edWeb.net and Learning.com have started a new, free professional learning community geared toward helping educators prepare students with the skills they need to excel in today’s increasingly digital world. By 2020, it is estimated that nearly 80% of jobs will require some level of technology proficiency. Students must be given the opportunity to learn and develop digital literacy skills, and Learning.com makes it easy for educators to teach students these critical skills with online tools and lessons.
Schools throughout the world participate in the Computer Science Education Week’s #HourofCode, which will take place in 2016 from December 5th to 9th. Unfortunately, many schools don’t move beyond that hour.
In this webinar, join Bryan L. Miller, Educator Community Manager at Wonder Workshop, creators of Dash and Dot robots, along with Dr. Jennifer Williams and Fran Siracusa, Co-founders of Calliope Global. Together, their transformational work in redesigning classroom spaces, and knowledge in computer science and robotics implementations in schools provide an exciting framework and blueprint for bringing change to your school.
Attendees will learn about the essential components of computational thinking, the critical foundation of coding. The live, interactive session will also introduce techniques and tactics for introducing these concepts and skills into core curriculum.
Andrew Taylor, the Director of Technology and CIO with Byram Hills Central School District in Armonk, New York, joins two of his technology coordinators in this webinar. Together, they share their research, iterations, and essential questions that have helped to guide the design of the new spaces in their schools, and purchase technology equipment.
