We are excited to welcome two exemplary elementary teachers, Jessie McKinley (music) and Stacy Aguilar ( gifted 4th grade), as our special guest presenters in this week's webinar! Jessie and Stacy are teachers in Camelview School, Madison School District in Phoenix, AZ. They have collaborated to implement a very creative concept using challenge activities that provide a model that is working in both professional learning for teachers and learning in the classroom for students. Join us to learn about this project and to hear their stories and experiences about gamifying these learning opportunities.
Webinar description:
Gamification has hit our school in an innovative way! Listen as two educator’s from Phoenix AZ describe how professional development for educators is building skills and community, and how it metamorphosed into a model for students to also achieve above and beyond what is taught in the regular lesson.

Happy New Year! We are energized and excited to return after our winter break with our Annual Anniversary Celebration. In this first webinar of the New Year we will be celebrating our 9th Anniversary on Classroom 2.0 LIVE as well as holding an Open Mic show on a topic all of us will surely have something we can share! "Back to the Future Classroom 2.0 Style" Which tools were you using in 2009 when Classroom 2.0 LIVE first began? What has changed? How do we do these things today? What is obsolete, what’s on the horizon? Share tools, apps, stories, examples, questions. We chose this topic because we felt it was broad enough to include everyone! Join us, take the mic and share your memories, tools, apps, stories, examples, questions and advice. Paula Naugle will facilitate the conversation and we hope you'll come prepared to share with your headset/earbuds on to take the mic and add to the conversation. We'll have an awesome Livebinder prepared with resources and will look forward to adding your resources to the Livebinder.

We are looking forward to celebrating our Anniversary and to taking a few minutes at the beginning of the show to recognize our amazing 2017 special guest presenters, participants and Advisory Team members with a quick trip down memory lane with a few special memories! We also have some exciting raffle prizes to share with participants throughout the show. Come and join the celebration!

If you haven't caught "Flipgrid Fever" yet, I can guarantee you will have it after you see this inspiring presentation by our special guests, Karly Moura and Sean Fahey! They are passionate, inspired educators who integrate technology throughout their classrooms and lives, and they are particularly enthusiastic about Flipgrid as Flipgrid Ambassadors! Flipgrid is a fantastic K-12 resource that is designed to promote open discussion among all students within your classroom. Teachers post topics, videos, or links for discussions and students respond to the prompt and to each other with short video reflections. Flipgrid is meant to provide a digital space for students to share and reflect on ideas with their teacher and with their peers. It is a video response platform where educators can have online video discussions with students or other educators. Teachers can provide feedback to students AND better yet students can provide feedback to one another. Join us to catch the Flipgrid Fever!

Intentional Learning Centers: Making the Most of Station Rotation

11/18/2017

Date: Saturday November 18, 2017
Time: 9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

We are really looking forward to hearing from our special guest presenter, Brittany Miller, who is a Digital Learning Coach in Raleigh, North Carolina at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Brittany is passionate about supporting teachers with the use of digital learning in their classrooms. She believes that in order to inspire teachers to rethink their roles in the classroom, and to build their capacity for student-centered learning, we have to first shake up the way we are teaching them! She will be sharing some of the strategies she recommends in her work with teachers.

Webinar description:
One of the most popular Blended Learning Models is Station Rotation. In this session, we will be sharing how to intentionally plan and organize stations that engage students, minimize distractions, and enable the teacher to facilitate and meet individual student needs.

Brittany's philosophy is that if we want student-centered, personalized learning in our classrooms, we must first engage teachers in the types of experiences and environments that show them how. This mindset drives her work at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation which is the research arm of the College of Education at NC State University. She has spent the past 6 years learning with and engaging educators in schools and districts across North Carolina who are integrating digital learning into their schools and classrooms. Prior to joining the team at FI, Brittany taught 9th, 11th and 12th grade English and a Young Adult Literature elective in a digitally-enabled classroom at a high school in Wake County, North Carolina.

News Literacy

11/11/2017

Date: Saturday November 11, 2017
Time: 9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

We are thrilled to welcome Tiffany Whitehead, librarian extraordinaire, as our special guest presenter to share her insights and resources on helping students understand news literacy! Librarians play such an important role as the educational hub in our schools and there is so much we can learn from them. This is perfect timing as we celebrate Media Literacy Week, Nov. 6-10, 2017. Media Literacy is the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, COMMUNICATE and CREATE using all forms of communication. The mission of Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education today.

Webinar Description:
News Literacy: Teaching students to be discerning in a world of fake news, clickbait, and extreme bias
Teaching news literacy is more necessary and challenging than ever in a world where news is delivered at a constant pace from a broad range of sources. Since social media and filter bubbles can make it challenging to access unbiased, factual information, we must equip students to be critical as they access news sources for a variety of purposes. This lecture-style session will give an overview of the phenomenon of fake news going viral and tools educators can use to help students develop news literacy skills.

Tiffany Whitehead, aka the Mighty Little Librarian, is an obsessive reader, social media user, and technology geek. She is the Director of Library at Episcopal School of Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Tiff earned her undergraduate degree in Elementary Education and School Library Certification from Southeastern Louisiana University and her graduate degree in Educational Technology Leadership from Northwestern State University. She has served as the President for ISTE’s Librarians Network and was recognized as one of ISTE’s 2014 Emerging Leaders. Tiffany is National Board Certified in Library Media and was named one of the 2014 Library Journal Movers & Shakers. She was the 2016 recipient of the Louisiana Library Media Specialist Award.

Snapping for Learning: BookSnaps and GratitudeSnaps

11/4/2017

Date: Saturday November 4, 2017
Time: 9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

Many educators are aware of Snapchat as an app that their teenage children or students are using enthusiastically, but most have expressed concerns about its use. If you are someone who has expressed those concerns you won't want to miss this inspiring, informative presentation by our special guest, Tara M Martin, who has transformed the use of Snapchat into an incredible tool for learning and reflection with her creation of #Booksnaps and #GratitudeSnaps. #BookSnaps help students to connect and draw meaning from the text they are reading, and #GratitudeSnaps help connect with the positive that is in their lives in a meaningful way. Even educators are using these concepts to collaborate in meaningful ways in their own professional learning. Join us as Tara shares her stories and experiences with #Booksnaps and #Gratitudesnaps and learn how you can implement these ideas in your own classrooms whether you use Snapchat or other options such as Google Drawings.

We are thrilled to have the always energetic, passionate educational leader, Dr. Sarah Thomas, joining us today to share her vision for connected educators which inspired the creation of EduMatch. Sarah is a model for all of us as someone who is constantly thinking "outside the box" through her inspiration, reflections, challenging questions, cheerleading of the work of other educators and hard work as she spreads her message about the importance of being a connected educator.
Webinar Description:
With seven billion people in the world, we each represent a tiny dot...but what a beautiful picture we make when we begin to connect! Sarah Thomas, founder of EduMatch, outlines the story behind the magical moment when the project emerged sporadically from a conversation with a fellow educator. Follow the evolution of this series of grassroots connections (and related projects), which has spread internationally. By the end of the session, educators will be encouraged to seize their own "magical moments," and to fuel these through the power of connectivity.

Sarah-Jane Thomas, PhD is a Regional Technology Coordinator in Prince George’s County Public Schools. Sarah is also a Google Certified Innovator, Google Education Trainer, and founder of the EduMatch project, which promotes connection and collaboration among educators around the world. Through EduMatch, Sarah has published two collaborative books, EduMatch Snapshot in Education (2016) and The #EduMatch Teacher’s Recipe Guide (2017). Sarah is also on the leadership team of the ISTE Digital Equity PLN. Sarah was awarded the ISTE Making IT Happen prestigious award at ISTE 2017, "ISTE’s Making IT Happen Award honors outstanding educators and leaders who demonstrate extraordinary commitment, leadership, courage, and persistence in improving digital learning opportunities for students," Sarah inspired educators at ISTE with her talk on "Being a Learner and Building a Personal Learning Family."

Sarah is passionate about best practices, such as flipped/blended learning and gamification, and her passion has expanded to helping educators connect globally. This is the rationale behind the EduMatch project, which she founded in September 2014. The project belongs to all EduMatchers, and together they have grown it to include Voxer, guest blogging, and a weekly Twitter chat/podcast. Their newest development is the publishing arm of EduMatch, under which we have released two books to date. Sarah loves to connect with other educators because she strongly believes that we are all experts at something, and can learn so much from each other! Her mantra: "Let your voice be heard, and let's all grow together."
