The playground will be focused on multiple key issues and tie into the year's theme of the Teacher Education Network: Empowering Students and Teachers in a Changing World. Throughout the year, TEN looked 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. For example, there will be ideas shared for using assistive tech via Microsoft accessibility tools and Google extensions.
Creation of engaging activities and resources for educators, whether classroom teachers, coaches, administrators, preservice teachers, many new ideas will be shared.
In this modified Virtual Playground we will have three sessions with multiple presenters: SEL, Social Justice and Equity, and Student Engagement. The fourth session is called "Connections and Applications." Here is where you can meet the presenters to play with ideas and practice what you have learned.
Topics include:
Accessibility teacher toolkit
The rules of the red rubber ball at school
Fostering connectedness and SEL
Build your own cope cakes!
Online games for student engagement
Integrating Social Justice in Virtual Environments
All stations will include peer-to-peer interactions and chat, and many will include device-based activities.

I’ve been teaching at North Carolina State University for over 25 years, including almost 15 years of teaching online in some form or another. My Ph.D. is in Foundations of Education from UNC Chapel Hill, so I come at technology entirely from the humanities. My research is in the history of education, online teaching and collaboration, and pre-service teacher beliefs. I’ve been on the ISTE TEN leadership team for several years, usually participating heavily in the ISTE TEN Playground. Occasionally, I like to make short class videos using puppets.
