August PD: Part 2
Day 2 the question was: How might we use our collective strengths to improve teaching and learning?
Teachers often ask for time to learn new tools that have come out during the year. The team organizing professional development came up with 9 tools they thought teachers would want to know more about. Some, such as Classroom, has been in practice in some classrooms and others, such as FlipGrid were new. We also wanted to show teachers the idea of student choice.
With our goal of using our collective strengths, I came up with a choice grid, based on a Hyperdocs template.
There are 9 tools to choose from. Each square goes to an individual doc where a description of the tool, the room to meet in, some links, and the ability to take notes was available. Using the Edcamp model, I encouraged teachers to switch sessions if something wasn't working and to take notes so that other teachers could benefit if they missed a session. In the center of the choice grid is a link to share #onenewthing they learned or wanted to share.
Casey Bell came out with a very timely article which fit perfectly as a take away for the activity: How to Push the Boundaries of School with Dynamic Learning. This activity was well received but we could have used about a half hour more for time. We will use it again later in the year.

August PD: Part 1
Something that we have done in the past is to share a new idea using technology at faculty meetings. Either the principal or I would point out something we had seen in the classroom. The teacher would then do a quick overview. We called it "Geek of the Week" and it was modeled on the Seedlings podcast that I used to participate in. So I remixed "Geek of the Week" and a Lego activity and came up with #onenewthing.
- Find a partner. Decide who is one and who is two
- Grab a cup of Lego (half filled Solo cups with random pieces of Legos)
- Ground Rules:
- No talking
- You will have 4 minutes to build something which I will tell you about in a minute.
- While building, you may trade Lego pieces with your partner, but it must be a one to one trade.
- You will have 4 minutes to build a representation of something new that you learned this summer.
- After the 4 minutes is up, Turn and Talk.
- Partner 1 - try to guess what Partner 2 made. Partner 2 then shares what they learned.
- Partner 2 - try to guess what Partner 1 made. Partner 1 then shares what they learned.
- Who would like to share one of their creations?
- Now let's think about our classrooms. What is #onenewthing you would like to try this year? Share with your partner.
- If you would like to show your creation - leave it on the table in the back.
