My takeaways:
* Research more about the Design Thinking Process * "If you don't learn to be alone, you will only learn to be lonely." by Sherry Turkle * Computer labs should have laptops instead of desktops to allow for mobility * Have students become an expert on one thing they love and teach it to the class * Find free resources for teachers such as Hot Wheels * Find opportunities for students to be involved in the community (Fire department painting) * Check out Confer APP to help with note taking on the students * "If you can Google it, why teach it?" by Alec Couros * Tap into the participatory culture through remixing * Loads of fake information on the internet (i.e. Wave charging in microwave, drilling a hole on new iPhone for earphone jack) How do you teach students to differentiate what's real and what's not? * Have students design tweets from classroom using check in worksheets * Kids updates parents what they are learning in school * Incorporate more mindful opportunities in the classroom
My takeaways:
*If kids are desperate to learn, they will *Persevering and grit is important *Failure is important (https://youtu.be/IMboI4cOAuQ) *Check out Prism, kids see what other kids are thinking so it creates a safer classroom *Use the Wayback Machine *INVOLVE. Use the word "involve" to have kids design the problem. *Learn Google search algorithm. (i.e. site:cu.uk filetype:ppt) *Learn Country Codes *Give students multiple versions of the "truth" (i.e. Vacanti mouse) *Make a class Twitter account *Try BreakoutEDU in the classroom. My takeaways:
