We are so excited to be back after our summer break and we have the perfect welcome back webinar for you! Getting the new school year off to a great start for both teachers and students is a high priority. We are thrilled to have Shelly Sanchez Terrell, one of our favorite presenters and a faithful supporter of Classroom 2.0 LIVE, as our special guest presenter this week! Shelly will be inspiring us with her fantastic ideas and resources for kicking off the new school year with ideas and tools for icebreakers and community building for both teachers and students.
"It's the little conversations that build the relationships and make an impact on each student." - Robert John Meehan
We can transform our physical and virtual classrooms into active learning communities, where students support each other. The best communities allow students to contribute, collaborate, create, and get to know each other. Students need to build relationships with their peers in order to prevent issues with bullying and ensure the support of one another in succeeding in learning goals. We can encourage this by implementing team building activities, icebreakers, getting-to-know you activities, and collaborative tasks. Shelly is excited to share her fun, inspiring activities and tools with us in our webinar today!
Shelly Sanchez Terrell is an international speaker, elearning and digital learning specialist and the author of Hacking Digital Learning Strategies: 10 Ways to Launch EdTech Missions in Your Classroom, The 30 Goals Challenge for Teachers: Small Steps to Transform Your Teaching, and Learning to Go: Lesson Ideas for Teaching with Mobile Devices, Cell Phones and BYOT. She has trained teachers and taught learners in over 20 countries as an invited guest expert by organizations, like UNESCO Bangkok, the Venezuelan-US Embassy, Cultura Inglesa of Brazil, the British Council in Tel Aviv, IATEFL Slovenia, EduTECH Australia, and HUPE Croatia. She has been recognized by the ELTon Awards, The New York Times, NPR, and Microsoft’s Heroes for Education as a leader in the movement of teacher driven professional development as the founder and organizer of various online conferences, Twitter chats, MOOCs, and webinars. Recently, she was named Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women, awarded a Bammy Award as a founder of #Edchat, and named as one of the 10 Most Influential People in EdTech by Tech & Learning. Her latest project is the creation of Edspeakers to enrich the field of education with passionate voices (spoken and written) from those of diverse experiences and backgrounds.
