After the first day of NCCE2020 in Seattle, I sit down with Tyler Rablin, Patrick Green and Chris Butler to reflect on our Day 1 take aways from NCCE2020

To kick off August and a month of 1:1 Summer of Fun we start with my reading of the peer-reviewed article I wrote along with Doreen Keller that was published in May 2019. We start with the Connectivism Learning Theory, a theory that talks about the connected ways in which we learn. It's the foundation for my own thinking in changing classrooms and schools.

A great conversation with Allison a High School Science teacher who talks about her classroom, what's important to her as a teacher and some fun projects she did with her students this year. Also I personally had two projects released this last week. A peer-reviewed article I wrote was published as well as a Webinar Interview I did with Microsoft.

This week I walk through a science lesson I did to start a unit on states of matter with 7th graders at a school I was working at a few years ago in Germany. Structure: The outline goes something like this. 10 minutes to research a topic, where you get your information I don’t care just learn as much as you can about a topic in 10 minutes 3-5 minutes depending on the age of the students to share your new knowledge with others in your class. 10 minutes as a class to bring our new knowledge together to see where we want to go next in the form of what questions do we still have? 5 minutes looking for patterns within our questions to create big ideas or themes that we can dive into. Each student decided what idea or theme they want to study, which one is most interesting to them and form groups around those interests to study and learn more about to report back to the whole class.

This week I chat with Steve Murphy a good friend and 1:1 classroom teacher of four years. Steve and I chat about tips and tricks for setting up your LMS in the new year to make sure it is successful. We talk a lot about Google Classroom as that is what Steve uses. However, these tips and tricks are not Google Classroom specific and can be used with any Learning Management System (LMS).

As we continue our 1:1 Summer of Fun one of questions always come back to Professional Development for educators and how do we do it right. According to research done by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation called "Teachers Know Best: Teachers views on Professional Development" (http://k12education.gatesfoundation.org/resource/teachers-know-best-teachers-views-on-professional-development/). Schools are not doing a very good job and most educators feel like PD is a hoop that needs to be jumped through. As educators why are not better at offering PD for our teachers. In this episode I chat with Tyler Rablin who's school district is rethinking PD in the face of the Internet and trying to find a way to give teachers more choice and voice in their PD options. 1:1 Summer of Fun links: Freebie: 30 Days of Free PD email series http://www.sospodcast.org/30days Discount: $25 for the course Digital Citizenship in the Classroom http://www.sospodcast.org/1to1/ Tyler's Links: "Teachers Know Best: Teachers views on Professional Development" (http://k12education.gatesfoundation.org/resource/teachers-know-best-teachers-views-on-professional-development/) @Mr_Rablin (https://twitter.com/mr_rablin) Website: https://teacher-totter.blogspot.com/

This week I sit down and chat about dealing with cell phones in the classroom. It might just be the hottest topic in education at the moment. I swear every conversation I have with teachers somehow some way turns to cell phones. In this episode I talk about how I go about handling these conversations with teachers as well as how I would structure my high school classroom today to meet students where they are. Talk about it: I find that if you start the year talking about cell phones in the classroom and face the fact that they are there you can continue to talk about them all year long. "I want you to have them, you want to have them so let's work together to make sure we're using them when we're supposed to." Is always a great start. A) it shows that you respect them B) You bring them into the fold of creating the cell phone policy for the class. Respect: I'll respect that you have a life outside this classroom and for better for worse it doesn't end when you walk through that door. However, at the same time, I need you to respect this learning environment for you and for others. If you need to use your phone because something crazy is going on in your life...just ask.. I won't disrespect your connected life and you do not disrespect the limited time we have together as a group. Continual learning: Constantly have discussions about "being connected". Learn why SnapChat is so "addicting" to them. Why are streaks so important? I find 99% of the time teenagers just really want someone to care and "get" their life. Bring articles in the classroom about kids being over connected and discuss those (so many blog posts here). We have to engage them in the conversations about being connected and understanding the pressure they are feeling in order to have the conversation to put it down and pay attention. An article from Brad Stulberg (https://www.outsideonline.com/2297671/most-eco-minded-toughest-gear-planet) came across my twitter feed yesterday. He writes for the blog outsideonline.com and if I were teaching HS today this is the type of article that when I found it I would share and discuss with my students. It’s a really good article that talks about some research around what happens just having our phone around us. But he ends the article with four things we can all do. Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Remove your phone from your visual field (for example, out of the room where you’re trying to work or out of your bedroom at night). Doing so immediately dampens its pull on you. Schedule Device-Free Time: Make hard rules for certain activities during which you’ll absolutely keep your phone out of sight. Examples: at the gym, on a hike, during deep-focus work, watching television with your significant other, and perhaps most important, when you’re sleeping. Monitor Your Usage: Apps like Moment, which tracks how much time you spend on your device, surface trouble spots and bring greater overall awareness to how (and when) you use your devices. Tech-Free Mornings: For the first 30 minutes after waking, don’t interact with technology. Instead, use this time to set an intention for the day; fully immerse yourself in a ritual like coffee, meditation, or yoga; or do a chunk of deep-focus work.

This week I catch up with some students from Nampa, Idaho who are finishing up their first year of 1:1 program and fill us in on what's working and not working for them. It's always great to hear from the kids and what a great way to kick off our "1to1 Summer of Fun".

This week I reflect on my manual labor weekend helping my wife flip a house north of Seattle. I woke up sore, tired and excited. Why? Why is doing stuff so much fun? How can we have students make more stuff? Questions: Where did I learn how to do all this? Why is manual labor so much fun? Why did I sleep so well? Challenges: 1. Find a way to have your students make something physical. Give them the challenge to build a tower, a bridge, a wagon for the Oregon Trail out of popsicle sticks. There is so much learning and feeling of accomplishments when we do manual labor and we get to see our progress. 2. Find a way to bring movement into your classroom. Find a way to get students up and moving!
