Presentations

This presentation will highlight the design and implementation of a systematic computational thinking (CT) parent education program reaching thousands of primary school students’ families.

This highly interactive workshop will incorporate practical strategies to promote creativity with students when learning mathematics. Participants will be immersed in a social constructivist environment and walk away with resources to help their students to see the beauty of mathematics.

An Arduino board has a great potential: using the boards as relatively inexpensive tool to teach STEAM in classroom contexts, as well as an ideal measuring tool to perform engaging experiments with the smartphone.

This seminar will present some tips and ideas on how to assess students’ self-learning ability, how to engage students in lesson tasks, as well as how to create a meaningful and authentic learning experience for them.

Tired of being controlled by your phone? Constantly pestered by your email? If you would like to pursue an intentional and healthy relationship with technology, both in the workplace and in your personal life, this is the session for you.

Philly Free School is one of a small number of schools that really puts the power in the hands of students. At Philly free school students have as much say as the adults in not just what they learn, but how they learn.

By third grade, most students can decode and spell small, familiar words, but their spelling breaks down as they start tackling big words (words with seven or more letters).

Covid 19 has pushed learning at South African private school into the digital realm. Even as schools have been re-opened since the end of our hard lock down, hybrid teaching is still norm.

We will present a history of our journey of effective pedagogy and practice, leading to sharing ways of co-constructing learning to be effective and transformative in today's schooling structures. This will include engaging all stakeholders in how and why learning should shift.

To prepare for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), K-12 students must engage in authentic STEM practices that increasingly rely on computing and the use of computational thinking (CT).
