SUMMARY:Supporting Preschoolers' Brain Development through Engaging Music Activities

Levinowitz\, Ph.D.\, Professor Emeritus of Music Education at Rowan University and Director of Research for Music Together Worldwide\nSponsored by Music Together \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Music in Early Learning community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nResearch continues to emphasize how important the first five years of a child’s life are for brain development. Active music-making can be an easy and enjoyable way for educators who work with infants\, toddlers\, and preschoolers to support the development of important structural changes\, neurological processes\, and skills during this very active time of brain development. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz shares some recent research in the fields of music and brain development\, review key concepts\, and show attendees new music activities and techniques that can be used to naturally support young children’s brain development—all while having fun! Come away with a deeper understanding of music’s impact on the developing brain and how they can strengthen this impact through specific musical interactions.

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:“Imagine Your Perfect Source”: Strategies for Cultivating Expert Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tasha Bergson-Michelson\, Instructional and Programming Librarian\, Castilleja School\, Palo Alto\, CA\nSponsored by Libraries Unlimited and School Library Connection \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the SLC @ the Forefront community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz.  \nWhy do some people just seem to be naturals at finding information when they need it? Many expert searchers describe “imagining their perfect source” as a key step prior to searching. While some people develop this strategy intuitively—often without even being aware that they are doing it—there is no reason not to cultivate the necessary skills for research success in all our students. \nCome and learn the basics of imagining sources for yourself\, and explore ways to teach our students how to start thinking like expert researchers. In this edWebinar\, Tasha Bergson-Michelson\, Instructional and Programming Librarian at Castilleja School in Palo Alto\, CA\, explores what it means to “imagine a source\,” undertake some basic practice imagining\, and learn how to build queries targeting predicted characteristics of a source. Also learn specific activities that help students flex their predictive imaginations\, and look at some examples of student work.  \nIf you are a librarian teaching information literacy\, or a classroom teacher who asks students to locate their own sources\, watch to investigate a skill that supports lifelong learning and can help students do better quality research in academic or work settings\, or to be savvier consumers in daily life. This recorded session is geared towards librarians and educators working in grade 6 and up\, but grades 3–5 professionals who ask students to find information independently will also benefit. \nAbout the Presenter \nTasha Bergson-Michelson is the instructional and programming librarian for Castilleja School in Palo Alto\, CA. Since 1995\, Tasha has worked in a variety of library settings\, exploring what makes for successful information literacy instruction. Working with 6th–12th graders at Castilleja\, Tasha constantly strives to find new ways to expose students to methods employed by expert researchers. As the search educator at Google\, Tasha wrote an extensive series of Search Education lesson plans\, the Power Searching MOOCs\, and—most importantly—collaborated with other librarians around the world to explore the most effective ways of teaching research skills. Tasha was designated a 2014 Mover & Shaker — Tech Leader by Library Journal. \nJoin the SLC @ the Forefront community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming webinars\, view past edWebinars\, take a quiz to receive a CE certificate for a past edWebinar\, and access free resources.\nWatch the Recording\nLibraries Unlimited is committed to serving libraries by producing library science textbooks\, reference works\, practical handbooks\, and professional guides of unparalleled quality. \n

Maxwell. On 7 September 1944\, then Technician 5th Grade Maxwell “by his calmness\, tenacity\, and fortitude\, inspired his fellows to continue the unequal struggle” before throwing himself on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers. In this interview\, Mr. Maxwell will discuss his experiences during World War II\, the actions for which he earned the award\, and what he has learned in the 72 years he has worn the Medal of Honor. \nThis edWebinar\, presented by the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation\, is an inspiring learning opportunity for middle and high school students to connect directly with an American hero. Interviews with Medal of Honor Recipients are part of the Medal of Honor Character Development Program\, a free program that helps students build character and promotes responsible citizenship through a deeper understanding of stories of courage and sacrifice.

Maxwell Citation \nFor conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 7 September 1944\, near Besancon\, France. Technician 5th Grade Maxwell and three other soldiers\, armed only with .45-caliber automatic pistols\, defended the battalion observation post against an overwhelming onslaught by enemy infantrymen in approximately platoon strength\, supported by 20-mm flak and machine-gun fire\, who had infiltrated through the battalion’s forward companies and were attacking the observation post with machine-gun\, machine pistol\, and grenade fire at ranges as close as 10 yards. Despite a hail of fire from automatic weapons and grenade launchers\, Technician 5th Grade Maxwell aggressively fought off advancing enemy elements and\, by his calmness\, tenacity\, and fortitude\, inspired his fellows to continue the unequal struggle. When an enemy hand grenade was thrown in the midst of his squad\, Technician 5th Grade Maxwell unhesitatingly hurled himself squarely upon it\, using his blanket and his unprotected body to absorb the full force of the explosion. This act of instantaneous heroism permanently maimed Technican 5th Grade Maxwell\, but saved the lives of his comrades in arms and facilitated maintenance of vital military communications during the temporary withdrawal of the battalion’s forward headquarters. \n  \nHost and Interviewer \nCathy Ehlers Metcalf joined the Medal of Honor Character Development Program as Vice President of Education in 2015 after serving as a Regional Curriculum Trainer. Cathy taught college-level writing for over 33 years in Southern California. Cathy’s father was a World War II Medal of Honor Recipient.

SUMMARY:Digital Collaboration to Support Literacy Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Steven W. Anderson\, Digital Learning and Relationship Evangelist; and Shaelynn Farnsworth\, Education Services Consultant for AEA 267 in Iowa\nSponsored by myON \nWatch the Recording\nIf you attended the live session\, you’ll be emailed a CE certificate within 24 hours of the edWebinar. If you view the recording and would like a CE certificate\, join the Building a Community of Readers community and go to the edWebinar Archives folder to take the CE quiz. \nOne of the most powerful ways students learn is through social and dialogic experiences. From students working in pairs\, small groups\, or whole-class discussions\, constructing knowledge happens best when students work together.
