Blended Content60-MINUTE SESSION SCHEDULE:
As participants walk in, they will be given a raffle ticket to win some free books at the end of the presentation.
10 minutes—The presenters will be introduced, and the topic of the presentation will be shared. We will also remind them that the GSlide presentation is in the ISTE Bag for them to review later or follow along with now. The presenters will divide up the slides so there isn’t just one person presenting and then another, but it will be random to the participants as we scroll through the slides during the presentation. Additionally, this section of the presentation is designed to engage the audience and provide multiple opportunities for the participants to discuss thoughts and ideas through “think-pair-share” activities.
15 minutes—The GSlides will describe the Triple EEE frameworks for evaluating online information and technology use to discover effective and developmentally appropriate ways to intentionally integrate digital tools into the early childhood classroom. Facilitators will review best practices and research on STEAM, SEL, and 21st-century skills while discussing the 4 C’s and the importance of play to create friendships (Presentation Outcome #1 and #3).The presenters will help participants retain this important research by encouraging them to reflect on the main ideas presented and allow multiple opportunities throughout this section for thoughtful discussions through peer-to-peer interactions.
25 minutes–The participants will choose a book to use based on the annotations provided on the front cover of each social-emotional learning (SEL)-themed book and will be asked to make small groups of two or three participants to work together to create a digital STEAM lesson based on the SEL themed picture books. A QR code will be on the GSlides so they can save their work in a shared folder for all participants to have access to after the conference. Presenters will walk around to facilitate this process. We will use a countdown timer on the presentation screen so everyone knows how much time remains to complete their STEAM and SEL lesson plan (Presentation Outcome #2).
5 minutes - The learner outcomes will be shown on the presentation screen as a form of summarizing and as a simple formative assessment. Participants will be asked to show their hands as we review each presentation outcome. The presenters will encourage participants at this time to reflect on their experience throughout this session and share what they have learned.
5 minutes -A QR code to a personal Exit Ticket will be shown at this time. The presenters will ask if there are any questions and the book will be raffled off.
