4 p.m.: Social-Emotional Learning with Children’s Books
Teachers and students are struggling with the changes in our world during the pandemic. Before a child can learn or a teacher teaches, each individual must feel safe and centered. But how can teachers make space for this in the classroom and feel comfortable in delivering social and emotional learning (SEL) experiences? FableVision Learning has developed a unique approach by aligning FableVision founder Peter H Reynolds’s books with CASEL’s framework. Peter’s books speak to the hearts of educators around the world and provide a comforting in-road to engaging with important SEL topics in the classroom. This SEL session will help you activate student understanding of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. You will learn which books can help you discuss which SEL topics and leave with some practical activities to take into the classroom. And don’t miss Peter’s keynote on Saturday!

Noon: Digital Storytelling through Animation
Have you ever thought of expanding the power of story using another medium other than writing? Digital animation is an exquisite tool for students to express themselves, feel the excitement of seeing their stories come to life and learn a discrete communication tool. At the session, you will have the opportunity to use a storyboard template and actually animate a message yourself using Animation-ish software, designed by Peter H. Reynolds (see his keynote presentation on Saturday morning). During this time of pandemic, you can discover how animation can be a powerful remote tool for students to share how they feel as well.

Do I really need to understand computational thinking? Do my students?

The best computational thinking learning experiences helps students learn and practice these strategies while building creative skills like persistence, embracing ambiguity, and curiosity. In this session, you will learn what computational thinking is, why it is important and see one research based remote tool that will have students flying.
