<\/div>\n
Making, Coding, and Engineering Whether You Have a Makerspace or Not <\/b>(masterclass)<\/div>\n
The co-author of \u201cthe bible of the maker movement in schools,\u201d 1:1 computing pioneer, and popular speaker, Gary Stager, returns to Australia to lead a masterclass based on thirty-five years of helping teachers realize the power of learning-by-doing in their classrooms. Participants will gain benefit of the expertise Gary has developed leading \u201cmaking\u201d workshops around the world for the past four years. This work is distilled into a several rich hands-on making, coding, and engineering activities using a variety of affordable technologies that may be successfully implemented in any classroom.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Learn to learn and teach with in the exciting world of Hummingbird robotics, littleBits, Scratch, Snap!, Turtle Art, wearable electronics, microcontrollers, digital\u00a0paper craft, programmable toys, and other new materials in a project-based context.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

You will learn:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • How new tools and technology can reinvigorate Project-Based Learning<\/li>\n
  • Best classroom practices for integrating maker technology<\/li>\n
  • How to plan engaging projects based on the TMI design model<\/li>\n
  • How to choose the technologies with the maximum learning impact<\/li>\n
  • How to make the case for making, tinkering, and engineering across the curriculum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    Bring a laptop and your imagination. We\u2019ll supply the rest (craft materials, art supplies, construction elements). This workshop is suitable for all schools, grades, and subject areas.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Beyond Creativity: Educating for an Uncertain World <\/b>(main presentation)<\/div>\n
    Join Dr. Gary Stager as he makes the case for embracing modernity as a way of preserving the finest traditions of child development and preparing children to solve problems neither their parents or teachers\u00a0can imagine. As a father, grandfather, and veteran educator, Gary remains optimistic that each kid can realize their potential if parents and educators are courageous enough to stand on the side of children.\u00a0During his presentation, Gary will illustrate how learning-by-doing, new technological materials, and timeless craft traditions can supercharge the learning process. He will encourage us to educate for the the\u00a0future of our kids, rather than our past, and demonstrate how not all screens are created equally. Along the way, he will share evidence of educators more than up to this herculean challenge.<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Making the Digital Technologies Curriculum Meaningful <\/b>(expo talk)<\/div>\n
    Look hard enough and you should find objectives in the Australian and state Digital Technologies curricula that may be used to support rich, relevant, and authentic project-based learning across the P-12 curriculum. Dr. Stager will help you navigate the mountain of tables, objectives, and contradictory messages so that all educators have the courage to begin realizing the power of digital technologies to learn and do what was perhaps unimaginable just a few years ago with a sense of urgency and confidence. He will define critical terms, dispel myths, and offer an expansive educational vision that builds upon the new curriculum.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
