Miami Device 2015 Reflection

Miami in November is a special treat: sunshine, warm temperatures, good food, and the best learning experience ( Michael Jaber , I love that term!) for educators all over the world. Even more special is to be part of an event that inspires you to be that eager learner you want your student to be. Miami Device ignited a new spark in me, being an active part in some way or another of the present and future of education. The event happened a week after I presented and attended FCIS in Orlando where I heard Tony Wagner , Nishant Mehta and Christian Long , three inspiring people with a vision to transform education for our students. Play, passion, purpose, digital lockers for students, question journals, students being architects of their free time, certificates of mastery, and not to forget individual attention matters were some of the ideas that stood out to me. Now imagine coming home with these ideas, followed by Miami Device the next week. WOW! Affirmation indeed. My heart

Library and Technology Integration

The library specialist, Mrs. Bulkley, read 8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel / 1 Dog = Chaos by Vivian Vande Velde with Grade 3. While she read the story, students picked their favorite character and sketched it on a piece of paper. Next, students wrote a follow up to the last chapter in the book and how their character would react. They took a picture of their sketch, imported it in the Explain Everything App, and recorded their follow up. Below are two examples; one of them got so into her character she even recorded some of it in Spanish. Students wanted to add their videos to their digital portfolios via Blogger Jr., as they are so proud of their creation!

G4 Who Do We Stand By?

G4 used the Pic Collage app to visualize their creative writing skills. Students discovered what risks and consequences family, classmates, or the school community experienced through interviews. They wrote about how they could stand by the person they interviewed by being mindful and kind. Finally, students reflected on what they learned and created a visual collage.
