about educational transformation\, reinvention\, or even revolution\, but their practical vision for achieving such dreams rarely extends past step one. Educators yearning to create more productive contexts for learning should at least be able to answer three essential questions about teaching and learning. This session will introduce three provocative questions via classroom vignettes and the perspectives of big thinkers whose ideas can and should shape future pedagogical practice  Then there will be a chance to think aloud\, clarify your stance towards the future of education\, and begin planning for implementation.A companion eBook on radical educational practices will be shared.\n\nMaking Computer Science For All A Reality\n \nNational and international calls to teach computer science to every child K-12 are laudable and in serious danger of being the most spectacular failure in the history of overhyped\, and ultimately failed\, educational innovations. Such an eventuality should be avoided since learning to program is a critical aspect of agency over an increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated world. Every career requires programming skill and the great scientist Stephen Wolfram predicts that in the near future\, current occupations will be challenged by versions of the same\, preceded by the term\, “computational.” There will be computational art\, computational history\, computational biology\, computational engineering\, etc… Programming is also fun and a meaningful context for learning math and science.\n\nDespite unprecedented access to computational tools\, very few student engage in any computing. This workshop intends to begin addressing this deficit through a discussion of sound pedagogical practices for teaching programming across grades and across the curriculum. It will argue that computing is essential for computational thinking\, problem solving\, math education\, and project-based learning that extend beyond rhetoric or vocabulary acquisition. We will think about how to teach programming as a consequence of actual programming experiences and lend a critical eye to the preposterous scope and sequences proposed by governments around the world.\n\nThis workshop will also explore how block-based languages offer beginners and their teachers a comfortable on-ramp to computer programming\, but are not inferior “baby languages.” We will look at a range of block-based environments for PC\, Mac\, and iOS that support the creation of animated stories\, video games\, mathematical microworlds\, complex simulations\, 3D design\, robots\, and controlling popular toys\, including Sphero\, Dot and Dash\, and LEGO. It is even possible to 3D print objects programmed in Beetleblocks\, a block-based programming language. Pedagogical techniques for introducing computer science and stimulating inquiry will be modeled and classroom implementation strategies discussed.\n\nSubscribe to our newsletter for more information about this and other upcoming events.
