This document discusses the importance of storytelling for learning. It notes that humans think in metaphors and learn through stories. Several images are included that depict storytelling, with captions about telling stories, developing empathy, and the three elements of a good story: characters, conflict, and resolution. Rules of thumb and activities for moving classroom learning from lower to higher order thinking skills are presented, emphasizing personalizing tasks, collaboration, feedback, and publishing. Storytelling is described as a Trojan horse for learning.

Albert Einstein said: “Play is the highest form of research.” We’re going to do some serious research into the potential of mobile devices for learning. First we’ll play. Then we’ll learn by unpacking the things we did while playing. Expect to be out of your seat and learning with others in this high impact, fun and educational session exploring practical ways mobile devices can be used to help students learn and share their learning with the world.
Don’t forget to bring along a smartphone or tablet!
How can we make learning sticky using powerful storytelling frameworks that tap into peoples' emotions? How do we involve all students in creating digital content that doesn't also create hours of content for teachers to assess? This interactive session will showcase Digital Storytelling activities teachers can use in class tomorrow! Document student learning & foster reflective ways for students to share their learning. 1st: we play! Then we'll discuss how to practically adapt these ideas, make them your own, and figure out what sort of infrastructure needs to be in place to support these kinds of powerful learning experiences. We’ll learn how to exercise your students' & your own creativity muscles and share simple strategies for collecting & publishing student work.

6 different lightweight ideas/activities you can implement in your classes tomorrow to leverage mobile (and stationary) technology to document student learning and foster reflective ways for students to share what they're learning. We don't just talk about them, we do them. Then we talk about them and how each of us might practically adapt these ideas in our own classrooms.
Basically, we have fun, play with practical ideas that allow teachers to easily incorporate technology in their classroom daily, and leverage some of the mobile technologies that are increasingly found in students' pockets. Six Easy Pieces is an accessible introduction to the fundamentals of using technology in the classroom.

Aprendices is a group of people where sharing knowledge is the standard way of interaction. At TEDxBilbao we want to talk about its main features -most of them in opposition to formal education- and try to explain the keys of its success: simplicity, (g)locality, learner needs focus, light identity and a low-tech approach. We are aware that Aprendices-like initiatives are not the solution to all problems regarding education, so we'll discuss also some of their drawbacks.

Il Teorema dell'Attenzione della ContentsferaJacopo Paoletti

Era il 1996, gli albori di Internet, quando Bill Gates coniò il motto “Content is King”, definendo per la prima volta in modo chiaro la centralità del contenuto in ogni ambito strategico. In questi 20 anni l’universo informativo è però cresciuto in modo esponenziale, dando vita ad un’offerta generale di contenuto inimmaginabile per qualsiasi uomo del Novecento.
La Rete, per via della sua struttura intrinsecamente nodale (sia fra persone ed organizzazioni che fra i media stessi), garantisce oggi ad ogni individuo la possibilità di essere medium (cioè produttore e veicolatore di contenuti informativi propri e di terzi “alla pari”), ma che allo stesso tempo produce un’offerta di contenuti sempre più vasta e sempre più difficile da organizzare e consultare. All’aumento della velocità con cui avviene questo fenomeno, aumenta infatti anche la quantità di contenuto offerto da e per ogni soggetto. Questa tendenza naturale dell’informazione a crescere in modo infinito, produce un rumore informativo che diviene per assurdo la barriera stessa per accedere al contenuto che realmente ci interessa.
In questo nuovo scenario, la risorsa scarsa non è più quindi il contenuto, ma bensì l’attenzione, cioè la capacità di un contenuto di emergere dal rumore di fondo e coinvolgerci: se infatti è vero che tutti possono produrre un contenuto e diffonderlo, è allo stesso modo vero che un singolo individuo non ha lo stesso parallelismo per poterne fruire di molteplici (generalmente consumiamo una media di 1/2 contenuti informativi nello stesso istante di tempo).
Va anche detto che il contenuto liquido, tendendo alla conversazione, è intrinsecamente sempre più dinamico, ed è proprio da qui che nasce la necessità di attenzione, intesa proprio come attività propedeutica alla partecipazione di un individuo con il contenuto fruito (engagement): senza attenzione di un soggetto ad un determinato contenuto informativo non potrà infatti esserci interazione con lo stesso (basti pensare al nostro comportamento con le condivisioni sui social).
Se c’è quindi una rivoluzione in corso nel mondo del marketing e della comunicazione è quella che vede il passaggio da “Content is King” ad “Attention is God”.

Exploring Chemical and Biological Knowledge Spaces with PubChemPaul Thiessen
My presentation for the Drug Repurposing workshop at the upcoming Bio-IT World Expo.
http://www.bio-itworldexpo.com/Bio-It_Expo_Content.aspx?id=124256
Presentation abstract:
PubChem has a wealth of chemical structure and biological activity information. In conjunction with NCBI’s other resources such as PubMed and GenBank, PubChem is a vast source of information relevant to repurposing not only of established drugs but any compounds with in vivo pharmacology and/or clinical results. The challenge is how to take advantage of this knowledge. The ability to explore not only chemical similarity but relationships between diseases and disease targets has crucial value in repurposing. While focused investigations are already possible within the existing Entrez system, navigation across these linked information spaces can be difficult to do on a large scale with current tools. We are actively developing new infrastructure to support such analyses, and pursuing new methods of exploring inter- and intra-database relationships between chemicals, targets, diseases, and patents. Progress and some future direction in these areas will be presented.

Slides to support a workshop on visual thinking across the curriculum at the IntegratEd Conference. Portland, Oregon, February 2013.
Over 80% of our brains are used interpreting visuals. It seems a waste not to take advantage this powerful channel into the minds of our students. What sorts of ways can a single image be used to tell stories and explore complex ideas in Math, Science, Language Arts or Languages classrooms? What could we do with a series of pictures? How can we do this beyond the time and space of the classroom walls and have our students generate a bank of powerful visuals to inspire future students to create even more powerful learning imagery?
In this hands on session participants will mash up their ideas with powerful images, painlessly share them with the group and spend the lion’s share of our time together thinking deeply and discussing our shared vision for what real learning looks like in our classrooms. We’ll touch on ideas of ethical and responsible use of technology, creative commons and some thoughts about visual design.

Tales of Learning and the Gifts of Footprints v4.2Darren Kuropatwa
Presented at the Richmond District Conference, Feb 2017.
Why does digital learning matter? In a society that is increasingly technophilic what are the new literacies we need to be aware of for our own learning and that of our students? How does this impact the way we think about and teach our children to become empowered and empathetic responsible citizens? Answers to these questions and more are shared through a series of powerful tales of learning.

Behind Their Eyes - making thinking visible is not enough
Walk into any classroom and watch the breakneck pace at which teachers are working hard to help students learn. Mind you, if we don’t uncover what students are thinking while learning, they may be running down the wrong path. OK, so we need ways to make student thinking visible. Seeing their thinking is important, but we also need to create the time and space for teachers to absorb, reflect, and act on what their students thinking reveals. This workshop shares strategies both for making student thinking visible and for creating time and space for teachers to meaningfully act on what they learn about what’s going on behind their eyes.
“If you really want to understand something, try changing it.” - Kurt Lewin
As the Director of Learning for a school division made up of 18 schools, my job is to help lead the largest change initiative ever undertaken in our school community. One of the most important, difficult, messy things any school leader does is lead change. While we can learn from the change leadership of others, copying their work most often leads to failure. Success is more likely to come from adapting others work to our own context. In this workshop I share the journey we’ve undertaken collectively in our schools; how we developed a shared vision, cultivated collaborative cultures, maintained a focus on deep learning, and wrestle with the nuances of accountability. Informed by the latest research on change management in education, we also model strategies for fostering deep learning conversations in your schools. We’ll engage in some deeper learning conversations together and take back a wealth of ideas you can adapt to your own context. Developing collaborative cultures is careful and precise work that has profound impact when carried out well. So how do you do that? Come, let’s learn together. Good people are important, but good cultures are moreso.
In a world where knowledge is more a verb than a noun how do we foster deep learning in our students? Good questions cause thinking. Unfortunately, many of the questions regularly asked in classrooms focus on knowledge as a noun. This presentation will explore inquiry as a pedagogical stance and the effective use of thinking and learning tools in the classroom. We will work together to model teaching practices that lead to students co-constructing a networked (real world) rather than hierarchical (artificial) understanding of their world regardless of grade level or discipline.
Participants will leave this workshop with a toolkit of research based questioning and thinking strategies they can begin using with their students tomorrow.
This participatory session will engage attendees in some meaningful dialogue around several aspects of digital citizenship. We'll explore some hot-button topics and consider their impact on the work we do as educators. This session will provide clarification around a number of key digital citizenship issues and will also highlight a valuable model for engaging your students in classroom conversations. There’s a fair bit of fear mongering disguised as digital citizenship online. Our kids need more models of empathy and empowerment – so do we. We’ll share some of those models too.
Presented at the Riding the Wave Conference in Gimli, Manitoba. May 2017.
In two words, you remember the whole story: glass slipper, sour grapes, cold porridge. You remember more than facts, you recall relationships & deeper connections between characters. Some of the powerful ways we leverage digital for deeper learning includes challenging sources of information (fake news), exploring bias (developing empathy through multiple perspectives), and creating powerful feedback loops that foster deeper learning.
Powerful narratives, in a word or two, bring to mind a wealth of ideas & relationships; more than just facts. How can we find stories that make our teaching sticky and help kids find, and more importantly tell, stories that make learning stick? This workshop will equip teachers with the skills & knowledge to foster deeper learning across the curriculum by intentionally leveraging digital tools to foster deeper learning.

Digital Ethics or The End of The Age of Legends v5.2Darren Kuropatwa
Slide deck in support of a conversation with educators about how to embed the teaching of digital ethics across the curriculum and holding up a mirror to our own ethical online behaviour before becoming too critical of the students who learn from us.
Held at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston, MA. 17 July 2015.
We live in an age where everything is recorded digitally – in pictures, video, and text – live as it happens; it's the end of the age of legends. "Selfie", according to the Oxford dictionary, is the word of the year 2013. Often the selfies our students are sharing aren't putting their best digital foot forward. As teachers, how can we help our students leave digital footprints they can be proud of? Is only sharing your "best stuff" such a good idea? How do we address the issue of digital ethics across the curriculum and in our classrooms?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
