Technology can help us create an amazing learning experience for students. But it’s not easy. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all the options. And how do we know it will actually help student learning? The Ditch That Textbook Workshop is designed to empower you with tools you can use AND lots of practical, effective ways to use them. This workshop is anything but “sit and get.” You’ll play the part of the student, trying new activities hands-on. Then, you’ll see what it takes as a teacher to make them happen. You’ll leave with new strategies to try the next school day -• and we’ll have LOTS of fun along the way!
With advertising, social media, and constant notifications, it's harder than ever to maintain attention -• especially in the classroom. How can we keep student attention, and engage them in meaningful learning? It's all about the Attention Switch in our students' brains. In this session, you'll learn what keeps students connected, and you'll feel inspired to create learning that students will love. This speech features unexpected twists and lots of fun, looking at now-defunct social media platforms, Pinterest fails, YouTube trends, and more. You'll walk away with some practical, concrete steps and ideas for engaging students as well as big-picture ideas that can shape your instruction.
The world is changing quickly. The work world demands more and more. How can we prepare students for it? And can we do it in a way that honors our unique, true selves as teachers? Using classroom stories, vision and surprises at every turn, Matt Miller shows how teaching is a craft -• part art and part science. With a little perspective and confidence, we can take great strides toward the classroom of our dreams. You’ll leave this speech entertained, equipped and inspired to create memorable learning that changes students’ lives.
