Session description

Are you a teacher who only sees students for 40 minutes and struggles fitting everything in? You'll learn how to start your class on time and share the content with students within the first 10 minutes of class using Eduprotocols and resources like Flip and Edpuzzle.

Purpose & objective

Purpose:
The purpose of this workshop is for participants to understand how they can teach Computer Science terminology and concepts within the first 10 minutes of class leaving 30 minutes for students to participate in the project and apply their understanding of what they have learned.

Participants will know how to immediately bring Eduprotocols and other "do nows" into their classroom to build community and teach a concept.

Specialists who have a 40 min block and than go to another classroom will learn how to use these to create a stronger classroom environment and use the beginning of the class efficiently to maximize the learning and increase the participation of students.

This is just a list of some of the tools that will be mentioned.
Eduprotocol,
Flip,
Edpuzzle,
Flocabulary,
Blooket,
Google Slides
PowerPoint
Youtube

We have personally seen the success of using these protocols in our classroom. I currently use them daily in a 6th grade class and sprinkle them into other grades pre K-5. I will be using them daily for grades 6-8. My co presenter uses them specifically with K-5.
