      Question of the Week
      Our favorite part of recording a live podcast each week is participating in the great conversations that happen on our live chat, on social media, and in our comments section.
      This week’s question is:
       
      Weekly Topic: How to Create Effective and Engaging Multi-Hour Presentations and Workshops
      Workshop Proposals
      • Structure, Structure, Structure ... and Specific Timelines
      • Have a catchy title
      • Know your audience
      • Be clear in your course descriptions
      • Don’t try to sell a product in your presentation
      • Choose the category and topic that is currently hot!

      • Planning & Preparing
        • Showcase Time, Hands-On Time, Presentation Time and time for a few surprises!
        • Contact vendors for freebies to give away to attendees
        • Make sure you have your audience give aways all set and ready to go

        • Creating Expectations
          • Amplify on Social Media
          • Contact attendees ahead of sessions (if you have emails)
          • Stand in the hallways and bring people in

          • Before the workshop happens
            • Check Venue
            • Check your Tech (have backups!)
            • Be prepared to throw out the script if needed
            • Create a bit.ly or short link that people can easily go to in case things aren’t working.

            • Workshop/Presentation Activities
              • Allow others to shine – don't be the “sage on the stage”
              • Hands-on, kinesthetic, group learning.
              • Present like a wrestler!
              • Playgrounds: Have an elevator pitch ready!

              • Post Workshop
                • Collection of all resources on Wakelet to share

                • Saying Thank You
                  • Follow-up emails to attendees, recounting their successes, thanking them for their active participation and challenging them to do something in the future (maybe become a presenter themselves?)

                                                    The edtech coaching role is often misunderstood. This leads to edtech coaches being underutilized or being pulled into various tasks that are not aligned with the ISTE Standards for Coaches. The Edtech Coaching Primer provides a clear way of implementing this role in K-12 education and offers resources for not only those who are edtech coaches, but also for those who support the role at the school or district level.

                                                                      • Relationships across the board. Make them comfortable coming to you no matter what grade level.

                                                                      • Similar strategies are definitely effective such as 1:1 coaching, Lunch/learns, etc. Etc.

                                                                      • At the high school level, think about meeting with the department heads periodically to get a feel for how things are going and then fill the principal in throughout the year.

                                                                                                                                      This interactive book from the author of Sketchnoting in the Classroom shows educators how to use the practice of dot journaling to develop a personalized system for time management, goal setting and more to improve productivity and save time.
                                                                                                                                      We are living in an age when “hustle” and “grind” are part of our daily lives. While teachers are expected to stay on top of their lengthy to-do list, the demands on them are greater than ever. How can we provide the tools teachers and, by extension, their students need to declutter thoughts, manage time better, and remain focused and productive?
                                                                                                                                      With her approachable style, educator and trainer Nichole Carter demonstrates how unlocking the creative brain can help improve mental health and problem-solving ability, as well as lead to better self-awareness and time management. Filled with the author’s original illustrations, the book shares ideas and techniques for developing an effective, personalized system to improve productivity and address teacher burnout. The book can also help teachers help students — particularly those in older grades — prioritize and think through their thoughts, goals and actions to be more productive learners.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Learn how librarians can positively effect change in areas like digital equity and inclusiveness, while creating powerful programming for middle and high school students.
                                                                                                                                                                                      Developing programs for learners can be an ongoing challenge for librarians – especially first-year librarians. Current books on the topic primarily focus on makerspaces or read alouds, and are aimed at elementary school grades, with a surface-level approach. This book addresses deeper issues that librarians face, while illustrating how to serve teens and tweens specifically by offering programming relevant to their lives.
                                                                                                                                                                                      The authors offer practical ideas for developing effective programming through collaborating with the community to develop and implement programs, connecting programs to ISTE Standards and curriculum, and addressing curricular and socio-emotional needs. They also share practical advice on budgeting and funding to support programs, scheduling, maximizing the use of technology to aid in programming and much more. The book also explores ways library programs can have a positive impact on school culture, such as addressing the digital divide, inclusion and cultural relevance.

Since then, she has fully flipped all of her courses, which she blogs about in her personal website. Nowadays, she combines flipped learning and in-class flip with growth mindset education.

The book explains what in-class flip is and how it differs from traditional flipped learning. The book contains 13 chapters that walk teachers through the many possibilities to conduct an in-class flip across settings, providing detail for teachers to implement it successfully and from scratch. We lay out the theory behind flipped learning and construct our own definition of In-class Flip, including comparisons with other authors’ conceptions of this approach. The book was written by two language and teacher educators, but to fill the gaps of content and context the authors might have, fifteen educators around the globe and in multiple fields were interviewed and their stories provide a wider scope. We also explain how differentiation plays an important role in the use of in-class flip. This is a practical book with many real-life examples (images, videos, lesson plan formats), a step-by-step planning guide, and information about online learning, gamification and other methodologies that in-class flip supports. Throughout the different pages, educators will encounter a myriad of ideas they can take into their classes as soon as they pick up this book.

Teachers must now leverage technology to provide students with high-quality teaching and learning experiences that transcend a traditional classroom’s walls. This is a historic opportunity to reimagine instruction in ways that boost learning outcomes and prepare students for living and working in the digital age. This book offers guidance for creating and sustaining rigorous and engaging blended learning solutions. Opening with lessons learned from the pandemic, the book addresses impacts on lesson design and delivery, student engagement, assessment, and teacher training and professional development. The following chapters build on and address these experiences, with each chapter featuring strategies and examples of how to implement effective approaches to lesson design for blended and online instruction.
