Kids love to code. To quote one of my 6th graders when coding a Sphero, “This is the best day ever!” When you provide students the opportunity to code and program, you allow them to problem solve, learn patience, learn to fail, learn to work together, and participate in design thinking. Coding and programming is an essential 21st Century skill that all students should be able to learn.

Blend This, Flip That: The when and how of blending or flipping your classroom
Blended and flipped classrooms are proven to work, but they are not the silver bullet for education. By moving the lecture to the homework, it allows for more one on one instruction, differentiated learning, and opportunity for student success. But what do you do when the students don't watch the lecture? This training will provide you with the knowledge, skills and tools to carry out successful blended or flipped lessons and classes.

The World (and your classroom) Can Be Saved Through Design
The delivery of education doesn’t have to be ugly. Even Kanye said, “The world can be saved through design.” With a little creativity, everything you touch in the classroom can be dynamic and make an impact. If you view your classroom and lessons through a designer’s lens, things change. Creativity and the designer’s eye take focus on the look and feel of the lesson, as well as impact on the end user: your customer, the student.

Learn how to make your presentations pop and your graphic designs go from amateur to pro. This session will focus on the impact of design in every classroom and lesson, as well as many popular tools that anyone can use to make a difference with design. Come ready to learn ways to authentically capture your students’ attention and imagination.
