DESCRIPTION:Update May 30\, 2014\nA very special guest will be at the Invent To Learn@ISTE 2014! Tom Lauwer\, inventor of the extraordinary Hummingbird and Finch robotics kits will be at the workshop with his newest creation\, the Hummingbird Duo. You will be the first to see and play with this amazing new robotics kit\, which is currently a Kickstarter project. So be the first on your block to tinker with the Hummingbird Duo and hang out with the guy who designed and built it! \nRegister today\nBefore ISTE Starts – Make\, Tinker\, and Learn!\n \nJoin Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager for an energizing day of “hard fun” as we invent\, tinker\, and learn how to incorporate hands-on project-based learning in the classroom. Participants will engage in a variety of projects using modern tools and technology – the perfect way to get ready for ISTE. \n\nContinental breakfast\nScrumptious hot buffet lunch\nCoffee\, tea and soft drinks all-day\nEasy access: On MRTA line just 2 miles from the ISTE Conference (Gold and Red lines\, Midtown Station)\n\nDate: Saturday\, June 28th 2014 (You will have plenty of time to get to the ISTE opening session) \nTime: 9AM – 3PM \nLocation: Hudson Grille Midtown 942 Peachtree Street NE (map) \nPrice: $85 includes 6 hour workshop\, continental breakfast\, lunch\, snacks and drinks! ($95 after May 15\, 2014) \nRegister today – space is limited!\nWorkshop description\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. \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. \nFabrication with cardboard and found materials\, squishy electronic circuits\, wearable computing\, Arduino\, Lilypad\, sewing with electronics\, paper craft\, robotics\, conductive paint\, LEGO WeDo\, Hummingbird\, Little Bits\, ProBots\, Thymio\, MakeDo\, Rolobox\, arts & crafts\, and computer programming are all on the menu. \nBring a laptop and your imagination.

SUMMARY:EngagED NWI (Sylvia keynote)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will keynote the EngagED NWI conference in Lowell\, IN on June 17 & 18. \nJune 18 Keynote: \nLessons for K-12 Educators from the Maker Movement \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. \nFollow up session: \nPBL 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. \n \n

SUMMARY:Perth\, Australia - Making\, Love\, and Learning
DESCRIPTION:GARY STAGER FORUMS ANNOUNCED\n\nThe SSTUWA welcomes Gary Stager to engage\, motivate and celebrate with school leaders and teachers. Gary Stager’s conference presentations\, keynote addresses and school presentations are known for being provocative\, witty and full of examples of children doing remarkable things. \nThis internationally recognized educator\, author\, speaker and consultant returns to Perth for the first time in years to share his observations collected from direct experience in schools around the world. Although there are powerful forces hell bent on eroding the public’s confidence in education\, privatizing public schools\, and turning classrooms into joyless factories focused on standardization\, there is room for great optimism as well. \nIn the 21st Century\, educators need to create productive contexts for learning in which students are prepared to solve problems their school never even imagined. \nMaking\, Love and Learning\nA FORUM DESIGNED FOR ALL EDUCATORS \nArt and science converge and are amplified by computing. When the artificial boundaries between subject areas are blurred and ever student requires the same process skills and tools\, the distinction between vocational and academic education are obliterated. \nJoin Gary to reflect and consider new ideas and skills to support learner-centred practices that prepare kids to solve problems teachers would never anticipate! \nClick Here To Register Online
