After several years of collaboration and coordination with over thirty two authors, I’m pleased to announce that “Designing Effective Blended and Distance Learning Environments in K-12" is officially published!
I’m excited to announce our new monthly EdTechTeacher show “What’s Next in EdTech” streaming live on Youtube! In each episode, we will highlight excited news and resources in the world of educational technology. Each fast-paced episode will be 15-20 minutes and include a show notes document that curates all of the resources mentioned during the episode.
I had the fortunate opportunity to engage in a fascinating discussion with Digital Learning Coach and Innovation Connection presenter Jed Stefanowicz. Jed shares his thoughts on his role as a digital learning coach and strategies to help students develop computational thinking skills through hands-on projects and robotics.
I recently had the opportunity to engage in a discussion with Kyle Wilson, a long-time friend, math coach and presenter at the upcoming Innovation Connection Conference on November 1st, 2021.
In my latest session of our EdTechTeacher Back to School webinar series, I took participants on a dive into “Podcasting with PBL”. Our focus was on exploring ways that we can leverage the power of audio and podcasting to take PBL (Project-Based Learning) units to the next level.
I recently had the opportunity to work with an incredible group of elementary educators from Nauset Schools on Cape Cod. We capped off our PBL workshop by designing project sketches that the teachers would implement later this school year. They were so great, I asked the group if they could share their ideas. The teachers generously agreed, and below are their examples of inspiring yet practical examples of project-based learning at the K-5 level!
This week, I had the pleasure of working with many of the staff at Old Rochester Regional School District (MA) where we explored the intersection and interconnectedness between Project-Based Learning and Social Emotional Learning. Below are several resources that I shared during the session that I believe are worth a look for those interested in student-centered approaches (PBL, Personalized Learning, Design Thinking) and want to learn how we can scaffold and support students’ SEL development throughout the learning process.
