CJUSD CampEd 4

Using Google CS First coding , I would show teachers (most likely 3rd grade and above) how to incorporate coding into subject areas. I would use the Storytelling unit (http://bit.ly/2TFBt8f) found in the Google CS First curriculum to show how it can be used to reinforce narrative storytelling techniques, such as dialogue, settings, and ultimately a narrative. I would order the student materials to use in the session so teachers would see exactly what the students would get from the program as well.

Pedagogy is the driver; technology is the accelerator...improve student learning, increase efficiency, decrease your copy count by using EduProtocols. Based on the field guide by Jon Corippo and Marlena Heburn, successfully integrate low floor-high ceiling activities that will integrate technology and build class culture. What could be better!?!

1. Discuss what is metacognition? 2. Show various graphic organizers and helpful tools that teachers can use to scaffold students metacognitive awareness. 3. Show how certain tech tools, like Screencastify and FlipGrid can help teachers reach out to students easier and guide them towards metacognitive awareness.

Google Sites allows students to CREATE digital portfolios showcasing their progress, to COLLABORATE with teachers and peers to gain feedback and reflect on their work, and to COMMUNICATE beyond the walls of the classroom. This session provides attendees with a variety of resources and examples that will help them utilize sites in their classroom.

Decoding multisyllable words can be difficult for some students. In this session we will first focus on learning to recognize the pattern and make a gesture to identify syllable types. Next, we will focus on reading the syllable type. The third and last step is practice applying syllable recognition and vowel sound pronunciation to read two-syllable words.

1. Discuss narrative story structure--What makes a great story great? Narrative story structure is the building blocks of good storytelling. Without it, you just have a tech project. With it, you have an interesting story that meets or exceeds the CCSS. We will provide participants with graphic organizers, slide shows and YouTube links about story structure. 2. Discuss the digital storytelling process--from ideas to storyboards to production. 3. Talk about the various types of digital stories and view exemplars created by students. 4. Discuss technique--For example: long shots, vs. close-ups, sound effects, fade, etc... 5. Discuss hardware and software--Provide participants with how-to videos that will guide them through the technology part. 6. Discuss going global--how to hold a film festival at your school, and how to create a YouTube channel to house student work.

Do you have upper elementary students with poor spelling, inaccurate decoding of new words, mispronunciation of words, and difficulty remembering or recalling new words? Instruction in phonological awareness increases the likelihood that students will learn to read and spell with accuracy and fluency. This session will focus on explicit, systematic instruction of advanced phonemic awareness activities, especially for students in grades 3-6.

Make vocabulary fun and "sticky"! With a variety of strategies from Jon Corippo and Marlena Hebern, students will be engaged in meaningful interactions with learning. Strategies include Fast and Curious, the Frayer Model, and Pechaflicker
