HACK #1: Transforming classrooms with flipped learning
Flipped learning is being implemented in classrooms at an accelerated rate across the U.S. If you’ve ever thought about incorporating some form of blended learning, don’t miss your opportunity to e-meet Greg Green, who is widely recognized as a pioneer of flipped learning.
During his time as Principal of Clintondale High School, Greg gained national media coverage by being the first person in the nation to upend the traditional model of education by flipping an entire school. * Greg is now the superintendent of the Clintondale Community School District.
HACK #2: Empowering teachers with coding resources
Coding is quickly joining the ranks of math and science when it comes to building essential skills. So what comes next after the Hour of Code?
Turns out you don’t have to know code in order to use it in your class. Despite her inexperience with computer programing, High School English teacher, Cheryl Steenson, implemented a visual coding program to facilitate digital storytelling. Hear firsthand how she leveraged ITCH to manage her class assignments. Click here to see an interview with Cheryl.
HACK #3: Engaging students through gaming
Gamification is a pretty hot topic when it comes to learning tools. Come to our booth to learn why Jan and Carey Cook—co-founders of MyVocabulary.com—left behind the standard flashcard and definition approach to vocabulary and replaced it with gaming activities. Their interactive puzzles have helped improve thousands of students’ reading comprehension and verbal skills. 20,000 K-12 teachers have used MyVocabulary.com and more than 300,000 unique visitors use the word puzzles every month.
Ensure your class is ahead of tomorrow’s trends.
