On behalf of the entire Graded School community, welcome to Innovate 2013: Re-Imagining School! We have purposefully framed this conference as the beginning of an important conversation in this region, one aimed at empowering educators to embrace a new

type of learning paradigm that will better serve today’s students for tomorrow. Graded School is honored and thrilled to serve as the host of this dialogue in South America.

In “My Pedagogic Creed” (1897), John Dewey suggested that much of education fails because “it conceives the school as a place where certain information is to be given, where certain lessons are to be learned, or where certain habits are to be formed.” The concept of schooling, disappointedly, has not really changed that much from this relatively stagnant view of education from more than a century ago. Fortunately, there are bold, innovative pioneers who are

paving the way with a new paradigm for this social institution called school, one in which learning experiences are dynamically and authentically interwoven into the educative process called life itself. You are a part of this wave of courageous educators just by being present at this conference. All of us at Graded applaud your commitment to this new and exciting dialogue.Once again, welcome to Innovate 2013! I look forward to our collective conversation at the conference and beyond.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

Option 1: Bold SchoolsWill Richardson Room: AC Choir Room

Description:With the massive changes that the Web is bringing to the ways we can learn and become educated, our students need us to be “bold” right now. Among other things, they need us to help them learn how to learn effectively in a connected world where they have access to so much information and knowledge and teachers from around the globe. They need us to help them create a unique, positive presence online and navigate interactions with strangers that they will inevitably connect, create and learn with. And they need us to model for them the many ways that we can now get answers to our questions, solve problems, and change the world through our interactions on the Web.

“Bold schools” are doing that. They are moving away from traditional structures and pedagogy, reshaping traditional expectations of school, and finding ways to begin the difficult yet important transition to a “new culture of learning” in classrooms. They are places of inquiry, of transparency and connection and innovation. And they are places where the line between school and real life are becoming less distinct every day. In short, Bold Schools are navigating the transition between an old system that was built for a time long past and the new one that we are beginning to create together.

Join author, educator and instigator Will Richardson for a day of deep discussion and thinking about moving from old to bold, in our schools, in our classrooms, and in our own practice. Bring your technology, your questions and your voice as you participate in a highly interactive day dedicated to understanding and embracing the challenges and opportunities that this new, networked learning world is creating. You’ll walk away:

• with a clear sense of what the “new culture of learning” looks like and the five new realities for schools and educators

• knowing the nine characteristics of “bold schools” and how they differ from “old schools”• clear starting points for transitioning your practice, your classrooms, and your schools toward a more bold

approach• with a set of tools you can use to build your own learning networks and communities.

Join us as we begin the important journey from “old” to “bold” together!

Option 2: Building A Culture of InnovationAmerican School of Bombay Room: AC Black Box Theater

Description:Innovation— any new idea—by definition will not be accepted at first. It takes repeated attempts, endless demonstrations, monotonous rehearsals before innovation can be accepted and internalized by an organization. This requires courageous patience.” — Warren Bennis

Many schools are moving to a 1-to-1 computing environment. This transition is appropriately accompanied by much energy, planning and careful attention to detail. All too often however, there is an over-investment in transition planning and underinvestment in long term cultural and structural shifts necessary to sustain large-scale hardware deployment. During this full day institute, we will conduct exercises to help participants think strategically and plan the long-term shifts necessary to sustain change. In addition, we will share templates and planning tools that will help your school empower faculty and staff to innovate on a small scale every day. There are three parts to the Institute.

Cultural Changes“Once we rid ourselves of traditional thinking we can get on with creating the future.” — James Bertrand

Transition to, and the continuous improvement, of a successful 1-to-1 program begins with committed leadership and a willingness to dream big. In the first part of our pre-conference session, you will be taken through several exercises that check and help elevate the perspective of the different constituents leading your program. In addition, we will address the actions and strategies that will provide direction for the acquisition, use, and expansion of technology at the school. After the first part of our pre-conference, you will have activities and tools that can help the leadership at your school discuss your 1-to-1 program at the appropriate strategic level.

Structural Changes“It’s easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out of date.” — Roger von Oech

Effective implementation is the key to sustainable change and is, frustratingly, dependent on many things. However, the human infrastructure that implements and supports your 1-to-1 program is the most critical ingredient to success. Unfortunately, schools often attempt to embed new paradigms into systems that were designed for a completely different purpose. In the second part of our pre-conference, we will share an alternate teaming approach. In addition, we will explore questions about teaching and learning in a 1-to-1 environment, resource deployment, and overall evaluation of your program.

Changes in Practice“Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” — Theodore Levitt

Ultimately, we want teachers to understand and be able articulate the shared vision you developed so that they can breathe life into it everyday. You will not always be able to control the innovation that takes place in your school, but you must ensure that the sum of all the actions taken help to move the school in the right direction. In the third part of our pre-conference, we will speak to some of the challenges of “flying the plane as you build it” and addresses actions and strategies that will provide direction for access to technology equipment and the network, the processes employed to maintain hardware and software, and the support personnel.The following ASB staff will act as facilitators for this pre-conference session:Craig Johnson, SuperintendentShannon Gallagher, ES CoordinatorRory Newcomb, HS Science TeacherMario Fishery, Director of Tech SupportSavio D’Mello, Director of Tech SupportTobias Aickin, HS Social Studies TeacherShabbi Luthra, Director of Research & Development, and Technology

Session 1: Connective WritingWill Richardson Room: AC Band Room21st century literacies, Collaboration in local and global communities, LeadershipDescription:The ability to easily publish to the Internet has opened up all sorts of new possibilities for teachers to help students enhance their writing skills and become more effective communicators. In the age of the Read/Write Web, every reader can truly be a writer as well. Weblogs, wikis, Twitter, and multimedia tools provide wide and diverse audiences from around the world for feedback and response. But they also require a more “connective writing” approach, one that can synthesize many disparate ideas from different sources, all connected together through hypertext. This is a “think out of the box” workshop intended to help you start exploring new ways to make your own writing and your classroom writing more meaningful and more effective.

Session 2: Global Project-Based learning in the Web 2.0 ClassroomJennifer Klein Room: AC Choir RoomLeadership, Digital Citizenship, Collaboration in Local and Global Communities, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:In this workshop, participants will explore TIG and TIGed global educational tools through an authentic global inquiry experience which allows teachers to explore and apply the tools and resources by developing a global project for their classrooms.

Session 3: Google apps em ação nas aulas de português - em portuguêsVanessa Monte, Laureana Piragine, Sandra Lima Room: D28Assessment, Collaboration in Local and Global Communities Description:A sessão está dividida em quatro partes. Na primeira, apresentaremos uma contextualização sobre o uso de computadores na escola e sobre os standards de tecnologia adotados. A seguir, as professoras mostrarão o uso do Blogger associado a um projeto do 4o ano (Lower School), a utilização de GoogleDocs e Google Spreadsheets para revisão de escritas em aulas de português para estrangeiros de Middle School, e, finalmente, a aplicação de GoogleForms para avaliação de leitura em turmas do 6o ano. Partimos do pressuposto de que a tecnologia deve ser vista como mais uma ferramenta, um novo meio pelo qual podemos ensinar, e não como algo suplementar, acessório, desconectado da prática. Pretendemos mostrar, por exemplo, como um aluno se reconhece como autor quando publica em ambientes digitais e vê seus textos lidos e comentados. Assim, o uso de blogs e sites, ao propiciar o compartilhar das informações, ajuda a desenvolver a autoria dos alunos nesses ambientes digitais. É fundamental que os participantes tragam seus computadores e tenham uma conta configurada no Gmail.

Obter maior conhecimento sobre o uso de ferramentas digitais (GoogleApps) em sala de aula; Ser capaz de tomar decisões a respeito das tecnologias mais adequadas para serem usadas em seus currículos de forma a potencializar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem; Como elaborar projetos integrando tecnologia de uma maneira coerente.

Session 4: Creating and Managing Your Google SiteSilvana S. R. Meneghini Room: AC Ceramics Studio21st Century Literacies, Instructional Technology FacilitatorsDescription:Google Sites provides a flexible and easy to use platform for the creation of classroom learning environments.

Session 6: Modern Leadership: How to Stay Relevant as a Leader in the Education WorldScott Klososky, Shabbi Luthra, and Blair Peterson Room: Black Box TheaterLeadershipDescription:The skill of leadership is changing. Many people argue that there is nothing new in leadership, and that what worked 2000 years ago, still works. The reality is that technology and societal changes are creating a new set of skills that leaders must employ if they want to be successful and help their organizations prosper. The education field is especially impacted by the wrenching changes that technology and the pace of change are bringing. Don’t miss this chance to see a picture of the world we will all be moving into, and the skills that leaders will need to grow in order to assure they are leading their organizations, and not standing in the way of progress.

Session 1: How Open Source is Changing the WorldMick Ebeling Room: A8Digital citizenship, Specials, Collaboration in global and local communitiesDescription:In the pre-internet era, learning was largely predicated on, or a result of, geographical access to teachers and institutions. Today, due to our near-immediate access to news and information, it is nearly impossible to not be inspired and affected by what is happening in other cultures, time zones and schools of thought. This access, and the natural human tendency to want to share information, is at the heart of the open source movement. Traditionally, the term “open source” is connected to programming and more technical endeavors, but open source at its very core is about sharing information for the betterment of a specific cause. In this / these sessions, participants will be exposed to the history of open source and be exposed to case studies / causes in which open source plays/played a role. The goal of this workshop is to inspire participants to create change and solutions within their own classrooms and communities by learning how to be part of the open source community. Through discussion and collective brainstorming, each participant will walk away with the foundation for an open source project.

Session 2: Digital Learning for Middle School MathJulie Cooper Room: A24Assessment, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:This presentation will focus on how to integrate a variety of technology resources into Middle School math lessons. The lessons will include cross curricular math lessons with the use of programs installed on the laptop as well as a variety of websites to create a digital learning centered environment for students.The lessons explored in this presentation are taken from a year- long thematic project created by my teaching team called Global Endeavors.

Our pledge is to ensure that every student is appropriately challenged and that all learning styles are embraced! Participants will leave with concrete strategies related to the implementation of innovative classroom learning approaches. We will provide both teacher and administration perspectives to make sure participants can go back to their schools and quickly start experimenting

Session 4: Digital Pathways: Enhance Language Acquisition and Motivate Digital CitizensMaxine Baines and Sherina Isolica Room: D5Digital Citizens, Differentiation, 21st Century LiteracieDescription:The purpose of this workshop is to share strategies and ideas on how to bring blogs and Shutterfly sites into the classroom in order to offer the educator an additional tool to engage students and enhance their learning as they develop communication, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. We will demonstrate their importance in language acquisition through collaborative learning, shared writing, and free writing and the role they play in the integration of content and skills.

Session 5: Gamify Your ClassroomAudrey Forgeron Room: D621st Century LiteraciesDescription:Wouldn’t it be great if being in class were as engaging as a video game? There is a way to simulate the atmosphere of a video game to make the accomplishment of a task more stimulating for students. We will take a classroom research project that you have used before and “gamify” it. There will be “leveling up,” “achievements,” a “leaderboard” and more that you can use as tools to help liven up your project, or possibly something more long term, in your classroom. Participants will walk away with resources to support transitioning a project to a “game.”

Session 7: From Distraction to Engagement: How to effectively leverage a 1:1 environment in your classroomJeff Lippman Room: D22Leeadership, Instructional Technology Facilitators, AssessmentDescription:With laptops and other mobile devices in our classrooms, we are often faced with the dilemma of the “blank stare”... that look on our students faces that tell you they are immersed in the latest gossip on facebook, or building their new home on Minecraft. This session will give educators a framework for how to approach their classrooms without fear of the distractions that are inherent to the 21st century learning environment. The session will speak to the difficult balance that needs to be achieved between giving students the freedom to explore and maintaining a rigorous learning environment. Participants will learn about recent research on the impact of the internet on the learning environment , obtain a “toolbox” of strategies that work in a 1:1 environment, and will have an opportunity to experiment with tools and debate the role of the teacher in the 21st Century classroom.

Session 8: “It’s The 21st Century: Do You Know Where Your Students Are?”Lynn Notarainni Room: B21Differentiation, Instructional Tech. Facilitators, Assessment, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:This session is led by Lynn Notarainni from Simply Teach Tech representing Mimio. Implementing technology in classrooms is no longer optional as we strive to meet the needs of this digital generation.

Session 1: How Open Source is Changing the WorldMick Ebeling Room: A8Digital citizenship, Specials, Collaboration in global and local communitiesDescription:In the pre-internet era, learning was largely predicated on, or a result of, geographical access to teachers and institutions. Today, due to our near-immediate access to news and information, it is nearly impossible to not be inspired and affected by what is happening in other cultures, time zones and schools of thought. This access, and the natural human tendency to want to share information, is at the heart of the open source movement. Traditionally, the term “open source” is connected to programming and more technical endeavors, but open source at its very core is about sharing information for the betterment of a specific cause. In this / these sessions, participants will be exposed to the history of open source and be exposed to case studies / causes in which open source plays/played a role. The goal of this workshop is to inspire participants to create change and solutions within their own classrooms and communities by learning how to be part of the open source community. Through discussion and collective brainstorming, each participant will walk away with the foundation for an open source project.

Session 2: 1:1 By DesignMike Dunlop and Lee Fertig Room: A21Leadership, Instructional Technology FacilitatorsDescription:Graded School’s 1:1 laptop program has operated on a Bring Your Own Device model since 2010. This program was designed to intentionally support broad-based strategic initiatives adopted by the school, and it plays a critical role in the vision Graded has for student learning. This session offers the opportunity for participants to learn about Graded’s journey, and to leverage this knowledge to enhance student learning in their own schools. We will look at the key planning considerations which supported a successful implementation and you will have the opportunity to transfer this knowledge to your own school context.

Session 3: Gamefication 101Rory Newcomb Room: A24Assessment, 21st century literaciesDescription:Are You Ready For Some Football? Game on! Transform your lessons with a how-to guide that takes you from “Spring Training” to “Touchdown” using game elements to make lessons more engaging. The purpose of this presentation is to provide teachers that are interested in gamification with a step-by-step how-to-guide on gamifying units in the classroom. We will define gamification in different contexts and explore the benefits of gamification including teaching digital natives, personalized learning, higher engagement, formative assessment opportunities, and encouraging risk-takers, critical thinkers and innovators while eliminating the fear of failure. Participants will be provided with resources to explore further beyond the session and will leave with strategies and resources for gamifying a unit in any class at any level

Session 4: Does the IB Diploma Program Kill Creativity and Innovation? Strategies To Foster 21st Skills within the Diploma ProgramCorey Topf Room: B23Assessment, 21st century literacies, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:This is a call for challenging ourselves to create project-based learning for students in the Diploma Program. The workshop begins with examining how IB external and internal exams change everything from how we teach to how students learn. I will provide tips as to how teachers can innovate despite the Diploma Program’s emphasis on content. Exploring IB for your school? This session may help inform your final decision.

Session 5: A Data Explosion: Building Data Literacy with StudentsKelly Schuster-Paredes Room: D5Instructional Technology Facilitators, Differentiation, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:Help prepare your students for the 21st century by inspiring creative thinking through systems thinking. Encourage problem-solving skills through a visual world filled with data that can easily be applied to any infographic, presentation or in the classroom. Inspire Data is a visual learning tool that allows you and your students to collect data and easily view relationships and connections. In this workshop you will walk away knowing how to publish surveys and use the collected data to turn it into visual presentations, put data into two or three loop Venn diagrams, make scatter graphs/plots for looking at correlations, create animations to show how data changes over time and create easy slideshows of tables for infographic slideshows.

Session 6: But What Changes, Really? The Before and After of Moving into a 1:1 EnvironmentTobias Aikin Room: B21Differentiation, 21st Century Literacies, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:The process of change is difficult, and the most difficult change right now for teachers is opening up their classrooms to a one to one philosophy. The concerns, both philosophical and practical, immediately leap to the throat: “How will I know the kids are on task and not on Facebook?”, “Aren’t we just encouraging less face-to-face interaction?”, and “How are they going to keep these things charged?” Once you embrace the possibilities of the device your students have in front of them you open up a world where, potentially, everything you have taught can be taught differently. In this workshop I will present some of the ways technology has transformed my classroom. I encourage those who are considering one to one, those who’ve just started one to one, and those who can’t live without one to one, to come and share what we are going through and what we’ve learned.

Session 7: Using Google Forms for Assessment: Models from the Science ClassroomAmy Flindt Room: D22Assessment, DifferentiationDescription:In this workshop you will be guided through the process of creating a Google form and displaying the data collected. You will then have the opportunity to create your own form to use with your students when you return to the classroom. We will discuss how to avoid common mistakes, strategies on organizing electronic files and data, and challenges you may face when having students complete the forms in class. The workshop will also include a discussion about how students learn science and how formative assessment with Google forms can help facilitate this process. While the examples in this workshop will be from biology and chemistry lessons, teachers from other disciplines are more than welcome to join.

Serão utilizados software como Freemind e Geogebra.

Session 9: Managing Student Web Access Involving BYOD (em Português)Marcelo Barros Room: A23Leadership, Instructional Technology Facilitators, People Behind the ScenesDescription:Student access to the Internet is an absolute requirement, but to enable optimal access while protecting students and complying with CIPA takes a multi-strategy approach that includes training, monitoring, and flexible controls. Literally, a billion new web pages spring up every day, and according to Google, 9,500 of them are malicious. To complicate matters, web access needs to be tailored by device, student, and location, among other factors. Attend this web seminar to learn how districts can successfully manage Internet access to a vast number of devices in an environment of diverse needs based on grade level, location, training and role

Day 2 - Monday, January 21th, 2013

9:00 - 10:30Session 1: LARK as a Digital Citizenship Framework: Voices from the 4th and 5th grade classroomMaureen Kintzer and Natalia Forattini Room: A8Digital Citizenship, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:During the workshop, participants will learn about the implementation of LARK guidelines as well as its use by students in their digital projects and internet research. LARK stands for Legal, Appropriate, Responsible and Kind. These guidelines have been developed by Graded School to integrate safe and responsible internet research and the use of images in school projects. Participants will walk away knowing how simple and easy it is to implement responsible internet use and to be able to develop their own strategies to implement responsible internet research with their students’ projects.

Session 2: Dropping the F Bomb in Class: Leveraging Facebook and Other Social Media to Connect with KidsTobias Aikins and Rory Newcomb Room: B21Differentiation, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:Using social media with students often inspires fear; teachers rightly worry about blurring the line between their work and social lives. This workshop will explore different ways teachers can interact with their students through social media and other applications while still maintaining that distinction between the public and the private. By the end of the workshop, teachers will have used a range of simple tools with which they are probably already familiar (such as Facebook, Google Docs, Todays Meet, and Diigo), but may never have thought to use in an educational and/or social media context. Moreover they can start using these tools immediately, on the first day they get back from the conference.

Session 3: Strategic Planning for your 1:1 ProgramStewart Crais Room: A24LeadershipDescription:Tying your technology initiatives into your strategic plan for your school is critical to insure success. Meaningful, permanent educational progress comes from a partnership between the school’s leadership team and all of its constituents. Lausanne leaders will share how our decade of experience in creating a sustainable and integrated program can be replicated at your school. Join this thought-provoking round table discussion! This is an opportunity for attendees to reflect on how / if their technology initiative ties to their institutional goals.

Session 4: Design and Assessment of Global Learning ExperiencesJennifer Klein Room: D28Assessment, 21st Century Literacies, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:Most educators agree that global learning experiences are important, but how do we design projects and units which develop global competencies? How will those global competencies be defined, taught and assessed, and how can we ensure they complement core academic standards rather than distracting from the "real work" of our classrooms? This session will explore a variety of design and assessment approaches for bringing global perspectives and issues into the curriculum. Participants will see examples of good practice in a wide range of global projects which develop global competencies alongside more traditional knowledge and skills. They will be encouraged to find creative and effective ways to interweave global knowledge and skills into any academic course across the K-12 spectrum, and will have opportunities to explore and develop rubrics for assessing student work.

Session 5: The Evolution of a Needs Based Technology Professional Development ProgramAland Russell cancelledLeadership, Differentiation, Instructional Technology FacilitatorsDescription:This session will describe a ten-year evolution of a Technology Professional Development program that grew out of a need for greater teacher technology skills and over the years has evolved to include 21st Century Skills. It has recently broadened to include standards in the formal teacher evaluation and a Quality Teaching Rubric which guides peer observations. We will take time to discuss the pros and cons of such a program and how it can continue to evolve to drive innovative teaching and learning.

Session 6: Student-Centered, Student-Run: Effective Technology Support in the 21st CenturyJohn Richardson Room: A2121st Century Literacies, Leadership, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:For over a decade, the St. Joseph’s Academy computer help desk has provided an invaluable service engineered by the students, for the students. Not only is the 1:1 laptop program an important asset for the school as a whole, but it is also an opportunity for students who express a strong interest in technology to expand their education beyond the classroom. The technology staff takes a hands-off approach in supervising the operation, allowing the students to learn from each other in a supportive environment. On a campus with over a thousand computers in use, our student technicians work tirelessly to diagnose software issues and complete hardware repairs with a remarkable turnover rate. Outside of school, our student workers and staff alike donate their time in various outreach projects in the surrounding area, refurbishing and repurposing donated equipment and helping other schools become technologically self-sufficient. Hear first-hand experience from veteran of 1:1 technology in schools and learn how to train students in engineering their own tech support.

38

Session 7: Math with Meaning: Learning Math From the World Around UsShannon Gallagher Room: B23Differentiation, AssessmentDescription:“When will I ever use this in ‘real-life’?” is a phrase that has been uttered by countless students while staring with a blank gaze at a math problem on a worksheet. Math in isolation can often be boring, frustrating and essentially meaningless for students. But why do we teach this way when math is a part of everything we do? This session will focus on investigations, problem-solving and real-world mathematical scenarios that allow students to grapple with possible outcomes, see connections, and create their own understanding of mathematical concepts.

Session 8: Using Social Media to Promote Learning in Your School CommunityBlair Peterson Room: D5Leadership, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:ISTE’s standards for administrators call for “Educational Administrators (to)create, promote, and sustain a dynamic, digital-age learning culture that provides a rigorous, relevant, and engaging education for all students.” In this session participants will explore practical ways to model “digital age literacy”. Participants will work on strategies for using social networking tools for personal and professional learning and for creating a schoolwide learning community.

Session 9: Viver nova experiência educacional dentro e fora da sala de aulaAlan Markham Room: D7Leadership, Instructional Technology Facilitators, People Behind the Scenes, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:Workshop Intel® irá apresentar soluções de hardware e software integradas especificamente desenvolvidos para educação, com o tema de “viver nova experiência educacional dentro e fora da sala de aula”

Session 1: Screen Literacy: How to Prepare Students for an Accelerating WorldMichell Zappa Room: A8Leadership, 21st century literaciesDescription:The future of education is as promising as it is daunting. Technology is turning the wheels of society at an accelerating pace while the very role of educators is having to be continuously re-assessed. This session describes fundamentals of this rapidly changing scenario, outlines plausible futures for education, and raises the role of screen literacy in the school of the future. This workshop is meant to assess and understand the key technological trends that are shaping how we relate to information, education and interpersonal communication -- and attempts to find implementable solutions.

Session 2: Creativity and Conflict: Humanizing the World through Art and TechnologyJennifer Klein Room: D28Specials, 21st Century Literacies, DifferentiationDescription:We are seeing the rapid disappearance of the arts in education and it comes with a serious global price. Rather than turning to the arts for consolation after global tragedies, educators need to start using the arts to avoid global tragedies and humanize the world for young people. As technology makes it easier for students to share their creative work and collaborate on artistic projects, educators have the opportunity, in the words of Palestinian poet Falastine Dwikat, to build bridges “from heart to heart, from word to word, and from line to line.” This session will explore artistically-focused global projects from a variety of countries, organizations and programs. Attendees will leave the session with ideas for classroom activities, significant projects, and avenues for finding global partners, programs, technological platforms and resources.

Session 3: Digital Natives in an Accelerated CultureGreg Graber Room: B21Digital Citizenship, 21st Century Literacies Description:Students in today’s modern society live in a much more fast-paced world than their parents did, due in part to the technological devices which play such an integral part of their daily lives. Essentially, they are always “on” or “plugged in.” Since our students, commonly referred to as “digital natives,” live in this accelerated culture, I am interested in sharing ways in which they can occasionally “unplug” to find the healthy balance between 21st Century “high tech” learning and healthy developmental maturation. Resources, information, and ideas for starting such a program will be shared.

Session 4: Creating a Culture of Thinking with Staff and ParentsAnne Baldisseri Room: A24LeadershipDescription:Creating a culture of thinking amongst staff and parents is an important process. Protocols and Thinking Routines can be used as tools to help this happen, helping to embed amongst staff and parents the culture of thinking that we aspire to achieve in our classrooms. Several examples of the use of Thinking Routines during staff meetings and parent workshops will be shown to and used by the participants. Come explore how to add dimension to other stakeholder groups in your schools.

Session 5: Mapping the Possibilities of IT IntegrationMarta Voelck and Rafael Nogueira Room: A21Instructional Technology Facilitators, LeadershipDescription:This session introduces an IT integration planning process. Participants will be introduced to the process and explore possibilities to use it to better inform their schools IT committees for strategic planning and decision making. This process models using a combination of Prezi and spreadsheets to map the use of IT inside the school, showing where opportunities, barriers and plans for IT Integration in education can be informed by many people in the community.

Session 6: Digital Inclusion: Increasing Accessibility through Digital StorytellingKeren Soriano, Jennifer Peterson, Jody Ubert Room: D7Differentiation, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:This workshop will introduce the concept of Universal Accessibility and Universal Design for Learning. Participants will watch a short video entitled “Digital Inclusion” featuring successful students with special needs detailing their use of digital tools to access the curriculum at Graded School. Two samples of a dysgraphic student’s writing will be compared. One sample was written independently, without any accommodations or use of digital tools and the other sample is a story transcribed by the student to the teacher. The participants will then explore “My Story” ipad app for digital storytelling.

Session 7: Imigrantes digitais e geração Z: como envolver o aluno utilizando TIC (Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação)? (em Português)Pedro Reinato - Editora Saraiva Room: B23Leadership, Instructional Technology Facilitators, People Behind the Scenes, Collaboration in Local and Global Communities, 21st Century LiteraciesDescription:O objetivo do nosso workshop oferecido por Pedro Reinato da Editora Saraiva e refletir sobre os pontos de vista da geração Z em relação ao uso da tecnologia e sugerir formas de interação para o trabalho em sala de aula.

Session 8: Directions for Fostering School-Home Communications OnlineVincent Jansen Room: D5Leadership, Instructional Technology Facilitators, Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:Today’s families are increasingly online and mobile. Find out from Finalsite’s Vincent Jansen how schools like yours are connecting with parents via online communication and collaboration tools. We will share current thoughts on how communication has shifted, how learning has changed and the need to deliver information to tablets/mobile devices. We will examine case studies from schools using homework pages, electronic newsletters, password-protected communities, customizable calendars and news/events, social media tools such as mash-ups, and much more. Time for questions will be provided and a discussion of overall web strategy is included.

Session 1: Building Your Professional Learning NetworkWill Richardson Room: AC Band RoomLeadership. Collaboration in Local and Global CommunitiesDescription:Learning is social, we’ve all known that. Now, with the Web, it’s globally social. To flourish as learners in a connected world, we need a network, one that we can trust, one that we can turn to when we need answers or inspiration or direction. While we’ve always crafted these “Personal Learning Networks” in our face to face spaces, the literacies of doing so online are a bit more nuanced and complex. This workshop looks at what PLNs are, how they can influence our learning lives and future success, how to begin to construct them using various Web tools, and what the implications are for our students, our schools and our professional practice. We’ll also look at how diversity, balance and safety enter into the learning equation online.

9:00 - 12:15 (3 hour session with break)

Session 2: Anima Escola Workshop (in Portuguese)Marcos Magalhaes and Joana Milliet Room: AC Black Box TheaterSpecials, Differentiation, Digital CitizenshipDescription: Participants should download the MUAN software prior to the session at www.muan.org.br/muanAnima Escola é um projeto educacional mantido, desde 2002, pelo Anima Mundi, o Festival Internacional de Animação do Brasil. Foi criado visando a aplicar os recursos audiovisuais da animação nos princípios educacionais das escolas públicas do Rio de Janeiro. Uma metodologia singular foi desenvolvida para esse projeto (o que inclui a implementação de um software gratuito e de acesso livre, o MUAN, para facilitar a integração com a tecnologia). Neste workshop, apresentaremos aos participantes os fundamentos da linguagem de animação e os convidaremos a vivenciá-lo, por meio da criação coletiva de cenas animadas, com o uso de materiais simples, como papel, lápis de cera e massa de modelar. Esta atividade amplia a integração social e a comunicação no grupo, uma vez que abstração e pensamento visual têm de ser aplicados às habilidades manuais, a fim de transmitir eficazmente a mensagem desejada.

Session 3: From Chalk to Screen: New Tools in World LanguagesAdriana Monti, Ana Paula Cortez, Deborah Rebello, Laureana Piragine and Silvana Meneghini

Room: AC Choir Room

Differentiation, 21st Century Literacies Description:This session aims at considering the practical use of a variety of digital tools in world language classes. We will explore podcasting, video, presentation applications, subtitling, and collaboration in Google Docs, as tools that can support learning by focusing on skills like listening comprehension, pronunciation, creative written expression, etc. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on a teaching unit of their own and consider possible digital tools that they could use. Teachers will be able to use a sample unit plan to develop their own to take back to the classroom. An option to explore the technology skills for a specific tool will be offered for those interested.

Session 4: RU Ready 4 Twitter?Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano Room: AC Media CenterLeadershipDescription:If you still think that Twitter is the place to discuss a bad hair day or stalk the celebrity of the moment, then this session is for you. In this hands-on session, participants will be guided in the design of a personalized social network that connects them to a world wide educational community. Learn how to leverage Twitter as a powerful professional development platform available to educators. You will learn about creating a first impression (profile) to customizing who to follow, who not to follow and how to grow your network. We’ll also explore strategies to participate in conferences that you are not attending to being part of an ongoing conversation about education, best practices and resources. The session will examine Twitter etiquette and provide clarification of twitter-specific lingo. We will answer questions such as how to get the most out of Twitter for your personal situation, passion and needs. Finally, participants will explore and discuss how to bring the power of Twitter into the classroom.

Session 5: Social Technologies and the Renaissance in LearningScott Klososky Room: AC Ceramic StudioLeadershipDescription:Web 2.0 has ushered in a new set of tools that will forever change how humanity connects, communicates and collaborates. The combination of Mobile, Social and Cloud computing is a powerful three legged stool that is driving massive changes in how information is shared, and how people learn. The education field is struggling to keep up with the technologies that students now have integrated into their lives at a deep level. In order to maximize what it means to educate, schools and teachers will have to integrate not only the new technology tools we have been given, they will also have to leverage the new concepts these technologies are driving. For example, crowd dynamics, online reputation management, gamification, and social networking, are all touching students at this point. There are very few presentations that have the potential to help your career - and the students we serve, more than this one!

Session 5: How Open Source is changing the world (Extended Version)Mick Ebling Room: B24Digital Citizenship, Collaboration in Global and Local CommunitiesDescription:In the pre-internet era, learning was largely predicated on, or a result of, geographical access to teachers and institutions. Today, due to our near-immediate access to news and information, it is nearly impossible to not be inspired and affected by what is happening in other cultures, time zones and schools of thought. This access, and the natural human tendency to want to share information, is at the heart of the open source movement.
