We need to become the COO of our classrooms, the Chief Opportunity Orchestrator. I first heard ‘sage on the stage’ and ‘guide on the side’ early in my teaching career when I decided to try The Flipped Classroom™. Through my flipped classroom failure, though, I did learn how to create a student-centered classroom.

If you’ve never heard of design, I’ll give you the simplest, best definition as created by my good friend and design mentor Kevin Jarret : Project-Based Learning + Empathy = Design.

I took a break from blogging because my summer has been jammed packed. But with the start of a new school year, I’m back to blogging. The video introduces my program and what students will be learning while the letter lets parents know why I made Fair Haven Innovates and how I run the program. What a wild summer. I missed you.

For this post, I asked the heads of the three student-led teams that have been pitching Skype to explain their ideas and how it makes them feel to lend their voice in creating the learning tools they’ll use in the classroom. Imagine being a teacher and being new to Skype in the Classroom. Why not have kids help?

All the social/emotional learning and soft skills I developed in football, wrestling, track, and rugby can be developed through esports. The research is clear that involvement in extracurriculars at school lead to better student development and learning. ESports athletes are athletes. They aren’t involved in any sports or clubs.

I started embracing student voice by asking them “how do you want to show me what you learned?” Fast forward six months, 4 student-led meetings, and over a dozen pitches later and FH Gizmos and Skype are joining forces on a new cooperative: We know student voice can revolutionize their learning, but can it revolutionize the edtech they use?

I’ve asked them to share their team name, what they’re making, why they’re making it, and what they’ve learned so far, and why they like class. What you’ve learned: How to use gravit so we can make models of our frames. What you like most about class: The constant feeling of learning something new. Students haven’t disappointed.

It’s one of the key ways they’re communicating with each other and consuming information outside school, so why wouldn’t schools want to use it in the classroom? While many schools have 1:1 programs, there are also the BYOD schools. Blog post by Stacey Pusey , based on this edLeader Panel. Join the Community.

Nudge Theory is something that I’ve written about a lot on this blog. I’ve tried to apply some of what I learned in my free time about Nudge Theory to my classroom, but I would love to see more work done by the professionals on how it can be applied to schools. I plan on diving deeper into this topic in a future blog post.

I’m not saying you should let kids play Fortnite in school, though I’m not opposed to it, I’m saying we should explore every avenue in embracing student’s passions to better their learning. There are many meaningful ways Fortnite can be used in the classroom without even installing the game. Can you learn to embrace Fortnite?

SHEG currently offers three impressive curricula that may be put to immediate use in secondary classrooms and libraries. All three are outstanding (and free), but perhaps the most immediately useful to readers of this blog is Civic Online Reasoning or COR. What do other sources say? contextualization. corroboration. periodization.
