A Learning Cycle Approach to the Flipped Classroom

Despite recent buzz, misconceptions about the "flipped" classroom are rampant. This session will deconstruct and re-define this concept, placing multimedia in the context of an inquiry based learning cycle where videos facilitate, rather than provide, knowledge construction. Current research, tangible tools, and an instructional model will be presented.

*Available as a presentation or workshop. Description and content is flexible based on need.

Cultivating Curiosity
Using Questions to Fuel Instruction

As Sir Ken Robinson states: "Curiosity is the engine of achievement". Using examples from the classroom, the research and society, this session will explore curiosity as a cognitive construct and pedagogical tool. Simple resources and instructional strategies used to spark curiosity will be presented, and case studies will be analyzed.

*Available as a presentation or workshop. Description and content is flexible based on need.

PseudoTeaching
Diagnosis and Treatment

Defined by teachers Frank Noschese and John Burke as a lesson that "...looks like it should result in meaningful learning...but was flawed and resulted in minimal learning" this session will share one teacher's PseudoTeaching journey. Through video, classroom examples, and student testimonials, this session will diagnose and attempt to treat this problem.

*Available as a presentation or workshop. Description and content is flexible based on need.

Practice Reflection
Embracing the Mess of Learning

Despite current research that calls for educators to place exploration before explanation, the "mess" of student discovery, and awareness of student misconceptions can challenge any teacher's pedagogical tool kit. Through case studies and classroom examples, this session will help inspire educators to "embrace the mess" of active learning!

*Available as a presentation or workshop. Description and content is flexible based on need.

Video as an Instructional Device

Within the last two years, popularity of You Tube, Khan Academy, and a myriad of different production tools have placed video under an education technology microscope.

Technology as a Pedagogical Partner

As Rushton Hurley states: "Technology won’t turn a bad teacher into a good one. But a good teacher, using technology well, can do great things."

Through a lens of pedagogy, tools and strategies will be shared.

Sparking Curiosity
Using Questions to Fuel Instruction

An emphasis will be made on tangible strategies for sparking student curiosity, and how technology may operate as a strategic partner in this process.

Students as Heroes
The Learning Cycle as a Call to Adventure

When analyzed side-by-side, Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, and common representations of the Inquiry-Based Learning Cycle, have much in common. Both paths begin with an engaged, challenged participant, involve intervention from a mentor, and lead the learner to a state of physical and mental transformation. This session will provide tangible strategies for interpreting and leveraging the Hero's Journey as a lesson planning tool and instructional device.

Practical EdTech
Leveraging Simple Tools in Powerful Ways

Through classroom examples and live demonstrations, this session will help teachers develop, and more importantly, trust in, a simple and streamlined set of tools. Great teaching has been happening long before the advent of technology, and by simplifying our approach to technology integration, we can merge the best of both worlds!
