SUMMARY:New Jersey Educational Computing Conference
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stager returns to NJ to speak at the conference he started in 1987 and led for seven years\, NJECC. \nAt this year’s conference\, Gary will be leading a brand new presentation and workshop. \nYour School is Only as Good as Your Math Instruction (presentation)\nNary a single pedagogical innovation of the past century has had any impact on school math instruction. If that alone were insufficiently troublesome\, “math” undermines all other reform efforts. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will explore the following issues:\n1. The critical conflicts between traditional math instruction and effective progressive schooling\n2. How a variety of computational technologies allow students to be mathematicians\, meaningfully explore new knowledge domains\, and increase achievement\n3. Creating a new diet of mathematics that kids can love rather than tricks to teach a math they hate\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Block-Based Environments and Computer Programming (workshop)\nBlock-based languages offer beginners and their teachers a comfortable on-ramp to computer programming\, but they are not “baby languages.” This workshop will explore 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 LEGO. Pedagogical techniques for introducing computational learning and stimulating inquiry will be modeled and classroom implementation strategies discussed. We will also share the remarkable Wolfram Language.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) 2017
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager will lead sessions at the International Society for Technology in Education 2017. \n Everybody Wins When Everybody Codes \nMonday\, June 26\, 9:00–10:00 am\nConvention Center 217Bc \nJane Krauss   Sylvia Martinez\nCoding for all? Sounds great! Now let’s figure out how. Learn how quality curricula\, inclusive pedagogies and intentional support can lead to significant learning for all kids\, including girls and underrepresented groups. Leave with a model pathway you can further develop for the grade band you teach. \n Make It\, Wear It\, Learn It \nMonday\, June 26\, 10:30–11:30 am\nConvention Center Hemisfair Ballroom 2 \nSylvia Martinez\nLearn about new technologies that combine craft traditions with digital electronics. Sewable\, wearable projects invite different students into the maker movement by providing new and multiple on-ramps for a wider range of students. We’ll explore new conductive materials – thread\, fabric\, paint\, glue\, foils and specialty micro controllers. \nBefore You Build a Makerspace: Four Aspects to Consider \nTuesday\, June 27\, 1:45–2:45 pm\nConvention Center 302A \nSylvia Martinez   Gary Stager\nMaking and makerspaces in education conjure up images of students deeply engaged in real\, relevant\, technology-rich projects. But there are four distinct aspects to unpack when creating a maker program: Space\, culture\, process and pedagogy. This session will help education leaders build a roadmap for their school or district. \n Logo at 50: Children\, Computers\, and Powerful Ideas \nTuesday\, June 27\, 4:45–5:45 pm\nConvention Center Hemisfair Ballroom 2 \nGary Stager\nLogo\, the first computer programming language for kids\, was invented in 1967 and is still in use around the world today. This session will discuss the Piagetian roots of Logo\, critical aspects of its design\, and versions today. Anyone interested in CS4All has a lot to learn from Logo. \nLearning From the Maker Movement in a Reggio Context \nWednesday\, June 28\, 8:30–9:30 am\nConvention Center 220 \nGary Stager\nDiscover how the Reggio Emilia Approach that is rooted in a half-century of work with Italian preschoolers and includes profound\, subtle and complex lessons from intensely learner-centered classrooms\, is applicable to all educational settings. Learn what “Reggio” teaches us about learning-by-making\, making learning visible\, aesthetics and PBL.

SUMMARY:Australia - Regional Victoria Invent To Learn Workshops
DESCRIPTION:This special workshop series is sponsored by the Victoria Department of Education and Training. \nDates and Venues: \n\n29 May – Warrnambool (Register here)\n9 June – Maryborough (Register here)\n13 June – Wodonga (Register here)\nSee additional workshop dates in Sydney and Townsville\n\nSpace is limited! Register today! \nThe co-author of “the bible of the maker movement in schools\,” 1:1 computing pioneer\, and popular speaker\, Gary Stager\, returns to Australia for a series of exciting hands-on workshops across Regional Victoria. Learn to learn and teach with Hummingbird robotics\, littleBits\, Scratch\, Snap!\, Turtle Art\, wearable electronics\, Arduino\, digital paper craft\, programmable toys\, and other exciting new materials in a project-based context. \nJoin colleagues for a day of hard fun 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. \nSTEM/STEAM Come to Life!\nParticipants 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. The day culminates in the planning of a classroom project based on the TMI (Think-Make-Improve) design model. Specific contents will be addressed for primary and secondary audiences. \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\n\nFabrication with cardboard and found materials\, electronic circuits\, wearable computing\, Arduino\, robotics\, conductive paint\, drones and computer programming are all on the menu. \nBring a laptop and your imagination. We’ll supply the rest (craft materials\, art supplies\, construction elements).

In addition to being a popular keynote speaker at some of the world’s most prestigious education conferences\, Gary is a journalist\, teacher educator\, consultant\, professor\, software developer\, publisher\, and school administrator. An elementary teacher by training\, he has taught students from preschool through doctoral studies. Gary is the founder of the Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute for educators.\n\nDr. Stager is co-author of Invent To Learn – Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom\, called the “bible of the maker movement in schools\,” by Larry Magid of CBS and The San Jose Mercury News.\nWhen Jean Piaget wanted to better understand how children learn mathematics\, he hired Seymour Papert. When Dr. Papert wanted to create a high-tech alternative learning environment for incarcerated at-risk teens\, he hired Gary Stager. This work was the basis for Gary’s doctoral dissertation and documented Papert’s most-recent institutional research project.\n\n\n Dr. Stager’s work has earned a Ph.D. in Science and Mathematics Education and a Grammy Award.\nGary is also on the advisory board of the NSF-funded project\, BJC4NYC: Bringing a Rigorous Computer Science Principles Course to the Largest School System in the US.\nSpace is limited! Register today!

Es podran deixar amb els guardes de seguretat a l’entrada. \nRecomanem arribar uns 10 minuts abans de l’hora d’inici de la sessió. \n*** \nSylvia Martinez és assessora principal al FabLearn de la Universitat d’Standford i coautora d’Invent to Learn: Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom\, un llibre que s’ha guanyat el sobrenom de «bíblia del Moviment Maker a les aules». Sylvia advoca per l’aprenentatge autèntic utilitzant principis i experiències pràctiques de disseny del món real. Reuneix exemples d’escoles diürnes actuals que utilitzen la tecnologia de manera autèntica amb les seves pròpies experiències del món real del treball en el desenvolupament de videojocs i de l’enginyeria aeroespacial. En els darrers 10 anys ha estat presidenta de la Yes Generation\, una organització sense ànim de lucre que promou el lideratge dels estudiants a través de la tecnologia moderna. Sylvia Martinez és màster en Tecnologia Educativa per la Pepperdine University  i llicenciada en Enginyeria Elèctrica per l’UCLA.
