How We Shift Our Teaching When We Have Tech (Teach Like Google and YouTube)

It’s a new day and age in our schools. Gone are the days of card catalogs and relying on an encyclopedia as the best source of information. Let’s teach in a way that takes advantage of the many resources at our students’ fingertips! How can we create a learning environment that not only acknowledges all the amazing tech around us, but embraces it and uses it to its fullest potential? How can we encourage our students to be better and more excited learners with the use of tech? Google and YouTube exist: let’s capitalize on that to make our classes awesome!

Live Online Instruction: A new way to classroom for low income students to impact academic achievement

In this session, Gena Gardiner, former Assistant Superintendent of Highland Park ISD, will share how school districts in Texas are utilizing live online instruction to bridge the academic achievement gap for low income students. To best prepare students for the next generation of work, what and how students learn needs to change. A technology-only approach is not the solution to meet the changing needs of our students. In this session, the audience will see how combining technology with human interaction is the future of teaching to engage students and get results. By moving away from a traditional, isolated classroom experience and towards live online instruction, students are able to collaborate with one another to learn and schools are able to utilize technology as a driver for learning rather than the entire solution. In this session, the audience will not only learn about a new way to classroom, but they will also see case studies of those different classroom formats with academic impact data. The audience will also learn key principles and execution pointers on how they can best bring the format of live online instruction to their schools and classrooms!

MakerSpace Curriculum for the Classroom Teacher

Students and teachers love what MakerSpace has to offer a campus. However, many teachers struggle to make the connection between their own content and MakerSpace resources. Furthermore, if the librarian is not available, teachers will often avoid MakerSpace because they don't have time to master the multitude of tools and processes. How can teachers see MakerSpace as a viable resource for their classroom? What do they need to know about MakerSpace to ensure sucessful student products? How can we avoid placing the MakerSpace burden totally on the librarian? Come see how one campus is successfully bridging the gap between classroom content and MakerSpace.

Creative Innovators
When information is ubiquitous and free, and when basic education is available to billions of people worldwide, only one set of skills can ensure this generation's economic future: the capacity for innovation. The skills and dispositions for innovation are equally important for active and informed citizenship. What must parents, teachers, mentors, and employers do to develop the capacities of many more young people to be the innovators that they want to be—and that we need them to become? What do the best schools and colleges do to teach the skills of innovation?

This session will showcase how one school is making strides in the implementation of the RtI process, including staff training, the processing of teacher referrals, and the notification of student accommodations at the high school level.
