Building the Classroom of the Future… but I’m here now!
Superintendents, principals and administrators want to bring their classrooms into the 21st century, but where does a school district start? How do you communicate with real world experts, sort through tidal waves of information and build media rich classroom experiences starting with what you have? You have the personnel, you have the finances and it’s time to move forward. We will discuss 21st century classroom expectations, the concepts of starting small, building success, collaborating and getting things done.
It is very easy for any English teacher, not just those at the start of their careers, to get really excited by new technology offerings only to find themselves overwhelmed down the track by the task of 'keeping up' with what they have found or made. In this presentation you will have a chance to hear about some tools that you can use in your classroom, with a focus on how to manage the workload these entail. Working with students in online environments will require you to consider ethical questions, in particular issues around student privacy, and this will also be addressed. If you are or would like to be more of a digital teacher, come along to hear how to keep having fun and save your sanity in the e-teaching world!

Building Community in the Classroom - this is a presentation from a workshop for faculty at the American University in Cairo and has sample activities one can do to build community at various times in the semester.
How large is the gap that truly exists between the real and ideal for learners? Are there ways to “tweak” (small shift) instruction that will enlist students as deep questioners, critical thinkers and effective problem-solvers (big impact)? What if we created a “Destination Postcard” of the ideal learner, and designed learning experiences from there? Join this Switch-inspired think-tank on lesson design and implementation strategies that empower students to think and act their way to the acquisition and connection of content while developing enduring learning dispositions.
BYOB (Build Your Own Blend): Tinkering with Time, Place, Path & Pace for Stud...Shelley Paul
The Innosight Institute (2012) defines blended learning as: “a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace...” Given that blended learning is NOT about putting content online and hoping students will take it from there... How might we leverage digital tools, environments and processes to give students more control over time, place, path and/or pace, even within a traditional school schedule? How might we most effectively combine face-to-face and online experiences to engage learners and extend their thinking beyond traditional boundaries?
Twitter summary of this presentation: "To engage students, let them create content that matters and contributes. Use digital tools to connect them constructively to the world."

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

14. A Few of My Favorite
“Things...”
http://www.flickr.com/photos/santos/61479875/
15. Thoughts on Blog Posts
“It is literally a written conversation with the world.
What an opportunity for opening the mind!”
“Whether the blogs were about writing, ecology, or
encouraging learning, they made me feel connected
to people I have never met in person – and never
will, but whose opinions were suddenly important.
This was a pleasant and exciting surprise.”
http://travel1.edublogs.org/2008/09/24/thing-4-thoughts-on-blog-posts/
16. Student-Based Learning
for the Adult
“ By reviewing the materials, I was able to identify the
problem and implement the solution. What a wonderful
lesson to learn and share with adults who think being
the source of all knowledge is a teacher’s primary goal.
Critical thinking skills, student-based learning, and
discovery learning are nurtured and taught by giving
students the best tools, NOT all the answers.”
http://dbriggs.edublogs.org/2008/07/11/student-based-learning-for-the-adult/
17. Go Ahead and Use Me!
“We want people to take our ideas. We want
people to give us theirs ... the idea of stamping
something with a ‘Use Me, Please’ is exciting, if
not a little bit ego-inflated. Who would want to
use something I created? Everyone, clearly.”

so I’ve gotten familiar with RSS for about a
month now ... I love opening my google reader
to find all of my favorite news sources
consolidated in my own personalized little way.

22. Networked Learning
“...with Web 2.0 you can become part of a much wider
community, and are able to draw on a much larger and
diverse range of opinions than those of your colleagues. I
realized that I enjoy being challenged and stimulated by others
who have taken the time to express their opinions and relate
their experiences, and who have done so in a way that is well-
written and compelling to read.”

24. Reflections (Thing 23)
“I hope that I show my students my
excitement and enthusiasm for my new found
knowledge. I want to be an example of
someone enjoying life-long learning. Because
the more I learn the more I like learning.”
http://suzedw.edublogs.org/2008/07/30/thing-23-final-thoughts/
25. Reflections (Thing 23)
“I think [this course] has redefined how I learn and will
teach. That is a big statement. I always thought I had to be an
expert on something in the computer lab before I dared
take my students in but I know it is the process of learning
that is just as important. I feel so good that I completed this
course and I want my students to feel that exhilaration.”
