What every teacher should know about cognitive researchStephanie Chasteen
From the Colorado Science Conference (Nov, 2011)
In the past few decades, we’ve gained a wealth of information about how people learn. The results of this cognitive and education research can help us become more effective teachers. In this interactive talk, we’ll explore some of the main findings of cognitive research in a language accessible to everybody, and discuss how they can be used in our teaching.
Though there is still much to learn, you have been considering found.docxbrockdebroah
Though there is still much to learn, you have been considering foundational ideas and principles related to the physical environment of a quality preschool setting and the ways that the physical environment can foster children's play, development, and learning. For this Application Assignment, you will begin to develop your vision of how an ideal preschool setting might look.
Before you begin, think about:
What preschool children are like, what they do and what they need
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's initiative
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's play
Considerations in creating physical environments that foster children's self-control
Additional components of quality physical environments
Part 1: Visualize
Close your eyes. Visualize a preschool environment that truly encourages, supports, and guides children's play and learning. Let your mind travel around the room. What does it look like? What does it feel like? How does it sound? What are the adults in the room doing? What are the children doing? How are they interacting with each other, the materials, the space? What kind of learning experiences are they involved in? What opportunities do children have to demonstrate their initiative and self-control? If a visitor walked in, how would he or she describe the culture, energy, and learning in this setting?
Part 2: Brainstorm
Write down at least 20 words or phrases that describe a quality physical environment; one that meets preschoolers needs and interests, fosters initiative and self-control, and is alive with play and learning.
Part 3: Describe
Now that you have taken time to visualize and brainstorm, write your description of a quality physical environment and your rationale for positioning. In addition, you may also choose to submit a drawing to demonstrate arrangement of the physical environment. You may use PowerPoint® or free (trial) technologies like Inspiration® to create your organizer in an electronic format. You may also choose to draw your graphic organizer, scan it and insert it as an image into your assignment submission. Make sure that the image is visible within the assignment submission.
In summary, you must write the description of your physical environment. It is optional to include a drawing of your physical environment along with your description. Be sure to address each of the following areas:
Classroom arrangement and activity/learning areas
Classroom atmosphere
Learning experiences available
Materials accessible
Types of interactions supported
Note:
Be sure to cite the Learning Resources to substantiate your thinking.

This presentation was given at the 2012 UL Eduneering Knowledge Summit. Here is the description:
Thought you knew about learning design and instruction? Test yourself as Learning myths are presented and exposed in this interactive question and answer session. Once the myths are exposed, we will discuss remedies to each myth based on the latest educational research. This evidenced-based presentation will provide you with the tools, evidence, and techniques you need to go back into your organization and present, design or purchase training that makes a difference.
Make clickers work for you: Faciltiation and question writingStephanie Chasteen
Clickers can make teaching more effective and fun, but how does a teacher best use clickers in the class? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore research-based ideas for questioning to achieve student engagement and deep learning. We will focus on the use of “peer instruction” in which students discuss challenging questions. We’ll compare example questions, practice writing questions, discuss common challenges, and share tips on getting students to productively reason through them. No software needed.

How do science center visits affect young adults?Exploratorium
This presentation was made at the Association of Science-Technology Centers annual conference in Montreal, Canada on Oct 20, 2015. It describes a study of the impact of a single museum visit on the science self-efficacy beliefs, science interest and growth mindset of "emerging adults." Emerging adults are 18-29 years old, without children. The study found a significant, long-term impact on the self-efficacy beliefs of emerging adult women; a significant triggering of interest while in the museum, but no long-term positive impact on interest; and no effect on growth mindset.
Coaching Field Trip Students in InquiryExploratorium
This presentation was made to the Visitor Studies Association in Ft. Worth TX in July, 2009. It describes a program for helping school field trip students learn how to do inquiry at interactive exhibits in science museums.
This presentation was made at the 2009 meeting of the American Association of Museums in Philadelphia. The talk was part of a session called, "Drawing Visitors In:Engaging Visitors in Science, Art & Children’s Museums." After each speaker presented, the audience broke into groups to try out the speakers' methods for engaging visitors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

8. Hi there, kids--and adults, too. Welcome to the Skyscraper Challenge. Here’s a chance to see yourselves at work and think about how you solve problems together. First, your team’s going to build, while I take pictures of you. Then you can use those pictures to tell me the story of your building.
9. Goal: Build a Skyscraper (can be changed) Time Limit: 12 minutes plus 3
16. Findings Prototype: What do caregivers see? (Cohen & Arsenault, 2007) Pilot: Does the narrative experience increase or change what caregivers see? (Gaskins, NEIU Students, 2008) Evaluation: What are families talking about in their narratives? (Randi Korn, 2008)
