Ken Ehrmann, Featured Teacher

3/25/2017

Date:Saturday March 25, 2017
Time:9:00amPT/10:00amMT/
11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate

On Classroom 2.0 LIVE we eagerly look forward to hearing from our Featured Teachers who always bring their passions, and best tips, tools and experiences from their classrooms to share with us. We are very excited to have Ken Ehrmann, a fifth grade teacher in PA, with us on March 25th as our March Featured Teacher. In this webinar we will have the opportunity to learn first hand from a teacher who took the leap to flip his classroom. Personalized learning and flipped learning are two big buzzwords. Ken Ehrmann will share his journey on flipping his fifth grade classroom to create a culture of daily personalized learning. Flipped learning is just an instructional strategy like using manipulatives. However, it may be the most powerful instructional strategy in education today.

Ken teaches fifth grade in Pennridge School District in Pennsylvania, a small suburban district outside Philadelphia. In addition to teaching fifth grade, he spent the last 4 years tutoring over 50 different students grades 3-12 in all subject areas, time management skills, and executive function skills. Additionally, he teaches graduate courses focusing on incorporating iPads and 21st century learning skills into the classroom. He is a passionate teacher constantly evaluating his own teaching, learning styles, and the status quo of public education.

Bloomz: Engaging Today's Parents in the Modern Classroom

3/18/2017

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

In our webinar this week we are really looking forward to learning about Bloomz, a fantastic, free, parent communication tool, from our special guest presenters: Laura Briggs and Horacio Ochoa. At ISTE 2016, Tech & Learning recognized Bloomz with the Best of Show award. Bloomz was also recently honored by the AASL. ISTE celebrates those products and services that show the greatest promise according to the country’s most tech-savvy educators. An anonymous panel of these educator judges selected products by scouring the exhibit hall floor during ISTE 2016, which featured 500 companies sharing solutions with more than 16,000 educators. The judges rated products on quality, effectiveness, ease of use, and creative use of technology.
Webinar Description
Every day we see hundreds of missed connections between teachers and parents. Between reminders, meetings, event signups, all flying around in hard copy, digital and verbal formats, teachers and parents can’t keep up. On the other hand, social networks and mobile phones have redefined how we connect. Facebook for friendships, LinkedIn for careers; it seems as if there was a social network for every aspect of life. Almost. Bloomz is a new mobile and web app that helps teachers save a great deal of time in their communication with parents, by providing a powerful set of tools to connect, coordinate and communicate with parents, all in one beautifully designed app that is easy (and free) for teachers to use. From messaging, media sharing, and event and volunteer signups, to student portfolios and behavior management, Bloomz provides all the right tools to increase parental engagement and helps build school and classroom community. Join this interactive webinar to learn more about this app and how it works. To get the most of this webinar, please have a second device ready with the Bloomz app installed to interact during the webinar.
Laura Briggs is a 1st Grade Teacher in Ashburn, VA at Cedar Lane School. She has taught K-5 technology, full day kindergarten, first grade, and fifth grade. She has a Masters of Science degree in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University. Mrs. Briggs is also the director of STAR Summer Camp at Cedar Lane. She is a Bloomz Ambassador, Online Course Design/Facilitator, ISTE Mobile Learning Network Past President, ISTE Games&Sims Officer, and STEM Camp Director. Horacio Ochoa, as Growth Manager for Bloomz has responsibilities that include all areas of marketing, from consumer insights, to developing marketing plans and executing in all relevant channels - advertising, content marketing, community building, influencer marketing, public relations, events and more.

We are really looking forward to having Jennifer Wagner with us on Saturday, March 11, 2017 to share two very exciting opportunities. As the creator of ProjectsByJen, she has been successfully encouraging teachers since 1999 to use online projects in their PreK-6 classrooms. Jennifer has hosted over 80 projects with over 1 Million participants. Six to eight projects are hosted each year each with a different theme -- literature, history, holiday celebrations, etc. Almost all the projects can be used in PreK - Sixth grade with extension ideas provided for each level. Using various ideas, she will help you understand how online projects will help you make the most of your time in a variety of ways. In addition, Jennifer will be sharing information about the #NOTatISTE community which she has organized to help educators who are unable to attend the annual ISTE Conference to be able to participate virtually through sharing of resources, activities, videos and presentations by participants.

Jennifer is an exemplary teacher and technology facilitator in Southern California and has won numerous awards for her creative ways in encouraging teachers to collaborate, her teaching style is very user-friendly, creative, and personable. Since the late 1990's, Jennifer's main focus has moved from working with students to working with teachers. She attends many local and state conferences each year, sharing ideas and also frequents many virtual conference opportunities! Plus, she has a blog, hosts a podcast, and is very happy with the invention of "pinterest". (oh, and she is quite vocal on twitter!) She is a Google Certified Teacher and a Discovery Education Guru. Jennifer has been recognized by Global SchoolNet Foundation, ISTE, Kidspiration, SIGTEL, TechMuseum, & Time Warner for her innovative uses of technology.

11:00amCT/12:00pm ET

We are in for a real treat with this presentation by our special guest, Steve Sherman. Steve is not only an inspired, energetic, passionate global educator but he has an incredible sense of humor. He has many stories and experiences to share about his world travels "without the traveling" through the hundreds of activities he has been involved in with students through the use of technology.

Here's a taste of his humor in his profile statement which is anything but typical (read carefully).
Steve is the Chief Imagination Officer of an Educational NGO in Capetown, South Africa called Living Maths. It is a mathematics, problem-solving and science enrichment program. He teaches approximately 4500 students weekly in schools around Cape Town and now recently, the world. He is passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering young people. He is also a multi-award purchasing educator and was voted most adorable educational innovator by his unbiased mother. He feels that it is his destiny to spread the joy of problem-solving and creative thinking to anyone who is willing to listen and even to those who are not. He knows Karate, Ju-jitsu and 2 other Japanese words. Steve is an Olympic medallist for the short jump and an accomplished Yo-yo winder.

10 Tips for Formative Assessment with Technology

2/4/2017

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

We are excited to welcome Dr. Monica Burns, an amazing, creative, inspiring educator as our special guest presenter on Classroom 2.0 LIVE on February 4, 2017. As educators we know the importance of using formative assessment in our classes during the learning process. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. Formative assessments help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work, and they help teachers recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediately. Monica will share some of her favorite tips about how we can use technology to support formative assessment to improve the learning process.

Webinar Description
Collecting meaningful formative assessment data and putting this information into action is a challenge for teachers at every grade level. Technology tools can make the collection and organization of formative assessment data more efficient. #FormativeTech can save instructional time, and help teachers organize data so strategic interventions can reach students in need. Join Dr. Monica Burns as she shares her favorite tips for using technology tools to check for understanding.

Dr. Monica Burns is an EdTech Consultant and Author, Apple Distinguished Educator and Founder of ClassTechTips.com. Monica has presented to teachers, administrators and tech enthusiasts at numerous national and international conferences including SXSWedu, ISTE, and EduTECH. She is a webinar host for SimpleK12 and a regular contributor to Edutopia. Monica is the author of Deeper Learning with QR Codes and Augmented Reality: A Scannable Solution for Your Classroom (Corwin Press, 2016) and #FormativeTech: Meaningful, Sustainable, and Scannable Formative Assessment with Technology (Corwin Press, 2017). Monica visits school across the country to work with PreK-12 teachers to make technology integration exciting and accessible.

Location: Blackboard Collaborate

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 8th 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 2016 special guest presenters, participants and Advisory Team members with a quick trip down memory lane with a few special memories all the way back to 2009! We also have some exciting raffle prizes to share with participants throughout the show. Come and join the celebration!
