My sessions

Blend My Learning!

October 26, WEDNESDAY
13:30 - 14:30
Library 1

Blended learning refers to curriculums that are delivered online and in traditional brick-and-mortar classrooms. As more schools get reliably connected to the Internet, more educators are wondering how to best leverage digital learning in class. In this session we’ll hear from a literacy organization developing blended learning content for school-aged students, a Teach for All partner organization (Teach for India) that’s piloted a scalable technology-based professional development platform for teachers, and explore practical ways that you can record and share your own videos on a dime.

Fostering Student Leadership

October 26, WEDNESDAY
11:00 - 12:00
SC 3 Classroom 6306

In this session we will explore the role of student leadership and how putting students at the center and enabling them to take ownership of their learning helps them shape a better life for themselves and their communities. We will hear about multiple approaches to fostering student leadership and have a conversation with the students about how these approaches have shaped their own leadership journey.
