Conferences/Workshops:
Keynote: 30 Goals Education Conference: Impact of social media on students' communication skills. Have you ever wondered if texting, tweeting and snapchatting impact our students' communication skills in the classroom? Well, they certainly do! This session will introduce different social media tools that students use for social communication and will explore the impact they have on their oral and writing communication in the classroom. Effective strategies will be discussed on how to manage this Impact and help students communicate effectively. Workshop: TESL Ontario Spring Conference: Create your own Professional Learning Network This workshop will help introduce attendees the power of being a connected educator. There will be a short presentation and demo about the impact and use that Twitter has on the teacher's professional development and classroom practices. After the presentations, teachers will be guided towards creating their own accounts and profiles with recommendations, tips and guidelines on how to navigate the digital space as a connected educator. This workshop is useful for new and seasoned teachers who want to explore social media as a way of creating their digital career portfolios. Workshop: HipHop STEMposium From "Hall of Fame" to "Dark Sky Paradise" What song speaks to your identity? Who you are in life? Who you want to be? Who do you look up to? Who inspires you? Makes you dream? Well, chances are you and that artist have more things in common than you know. Our minds speak louder than words about our choices. This workshop will empower students through inquiry and problem-solving skills to design a life plan in relation to specific songs they feel passionate about. Students will reflect, design, learn and share while jamming to some beats. |
