The Kentucky Department of Education’s Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) uses student centered, standards based, project-based learning principles to empower student learning and achievement. STLP provides a means for every student to design, make, connect and learn through technology utilization and creation of original digital content. Established in 1994, STLP has grown to support nearly 280,000 students from member schools across our commonwealth. Each spring, thousands of learners, educators, parents, legislators and community leaders come together to celebrate students "showing what they know" through projects, digital products and technical challenges at the STLP State Championship.

Session description

Kentucky's statewide Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) champions present their winning approach to design, make, connect and learn. See how this exemplar project was built on the ISTE Standards for Students and Kentucky Academic Standards for Technology by giving students voice and choice to "show what they know."

Purpose & objective

STLP State Champion student presenters will share their winning technology infused projects that identified a challenge in their school/community. Having identified technology rich solutions, student leaders worked bring their project plans to life, impacting their world.

STLP Projects are grounded in the ISTE Standards for Students and the Kentucky Academic Standards for Technology. Participants will experience how impactful student choice and voice can be.

The STLP State Champion projects for 2023 will be recognized at the STLP State Championships in April 2023. These projects and their presenters offer exemplars of student-centered learning and have historically been sought after poster sessions at ISTE Conferences dating back over a decade. We at STLP have always appreciated the trust ISTE planners have placed in the Kentucky ISTE Affiliate (KySTE) in choosing and supporting these student teams as representatives of the Kentucky Department of Education.

Outline

Student leaders from the Kentucky Department of Education's Student Technology Leadership Program will share their state championship award winning technology rich projects, taking the audience through the inception, iterations and reiteration of their project idea.

As the best project presentation in the state of Kentucky, these teams will expertly guide the audience through each phase of the STLP project cycle, demonstrating their creations, sharing their research methods and findings, and highlighting the measurable impact their project has had upon their target. Throughout the presentation, STLP champions will pinpoint connections to the ISTE Standards for Students as well as the Kentucky Academic Standards for Technology. Each state champion project team clearly demonstrates how deeper learning can be realized through STLP involvement.

STLP projects are developed throughout the academic year and celebrated at a statewide championship event. Presenting their project at ISTE is the culmination of their championship run as they represent KySTE, their school districts, the KY Department of Education and all of Kentucky at this renowned international education conference.
