Blocking is NOT

• The Fear Factor
• Sexual Predators
• Teacher/Student relationships & texting
I will NOT let the less than
½% of all educators who are
sexual deviants & predators
& perverts rule my life.
Period.
Want to fight a pedophile?
The predators?
Then help educate the
victims BEFORE it
happens.

step out of that comfort zone, and try
something new. Innovation is DOING
new things!
#3 Inspire daily… yourself and those
around you.
#4 Realize this profession is a
gift…
Keeping positive in a
sometimes negative world…
#3 Inspire daily… yourself and those around you

seize everything you ever wanted in one moment,
would you capture it or just let it slip?”

Good Morning…
My name is Jay Gross. I am here today to talk to you about Communicating with today’s
students through technology. Let us take a moment and define communication. Dictionary.com
defines communication as:
 the act or process of communicating; fact of being communicated.
 the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs.
 something imparted, interchanged, or transmitted.
 a document or message imparting news, views, information, etc.
 passage, or an opportunity or means of passage, between places.
My Purpose today is give you some new ideas on how to exchange ideas with students.
 I also want you to take a chance and step outside your comfort zones.
 If there is time, I would like to tell you some stories.
 So let us now talk about technology. Dictionary.com defines technology as:
 the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their
interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial
arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.
 the terminology of an art, science, etc.; technical nomenclature.
 a scientific or industrial process, invention, method, or the like.
 the sum of the ways in which social groups provide themselves with the material objects of
their civilization.
Now that we have that straight, how do students today communicate?
 Texting
 Twitter
 SnapChat
 Instagram
 FaceBook
Prefer Handouts???
You do yours / I’ll do mine / We’ll pass & grade when done /
Then pass forward for our teacher
Or Dittos???
Ah… that smell
Jay… Show them the OLD stuff!
I overheard a
conversation with
teens…
You use Yahoo
email?
So? My mom still uses Hotma
What’s ‘Hotmail’? Is is
dirty???
Cell phones
a problem?
It is how I treat
my students…
They respond
back with what
they receive…
My
Classroom
 Project Based
 Groups
 “Guide on the Side / Not the Sage on the
Stage”
Go Old School… Hallway
time!
Establishing
Relationships with &
through technology…
Every single child we come across has a
gift…
It is our mission to help them find the gift.
Help them unwrap it. Help them polish it.
Help them use it.
They all have voices and all of them are
yearning to be heard…
Think about this for just a second...
What are digital story technology &
apps
without a story to tell?
If this were my last day teaching…
What would I say to them?
What would they remember about
me?
I am going to curse you two
ways…
#1
#2
EYES…
To always remember…
This profession is a gift…
And so are our students…
So are you as an Educator…
Thank you.
Today has been my honor…
All my best and then some…
