SUMMARY:Perth\, Australia - Educational Trends to Fear\, Fight and Embrace
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. \nEducational Trends to Fear\, Fight and Embrace\nAN EVENT DESIGNED FOR SCHOOL LEADERS \nWe stand on the shoulders of giants and know what to do on behalf of the children we serve\, but will we do the right thing? \nThis freewheeling conversation with a provocative thinker\, whose recent work has included teaching and mentoring some of Australia’s “most troubled” public schools\, should inspire educators in the role as classroom and civic leaders. \nNo question is off-limits! \nClick Here To Register Online

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.

SUMMARY:Leadership 3.0 Symposium 2014 - Sylvia (keynote)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will be the closing keynote for the Leadership 3.0 Symposium\, April 10-12\, 2014 in San Mateo\, CA. \nThe Maker Movement: What School Leaders Need to Know – April 12\, 11AM\nThe Maker Movement is a global revolution celebrating creativity\, ingenuity\, problem-solving\, and lifelong learning using 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. \n \nThe Leadership 3.0 Symposium is a collaborative effort of the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA)\, Computer Using Educators\, Inc. (CUE)\, Technology Information Center for Administrative Leadership (TICAL). It is truly “for administrators\, by administrators.” Three organizations\, one mission – Educational Leadership for the 21st century.

SUMMARY:Invent to Learn (half-day workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will lead a hands-on\, minds-on pre-conference workshop for the RAVSAK 2014 conference\, Moving the Needle: Galvanizing Change in our Day Schools. \nIn this hands on\, minds-on workshop\, educators\, administrators and board members can test drive some of the most innovative technology available today. Learn how the “can-do” attitude and cool tools of the global Maker Movement\, plus tried and true project-based learning can revitalize learner-centered education. Technology like 3D printing\, robotics\, microcontrollers\, sensors\, wearable computers\, conductive thread\, glue\, and paint offer affordable opportunities to engage students both in the classroom and in after-school programs. Learn how to make the case that “making” is not vocational or just “crafts” – but a deeply rich\, rigorous\, and academic experience that enhances all subjects and grade levels.

SUMMARY:Invent To Learn: Lessons for K-12 Education from the Maker Movement (Sylvia Keynote)
DESCRIPTION:Sylvia will keynote the January 2014 “Engaging the Digital Learner” Digital Dinner Series in Surrey School District\, British Columbia\, Canada. \nInvent To Learn: Lessons for K-12 Education from the Maker Movement (Sylvia Keynote)\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.
