SUMMARY:Invent To Learn in a Reggio Context Workshop
DESCRIPTION:These workshops are SOLD OUT – please contact us for information on possible future dates later this spring.\n\nMaking\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom in a Reggio Emilia Context\nJoin us for a unique workshop combining a hands-on Invent To Learn workshop with a visit to the extraordinary Wonder of Learning Exhibition from Reggio Emilia\, Italy.\n \nWith Gary Stager\, Ph.D. & Sylvia Martinez\nauthors of Invent To Learn: Making\, Tinkering\, and Engineering in the Classroom. \nFebruary 12 or 13\, 2015\n9:00 AM – 6:00 PM\nFeb 12 information and registration (SOLD OUT) \nFeb 13 information and registration (SOLD OUT) \n\nJoin colleagues for a day 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. \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. \nLunch is on your own within walking distance of the workshop.\nFrom 9 AM – 3 PM you will be engaged in project development at Marymount School and then travel by subway to Brooklyn to visit the remarkable Wonder of Learning Exhibition. (at nominal personal expense for subway fare) You will leave from the exhibition at your leisure. (Google Map) \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\nHow to incorporate found\, recycled\, and reclaimed materials in project development\nThe big ideas behind the Reggio Emilia Approach and bringing “Digital Reggio” to life in classrooms\nThe intellectual and creative capacity of even the youngest children\n\n\nThe municipal preschools and infant/toddler centers of the small Italian city of of Reggio Emilia\, are frequently referred to as “the best schools in the world.” The remarkable insights and expertise developed over fifty years of learner-centered\, inquiry-based\, hands-on learning with the youngest children provides practical wisdom for teaching learners of all ages. The “Reggio Approach” has been centered on learning-by-making for decades and provides a rich context for situating the maker movement in schools. Dr. Stager is an expert in the “Reggio Emilia Approach\,” and has visited the exhibition several times. During the workshop\, he will prepare participants to more fully appreciate and understand the remarkable exhibition. \n\nFabrication with cardboard and found materials\, wearable computing\, Arduino micro controllers\, Humingbird robotics\, littleBits\, Circuit Stickers\, Circuit Scribe conductive pens 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). Invention is the mother of learning! \nThis workshop is suitable for all grades and subject areas. \n \nAbout the presenters\nGary Stager is an internationally known champion for student-centered authentic technology use\, an entertaining speaker\, and the world’s foremost authority on teaching children of all ages to program. A certified preschool and primary teacher\, Dr. Stager worked closely with Seymour Papert for more than two decades and his doctoral research at The University of Melbourne was based on work with Dr. Papert in creating a high-tech alternative learning environment for incarcerated teen at-risk learners. That work was heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach\, which he has studied for decades. Gary is also the Special Assistant to the Head of School for Innovation at The Willows Community School in Culver City\, California. \n\nSylvia Martinez works in schools around the world to bring the power of authentic learning into classrooms\, particularly in Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) subjects.

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.

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!
