The workshop evaluation survey found that the majority of participants had a positive experience at the "Teaching Coding with Minecraft" workshop. Most participants agreed or strongly agreed that the workshop increased their interest in STEM opportunities, the facilitator was knowledgeable, the materials were useful, their knowledge was enhanced, and their practice would improve based on what they learned. The majority of participants rated the workshop as excellent or good. Several participants commented that they looked forward to using what they learned in their own coding clubs and classrooms. A few participants requested more in-depth explanations of certain coding concepts.

Differentiating Instruction with Technology v. 6.0 at GAETCVicki Davis
How do you differentiate instruction with technology? Here are the tips and tricks for building a toolkit and creating an environment where every student can learn through differentiating instruction.
How can we implement student-centered learning activities into any classroom?

Technology Driven Differentiated InstructionVicki Davis
How to integrate technology into the classroom so you can reach every student. This presentation covers selecting your tool kit, and the mindset of identifying pain points and solutions as you're working with students who are struggling to overcome obstacles and learn.
ClojureBridge is a nonprofit organization that provides free, inclusive workshops in Clojure to women. Over the past two years, the Clojure community has written a curriculum, developed an organizing guide, and started teaching workshops--but, how have those workshops played out in practice? In this talk, we'll look at what it takes to organize and run a successful ClojureBridge workshop, hearing from those who have done it, themselves!

Empowering New Programmers Through Introductory Arduino WorkshopsHailee Kenney
This talk was presented at SeaGL 2019
"Do you remember the first time you fell in love with programming? The joy that you felt the first time you wrote some code and saw your very first “Hello World”? For some of us it was a BASIC program, for others it was a GeoCities page. Those experiences inspire us to want to learn more and explore the limits of technology. This is the kind of experience that I try to cultivate when organizing introductory programming workshops. Many beginners find learning programming intimidating and it’s our role as teachers to show them that they’re capable and help create an experience that lets them fall in love with programming.
In this talk I'll discuss some key lessons I've learned through my own experiences organizing introductory programming workshops, and give some tips on how to organize your own. I'll also discuss two introductory workshops I've organized, including a particularly successful introductory Arduino workshop that I gave to a group that had no prior programming experience. This workshop was relatively low effort but had a big impact on those that attended. It’s my hope that everyone can walk away from this talk with the tools and inspiration they need to put on a similar workshop in their own community."
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.
Lessons learned and keys to success that were harvested by June Holley from a 5 module virtual practicum that was based on principles of learning and behavior change. This will be relevant to leadership programs and networks that want to augment face to face time with virtual learning opportunities that can address the geographic, time, and cost challenges of working only through face to face connections. As a teaser one of the lessons is the importance of “having the capacity to have breakout group capacity to increase engagement around content.”

• Will definitely use this with middle school kids! Thanks.
• Would have like more explanation on why blocks and saying go in which functions.
• I would be interested in expanding explanation of how to bridge the leap from Minecraft game
coding to real world coding application.
• So fun! Plan to use in my coding club! =)
• Thank you! =)
• Thanks =)
• Thank you! Useful info!
• Woo Woo!!
• Very hands on workshop!
• Very informative and creative!!!!
• Amazing presentation!
• Good job!
• It was a bit over my head, but the original workshop I was going to attend, collaborative groups,
