SUMMARY:Level Up! Integrating Games and Gamification
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Michael M. Grant\, Associate Professor of Educational Technology\, University of South Carolina\, and President-Elect and Convention Planner\, Association for Educational Communication and Technology\nHosted by Dr. Monte Tatom\, Associate Professor of Education\, Freed-Hardeman University\, TN \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nGames and gamification can be powerful and controversial tools for teaching and learning. This edWebinar provides: \n\nBackground on learning\, motivation\, and research for using games and gamification\nExplanation and examples of gaming to support learning\nStrategies\, examples\, and opportunities for gamification to support teaching and learning\n\nThe topics of games and gamification in learning\, of which individuals engaged in teaching and learning should be aware\, have persistently been cited as important or cutting-edge. Games and gaming are distinguished by their specific original purposes of entertainment; however\, serious games\, which are most akin to simulations\, are designed to educate first. Most recently\, gamification applies game design elements\, particularly those engendering motivation\, to non-game processes like courses and instructional units.  \nViewers will be introduced to games and gamification and receive numerous practical examples to try in their own settings or inspire changes to existing lessons. This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to preservice teachers.  \n  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Michael M. Grant is Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina and coordinator for the educational technology programs. His research considers three areas: the design and development of technology-enhanced learning environments\, graphic and instructional designs to support learning\, and key learner characteristics. His most recent scholarship has focused on inquiry methods\, such as project-based and problem-based learning\, and mobile learning in K-12 and higher education within STEM disciplines. Dr. Grant earned his Ph.D. from The University of Georgia in instructional technology. He is the president-elect for the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT)\, planning the 2019 convention. \n \nAbout the Host\nDr. Monte Tatom received his Ed.D. in educational administration at Auburn University. He has been in K-12 education for 26 years as a teacher\, assistant principal\, principal\, and coordinator of staff development. He retired from Mobile County Public School System in December 2005. He began working at Freed-Hardeman University (FHU) in January 2006. He is an associate professor of education within the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at FHU.

SUMMARY:Promoting Belonging in Math Through Instructional Choices and Practices
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jamaal Sharif Matthews\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Montclair State University\, NJ; and Alison R. Shell\, Ph.D.\, Research Fellow\, the Learner Variability Project\, Digital Promise\nHosted by Barbara Pape\, Communications Director\, the Learner Variability Project\, Digital Promise Global\nSponsored by Digital Promise \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nPsychological\, sociological\, and educational research has shown that students’ positive perceptions of belonging in school is related to healthy school outcomes: academic motivation; achievement; mental and physical health; college GPA; and educational aspirations\, among many others. Data also shows\, however\, that the role of belonging in school success may be even more substantial for ethnic minority and socially marginalized youth. For example\, research suggests that lower value beliefs are related to lower participation in STEM during college and career for Black\, Brown\, and poor youth. \nWhile many teachers may understand the significance of belonging for building classroom community and student comfort\, they may be less aware of their power to promote belonging through their instructional choices and practices. \nAs a former middle school math teacher and now math education researcher\, Dr. Jamaal Sharif Matthews grounds examples\, strategies\, and narratives within the domain of mathematics instruction. He discusses why and how the uncertainty of belongingness in math classes is particularly rife for many adolescents. \nThis edWebinar underscores mindsets and practices teachers can develop to assuage the assault against belonging and to become proactive in restoring equity and opportunity in classrooms that serve students from disenfranchised backgrounds. \nDuring the session\, Dr. Matthews and Dr. Alison Shell from Digital Promise highlight the necessity for teachers to develop healthy mindsets as precursors to enacting equity-based teaching practices. They also provide instructional strategies to help teachers analyze\, coordinate\, and adjust instruction in order to dismantle threats against students’ senses of belonging in the classroom and\, generally\, improve instruction. Last\, they explain what research suggests is critical for developing a sense of belonging to achieve academic success and provide strategies teachers can use to help create belonging in math class. \nThis session is of particular benefit to preK-12 and higher education teachers and school and district leaders.  \nAbout the Presenters \nJamaal Sharif Matthews is an associate professor of educational psychology at Montclair State University in New Jersey. He earned his joint Ph.D. in education and psychology from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research explores the connections between social cognition\, achievement motivation\, identity development and learning during adolescence. He examines these issues among historically disenfranchised populations\, specifically Black American and Latinx adolescents in urban schools\, applying a critical race perspective on the psychological processes that undergird adaptive and healthy school functioning for these populations. \nDr. Matthews conducts much of his research within the context of mathematics classrooms\, math education and learning. The arc of his most recent work details how math instruction\, executive functions\, and cultural stigma interact in explaining how urban adolescents negotiate their sense of belonging in mathematics classrooms and their value of mathematics. His research has also revealed how racial identity development during adolescence can buffer the negative effects of racial stereotypes and stigma on mathematics motivation\, facilitating resilient mindsets toward learning and thriving in mathematics. He has published this and related research in top academic journals\, including the Journal of Educational Psychology\, and Developmental Psychology\, among others. Dr. Matthews has received several national awards and acknowledgements\, including three competitive and prestigious dissertation awards from the American Psychological Association and ProQuest. \n \nAlison R. Shell\, Ph.D. is a research fellow on the Learner Variability Project team at Digital Promise. Her work focuses on digging up evidence to support the factors that underlie learner success. She earned her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology at the University of Maryland\, with a focus on the cognitive processes that underlie language. \nPrior to moving to Washington D.C.\, she was involved in research projects in the Boston area\, including investigating the biological underpinnings of autism and working to develop more linguistically sound reading assessments for young-adult readers. Alison received her M.S. in psychology from the University of Maryland and her B.A. in cognitive science from Vassar College. \nAbout the Host\nBarbara Pape is the communications director for the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise Global (DPG). She has 20 years of experience in strategic communications\, writing\, and policy analysis\, primarily in education. Previously\, she served as Executive Producer of the award-winning Teaching & Learning conference\, sponsored by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards\, where she developed content and oversaw outreach and communications. As a writer\, she has written for numerous publications\, including Harvard University\, the National Education Goals Panel (U.S. Department of Education) and Parents magazine. Barbara also served as editor and publisher of the first electronically delivered education newsletter\, the Daily Report Card. She earned an EdM at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education and launched her career as a middle school language arts teacher. \nJoin the Personalized Learning for All community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nDigital Promise was created with the mission to accelerate innovation in education to improve opportunities to learn. \nThe fourth installment in Digital Promise Global’s Making Learning Personal For All series\, Policies and Practices that Meet Learners Where They Are highlights the promise of personalized learning to meet the needs of the full diversity of learners. It also examines policy actions and investments that district\, state\, and federal and national levels can take to help each learner master content and a broad range of skills. It makes clear that personalization must consider the whole child\, put learner voice and choice front and center\, and be built on the learning sciences.

SUMMARY:Differentiate Your Teaching for ESL Students: Sensory Instruction for Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Alex Monceaux\, Associate Director\, Lamar Pathway Program\, Lamar University\nSponsored by VIPKid \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nEach student is unique. How can we better support each student’s individual needs? Including for our ELLs? To do so\, differentiated instruction is a critical approach to understand. \nIn general\, differentiated instruction can take place along four avenues: \n\nContent: Figuring out what a student needs to learn\, and which resources will help him do so\nProcess: Activities that help students make sense of what they learn\nProjects: A way for students to “show what they know”\nLearning environment: How the classroom “feels” and how the class works together.\n\nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Alex Monceaux focuses on the use of multisensory instruction for ESL students. Multisensory instruction can help encourage students\, especially ELLs\, to gather information about a task\, link information to ideas they already know and understand\, solve tasks\, understand relationships between concepts\, and store information for later recall. \nThe session first introduces differentiated instruction and then focuses on the idea of “process” and how these processes shape learning and remembering. After this foundation\, the session illustrates multiple traditional and non-traditional sensory paths to work with students to gather and link information to understand concepts and solve problems. \nThis presentation is of interest to preK-12 teachers and school and district leaders.  \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Alex Monceaux holds degrees in English and modern languages (B.A. and M.A.)\, counseling and human development (M.Ed.)\, and educational leadership\, Ed.D.\, with a concentration in global education. He began teaching K-12 in 1999 and in 2006 began teaching ESOL students at Lamar University in Texas. Since then\, he has offered more than 50 professional development workshops and training sessions to educators from all over the world in South Korea\, Malaysia\, Indonesia\, Thailand\, Spain\, France\, Italy\, UK\, Costa Rica\, and Chile. Currently\, Dr. Monceaux is the associate director\, Lamar Pathway Program at Lamar University where he is responsible for program supervision\, curriculum\, and course crafting. He also teaches courses in the ESOL concentration\, M.Ed. Teacher Leadership Program\, and the ESL Pathway Programs\, as well as courses at Lamar Institute of Technology. \n  \nJoin the Helping ELL/ESL Students Succeed community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nVIPKid is a global education technology company that connects children with the world’s best teachers for real-time online English immersion learning.

SUMMARY:Music-Making Experiences in the Early Childhood Inclusion Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Carol Ann Blank\, Ph.D.\, LCAT\, LPC\, MT-BC\, Manager of Research and Special Needs Services\, Music Together Worldwide\nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nInclusion is more than bringing all learners to the same early childhood early learning environment (individualized development plan)\, preschool and kindergarten (individualized educational plan). Inclusion means structuring learning experiences with many access points to meet students where they are. Embedding music-making experiences in the inclusion classroom takes many forms and serves different purposes. Classroom management (i.e. transitions and rituals)\, social-emotional learning (i.e. self-regulation and peer relationships)\, self-directed play (i.e. creating an accessible music center)\, and academic skills (i.e. pre-literacy and numeracy) can all be supported through the use of the elements of music: melody\, harmony\, and rhythm. And\, observing students in their musical play provides educators valuable information when crafting their students’ learning plans. \nIn this edWebinar\, Carol Ann Blank\, Ph.D.\, LCAT\, LPC\, MT-BC\, Manager of Research and Special Needs Services at Music Together Worldwide\, help educators find ways to create additional access points into learning through the inclusion of songs and chants throughout the school day. Carol looks at music activities and ways to structure your music center that support social development\, language development\, and physical-motor development for ALL children in the early childhood inclusion classroom\, including neurodiverse learners or those with challenging behaviors. You will leave this edWebinar with an understanding of the learning and social benefits of music while gaining some fun musical tools to include all learners in the classroom experience—not only during music time\, but throughout the day\, as well! \nThis session is of particular benefit to educators working with toddlers\, preschoolers\, and kindergartners.  \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nCarol Ann Blank\, LCAT\, LPC\, PhD\, MT-BC earned her doctorate from Drexel University in Philadelphia\, PA. She is responsible for developing training\, materials\, and mentoring for Music Together teachers who work with children with special needs and their families. In addition\, Dr. Blank is the manager of research and special needs services for Music Together Worldwide and teaches Music Together classes for children with special needs. \n  \nJoin the Music in Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n At Music Together\, we understand the importance of music in early childhood—from birth\, in fact. Because the truth is\, most people are born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when they are adults\, if they choose. But first we must learn how to “speak music”—to take the musical instrument we all have\, ourselves\, developing that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make\, our movements\, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of early childhood learning. And that’s what Music Together is all about.

SUMMARY:Fractions in the Real World: Time and Money
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning\, ORIGO Education\nSponsored by ORIGO Education \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nFractions can be a painful topic for students (and their families). Learning about fractions sometimes means funny rules that don’t make sense and work that is not connected to the real world. In reality\, fractions are part of our everyday lives\, even when fractional numbers do not appear. In addition\, EVERYTHING we do in mathematics should make sense\, including fractions. This two-part series of edWebinars highlights fractions in our everyday lives. The January session focuses on time and money\, while the February session will focus on sharing and scaling. \nWhy do students sometimes think there are 15 cents in a quarter or that “quarter past” is 25 minutes after the hour? The language of fractions is tightly connected to the language of time and money. In this session\, Sara Delano Moore\, Ph.D.\, Director of Professional Learning at ORIGO Education\, explores these connections\, including some of the challenges students face and the learning opportunities they provide. Join Sara to explore a variety of models and strategies to help students connect fractions with time and money. \nThis session is of particular benefit to elementary level teachers and school leaders.  \nThis edWebinar is part of the Fractions in the Real World\n Series:\nFractions in the Real World: Time and Money\nFractions in the Real World: Sharing and Scaling \nAbout the Presenter\nSara Delano Moore\, Ph.D. is the director of professional learning at ORIGO Education and a contributing author to Visible Learning for Mathematics.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Preventing Suspensions and Expulsions
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Keith L. Pentz\, National Early Childhood Specialist\, Kaplan Early Learning Company\nSponsored by Kaplan Early Learning \nThis edWebinar has been canceled. We do our best to try to avoid schedule changes\, but sometimes it’s unavoidable. We apologize for the inconvenience. \nExpulsions are not the answer to a child’s behavior or issues that occur within an early childhood learning environment. Young children are placed within a learning community that should support\, encourage\, and enhance a child’s uniqueness and the gifts each child brings into a classroom. The teachers and other adults in a program should serve as facilitators of learning by modeling\, guiding\, supervising\, providing experiences\, and offering high challenges and low threats. Often-overlooked components of a child’s history can create a breakdown in communication and relationships. The environment itself may trigger unexpected consequences. Inappropriate behaviors frequently stem from inappropriate expectations. Understanding child development and the continuum for achieving milestones and objectives is critical. \nThis edWebinar is designed to examine numerous factors that may influence how a child responds in the learning environment\, along with a variety of strategies to intervene as necessary and most definitely prevent behaviors deemed unacceptable. The best classrooms are always unique and reflect the wonder of all parts coming together to create something remarkable. To take away a part diminishes the whole. Embrace the possibilities—no more expulsions! \nThis session will be of particular benefit to preK teachers and school and district leaders\, as well as mental health or guidance counselors\, and family care providers. There will be time to get your questions answered at the end of the presentation. \nAbout the Presenter \nKeith L. Pentz\, National Early Childhood Specialist for Kaplan Early Learning Company\, has been in the field of education for almost 39 years. Keith began his career by working in childcare with infants and toddlers. Later\, he taught kindergarten and elementary students. Keith spent the remainder of his classroom time teaching pre-kindergarten and working specifically with low socio-economic and diverse families as well as inclusion students. Following his experiences in the classroom\, Keith moved on to teach at the University of Central Florida in Orlando\, Florida\, and also became an assistant professor of early childhood education at Gordon College in Wenham\, Massachusetts. \nTo participate in the live edWebinar\, log in with current version of Google Chrome or install the meeting app prior to the edWebinar on your computer\, your Apple device\, or Android device.  If you have a firewall in your location\, you can participate on your mobile device using your cellular data (not your local network). \nThe edWebinar recording will be posted to this page the day after the presentation. \nJoin the Classroom Management for Early Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\n Kaplan Early Learning Company is a leading international provider of products and services that enhance children’s learning. \n
