In this session educators of young children will consider and explore possibilities for transforming learning as students and teachers wonder together:
What is happening beyond the space of our classroom?
What do schools look like for other children?
How can we redesign rituals and routines to include a broader definition of the world?
How do we create safe and beautiful multimedia spaces for children and teachers to connect daily?
The purpose of this presentation is to expose teachers to new ideas for common daily rituals, and the opportunity to rethink and redefine their own experiences. The value in maintaining elements of traditional approaches for these rituals is touched upon, alongside solutions on how to enhance the experiences by including technology integration. Utilizing the SAMR model and supporting research from NAEYC, teachers will explore a variety of options for transforming learning experiences for young children through digital tools. Options are provided for participants by offering the resources to continue their rituals within their own learning environments, and exposing them to the possibilities of taking learning beyond their classroom by collaborating with another class (how to make that happen). Participants will be able to use ideas and resources on a DAILY basis in their learning environments (classroom, hybrid, remote learning).
- Wish You Well, Days of School Counting, and Weather Reporting rituals will be described (about 20 minutes each) in terms of how to facilitate them and which accompanying tools work best when facilitating with children. Personal experiences on behalf of these rituals will also be shared, so that participants can get a sense of the impact that they have had on children in.
- Participants will have access to templates/resources shared, and can explore their own copies of templates (on their own devices as we present) to use in their own learning environments.
