Teacher Education Playground: Lead and Advocate With the ISTE Standards

Purpose & objective

The playground will be focused on multiple ISTE standards and tie into the year theme of the Teacher Education Network. Throughout the year, TEN is looking toward the future of learning and how to best prepare new educators as well as provide resources for current educators, to implement emerging technologies and focus on new trends in education.
We will have stations where presenters are sharing different apps, connecting pedagogy with digital tools to enhance instruction. There will be ideas shared for using AR/VR, availability of Assistive tech (like Microsoft Translator and others) to support all the standards.
Creation of engaging activities and resources for educators, whether classroom teachers, coaches, administrators, preservice teachers, many new ideas will be shared.

Outline

We will have each of the TEN presenters/members grouped into the playground areas by topics stemming from our monthly themes this year. Content will be based on our themes:
Digital Citizen Advocate & Connected Learner
Digital Age Learning Environments: Connecting Research and Practice
Transformative Leader: Preparing for the Future
Visionary Leadership
Equity and Citizenship Advocate
Professional Development and Program Evaluation
Teaching, Learning and Assessments
Empowering Leaders
There will be different presenters rotating through stations and also one section for live discussions or demonstrations. Generally, each station will change every hour, but some topics will repeat so that audience members can spend adequate time at each station. All stations will include peer-to-peer interactions and many will include device-based activities.
