We would love your feedback as we continue to develop workshops to educate teachers in the tools of flipping and the magic of puppets. Sam: In my life as an educator I have lead workshops in responding to student writing, writing college essays, writing blogs with students, and sharing student writing.

Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts

NOVEMBER 7, 2016

I have to admit, that I’ve avoided edcamps and unconfernces for a while, because they have felt to me like group hugs… warm and cozy, but not a lot about moving my learning forward. Our present education system is built around always finding the ‘right’ answer, but when can the wrong answer be valuable?

The enthusiasm shared by educators who understand that social media will forever impact their lives and practice is very reminiscent of the vibe expressed by dot-commers two decades ago during the first wave of the Internet boom—this is a very good thing. I’ve served as both a journalist and participant within each movement. Here’s why.

I personally have used FlipSnack as a way of creating more interesting workshops instead of a powerpoint or Google Slides. What are the common mistakes that educators make when they’re trying to use FlipSnack? You know, I did have an educator say to me once I like to use it for student portfolios. Students absolutely love it.

This post was also a guest post for McGraw-Hill Education. All too often in education – whether that be at a conference, in a professional learning workshop, or even at a faculty meeting, we have become used to one person in the room being the “expert”, or the “Oz” around a particular topic. As educational.

I've found that I enjoy looking at opportunities to do education differently but not for the sake of different- for the sake of solving an issue. Recently, I had this revelation that our teachers needed more training on the design thinking process in order to support and understand our goals for STEAM education. I like change.

Why are we constantly revamping educational programs but we deliver the same PD for teachers? One PL strategy that seems to work well are Edcamps. and no particular order…. So how do you do that?
