Technology Driven Differentiation - Jostens 2014Vicki Davis
You can differentiate your classroom with technology. Learn to build a framework and toolset that will help you use multisensory learning and differentiate to reach every single learner.
Technology Driven Differentiated Instruction: March 2016Vicki Davis
In this updated version of the popular Technology Driven Differentiated Instruction, Vicki Davis @coolcatteacher shares the pain points of teachers and how differentiated instruction can help them reach every child. With practical examples of how to solve problems, this presentation helps teachers understand not only what to do but how to do it in an everyday classroom setting.
The document discusses engaging students with technology and rethinking education. It addresses how technology can support literacy, community, and assessment.

Creativity, Collaboration, and Community in the STEM Classroom.keyKyle Schutt
2014 METC Session
When it comes to STEM, the whole is by far greater than the sum of its parts. Let's build a common understanding around the need for this inquiry-driven, connected framework of education. We'll observe STEM through the lens of the 21st century and see how educators are utilizing technology to collaborate and tackle their biggest challenges. And now that everything is digital, mobile, and social, we can start with ourselves as learners as well as leaders who model the rich, community-driven experiences that we want for our students.
A presentation I delivered for the State Department back in October 2008 - a customized version of a workshop that I deliver with examples across government.
This document discusses building stronger learning communities through transforming school, parent, and student collaboration with technology. Decades of research show that parent involvement leads to higher student achievement, better attendance, and lower rates of bad behavior. Technology provides new ways to connect learning communities and make collaboration transparent beyond barriers of time and space. When students, parents, teachers, and community members actively learn together through sharing ideas on blogs and social media, it empowers all individuals to get smarter through their connections.
This document summarizes a startup concept to connect parents and schools through extracurricular activities to benefit children's development. The startup would offer consulting services to public and private schools to stimulate engagement between parents, schools, and children. It would use programs and activities to collect data on parental involvement and reward involved families with cultural trips and points. The concept aims to close the gap between home and school life through recreational and cultural experiences.

Team Ramen, Bizmaestros'22, Final RoundAfnan Faruk
The document proposes launching a "DFG Club" campaign to promote the Surf Excel brand among 7-11 year old children. The campaign would establish DFG Clubs in schools that provide activities for children to explore and express themselves. It would also create an online platform for the clubs. The objectives are to give children an outlet beyond academics and build brand equity to increase regular Surf Excel usage. Key elements of the campaign include launching clubs in schools, holding reinforcement events, an explorers map and camp, and promotions through social media, YouTube and newspapers.
The Force Awakens - A New Hope for Gifted Education 2017Brian Housand
A long time ago, in a school far, far away, gifted education enjoyed what has been referred to as a Golden Age. With the dawn of NCLB, the pendulum swung in the direction of prescribed, didactic instruction that focused on meeting minimum standards and the weaknesses of our students. Meanwhile, the world saw technology advance at an unprecedented rate. In 2017, there is a great shift in the Force. We are seeing the dawn of a brand new day for gifted education. The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Students Act combined with new technology standards from ISTE has created the perfect opportunity for gifted education to move back to being a central focus of educational initiatives. Now is the time for us to form a Rebel Alliance and to become strong again in the ways of the Force.
