Thick or Thin? Presentation Skills and Frameworks for Teachers and Students

Should student presentations be text heavy? Or have only one word? Jon Corippo will share the correct answer: It depends. Student presentations can be powerful models of the 4Cs in action - or a deconstructed paragragh, it all just depends on what is appropriate for the lesson in question. Jon will also be sharing great tricks for creating prettier and more engaging slides and presentations.

No More Popsicle Sticks

Don't gather data from one student when you can gather it from EVERY student. The idea of tricking kids to listen in a 1:1 environment is no longer academically sound. So how do we find out what kids know? Come ready to amp up your tools to gather data from every student, easily, regardless of platform. Have your teachers snapshot the entire class, instead of random drawings. Learn how to grade less and give more feedback. Attendees will participate in an all out battle, exploring, creating, and analyzing some digital tools in this #edufightclub.
