Robin Clayfield is a Permaculture pioneer, educator, facilitator and best-selling author who is passionate about healthy groups, organisations and communities, their structures and governance and most importantly, their facilitation and group dynamics. She presents and consults around the world to support global health, group and personal well-being, and whole systems change through using Permaculture, Social Permaculture, Deep Ecology and her 'Dynamic Groups, Dynamic Learning' methodology. Robin loves Ritual and Ceremony, supporting people to have their own deep experience of nature, cycles and patterns, rites of passage, transformation and celebration. She also loves and nurtures a Permaculture garden and a 1-acre lot at Crystal Waters Ecovillage, where she's lived happily for 35 years. In this conversation, Robin speaks openly about her pioneering days as an activist, her role in social permaculture, and what that looks like in her work and offerings, including a five-part series of books soon to launch. I have personally attended her courses and utilised her practical resources as helpful tools when providing group facilitation and dynamic decision-making services, aswell as at any time I am teaching permaculture. We can thank her for bringing the Spirit Care ethic into join the Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share ethics embodied in the framework of permaculture design. She speaks of Turmeric as her must-have herbal plant. She shares her golden milk recipe and other kitchen witching ways that she regularly utilises plants from her garden, including Moringa, Gotu Kola and Brahmi, Lesser Galangal and her go-to first aid herbs. Plus, a reminder to 'eat your greens' wisely and flavour salads with seasonal herbs for taste and health benefits. We also discuss how rituals and ceremonies play an important part in her life, her annual labyrinth-making installation and how Deep Ecology continues to be a source of inspiration and inclusion in her many course offerings. She reminds us to be grateful for the gifts of nature and kindly permitted me to share her elemental prayer aptly called 'Thank You For The Five Sacred Things'. I hope you enjoy listening to this wise woman as much as I did!

Today's episode features Rafe Kelly and Charles St. John.  Rafe is the owner of Evolve Move Play, and has studied and taught a multitude of movement practices spanning gymnastics, parkour, martial arts, weightlifting, Cross-fit and more for decades.  His passion to is help people build the physical practice that will help make them the strongest, most adaptable and resilient version of themselves in movement and in life.  Charles has been training parkour since 2009, and coaching it since 2012. He carries multiple parkour coaching certifications and is a certified personal trainer for general fitness, while he currently coaches at the APEX Denver Parkour (Apexdenver.com) and Circus facility in Colorado. Motor learning is the worldview by which you keep yourself from over-compartmentalizing elements of a total training program.  It's how you discover the window, or lens by which an athlete acquires mastery in their sport, and also determines how you go about constructing a training session with the “whole” in mind.  It allows one to see the forest from the trees in the process of athletic mastery.  If we only listen to “speed”, “output” and “drill” oriented material, and leave out the actual over-arching process of motor learning in any sort of athletic performance discussion, we end up with a more over-compartmentalized, less sustainable, less effective, and less enjoyable model of training On the podcast today, Rafe and Charles speak in the first half, on games they particularly enjoy from a true “generalist” point of view; games that encapsulate the most essential elements of “human-ness” in movement.  These game principles can be plugged into either general (for the sake of better outputs for the subsequent training session), or specific warmups (for the sake of “donor” learning to the main session).  In the second half, we get into a detailed discussion on dynamic points of learning and coaching, speaking on points of drill vs. holistic approach to skills, frequency of feedback (and types of feedback), working with highly analytical athletes, checking the effectiveness of one's cues, and much more.

Timestamps and Main Points: 4:41 – Why Rafe and Charles love rugby as a multi-dimensional game that encapsulates a lot of human qualities and opportunities 14:12 – “Hybrid” games that coaches like to play as a generalist warmup to a strength training session, and the emergence of “king of the course” 23:21 – How to craft a “donor” activity to prepare for your primary training activity 32:49 – What the balance is, in parkour, on teaching actual technique, vs. decisions 52:08 – How to properly tell stories and frame skills to an athlete, without letting words get in the way 1:02:11 – How many efforts to let an athlete perform, before coaches should seek to intervene in the form of a cue or instruction, and how to help athletes be better self-learners 1:14:34 – Cueing and instructing athletes who may desire more structure than others 1:22:37 – Thoughts on velocity of a movement, and the transferability of drills, or slower versions of skills, versus fast movements 1:27:02 – “Feeding the Error” and principles of variable learning that can assist in skill development 1:32:38 – How to improve learning by reducing potential “fear” constraints in sports with a potential risk element “I would contest that (rugby) is the best designed ball sport… it's the only sport I played that allowed for a range of body types” “Team sports have all of (generalist fitness) demands in them… and you have to do it in a team manner, you have to cooperate with other people”

As a former teacher for nearly a decade I am excited to be joined by Lindsi Shalhoub, a leader in the field of education. Having many years of experience in the classroom, including working with at risk youth, having built intervention programs and chairing committees for students with disabilities, while being a mom of 3, you will not find someone more passionate, well rounded, and open minded to doing whatever it takes to provide the best education experience possible. On today's episode Lindsi provides in depth insight into the home schooling world, as she segued from the public classroom climate to starting her own school for her kids which has expanded to a successful co-op home school community in the capital region. Lindsi debunks the myths of homeschooling, dispels the stigmas, and shares with us the limitless potential of a classroom that is filled with experiential learning and hands on opportunities that has allowed her kids and homeschool community to thrive. Make sure to visit her website https://www.aschooltheyloved.com/ to learn more about homeschooling, for great resources and to connect with Lindsi as well as follow her on social media @aschooltheyloved. As the great Frederick Douglas said, ““It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Certainly education matters and homeschooling is a powerful way for so many children to learn in a classroom setting that allows them to succeed. #ef3life #liftothefullest #learn #educate #teach #homeschool #aschooltheyloved #experientiallearning #growth #classroom #school #community #diversity #educator #relationships #podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dan-jason-ef3/message

James Elfer is Founder of Morethannow, a research practice that applies behavioral science to workplace contexts. Magda is Reader in Experimental Cognitive Psychology, the Alan Turing Research Fellow and Head of Dynamic Learning and Decision Making Lab at Queen Mary University of London. The ethos of her work has been to take a critical eye to well accepted views and challenge the status quo. As a result, her research and writing interests cover a range of areas that include decision-making, learning, problem-solving, biases, risk and uncertainty, agency and control, and the unconscious. Her work also helps to show that methods, such as nudges, designed to improve our decision-making are not reliable, are ethically problematic, and that the public have concerns about them, especially if the nudges are designed by government bodies compared to scientists.

In this bonus follow-up interview, Gene Kim and Dr. Steve Spear dig into what makes for great leadership today, including the importance of distributed decision-making and problem-solving. They showcase the real advantages of allowing more decisions to be made by the people closest to the work, who are the most suited to solve them.   Dr. Spear also shares his personal accounts of the honorable Paul O’Neill, the late CEO of Alcoa who built an incredible culture of safety and performance during his tenure. And Kim and Spear dive deeper into the structure and dynamics of the famous MIT beer game.   ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Steve Spear (DBA MS MS) is principal for HVE LLC, the award-winning author of The High Velocity Edge, and patent holder for the See to Solve Real Time Alert System.  A Senior Lecturer at MIT’s Sloan School and a Senior Fellow at the Institute, Spear’s work focuses on accelerating learning dynamics within organizations so they know better faster what to do and how to do it. This has been informed and tested in practice in multiple “verticals” including heavy industry, high tech design, biopharm R&D, healthcare delivery and other social services, Army rapid equipping, and Navy readiness.   High velocity learning concepts became the basis of the Alcoa Business System—which led to 100s of millions in recurring savings, the Pittsburgh Regional Healthcare Initiatives “Perfecting Patient Care System”—credited with sharp reductions in complications like MRSA and CLABs, Pratt & Whitney’s “Engineering Standard Work”—which when piloted led to winning the engine contract for the Joint Strike Fighter, the operating system for Detroit Edison, and the Navy’s high velocity learning line of effort—an initiative led by the Chief of Naval Operations. A pilot with a pharma company cut the time for the ‘hit to lead’ phase in early stage drug discovery from twelve months to six. Spear has published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Academic Medicine, Health Services Research, Harvard Business Review, Academic Administrator, and the US Naval Institute’s Proceedings He invented the patented See to Solve Real Time Alert System and is principal investigator for new research on making critical decisions when faced with hostile data.  He’s supervised more than 40 theses and dissertations.

Access the full show notes and blog post here. Accessibility is and should be a huge topic of discussion across multiple industries but especially in learning. I’m going to give you tips, tricks, and resources to help use Google accessibility tools to reach all learners. Let’s get shakin’ y’all. Shoutout Sarah Kiefer recently wrote a wonderful review of the Dynamic Learning with Google podcast series. (Episodes 44-47 - You can find them here!) I appreciate the review so much. Go check out her blog, My Brain Can’t Hold It All. Do you have a question or idea to share on the podcast? Leave me a message here. Quick Tip of the Week In any Google Doc, use the keyboard shortcut, Control + Shift + 8 (Command + Shift + 8 on a Mac), to add a bullet to your document. This keyboard shortcut is amazing if you need to add bullet points quickly to a doc. Accessibility Tools with Google I did a ton of research before deciding to chat about this topic today because I wanted to put together the best resources for you.  Check out Google’s Accessibility page here for a very comprehensive list of features broken down by application. Also, keep in mind that Android devices have built-in accessibility features as well. Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts are not just time savers; they are also accessibility features for students and teachers. If any of your students are unable to use a mouse, then these are imperative.  CTRL + T will open a new tab in your browser CTRL + (1-8) will toggle to that corresponding tab within your browser. For instance, if you have 8 tabs open, CTRL + 6 will go to the 6th tab.  CTRL + 9 will take you to the last tab that you have open. CTRL + Shift + T will reopen a closed tab. CTRL + W will close a tab. ALT + F + X will completely close Google Chrome. (Cmd + Q on a Mac) CTRL + +/- will zoom in and out on your browser.  (Use CMD instead of CTRL on a Mac) Check out a full list of Chrome keyboard shortcuts here! For all the shortcuts you can use to zoom in and out and change text, image, and video sizes, use this resource.  Why You May Need High Contrast Colors Some students may benefit from high-contrast colors rather than the regular settings we get with every browser. Some students can focus more easily when the background is black with white text rather than vice versa. Darker backgrounds are also easier on the eyes for everyone.  There’s a Chrome extension you can use to change the color schemes for all webpages. You can find the extension here, but be sure to follow your school policies regarding installing extensions. Text to Speech (Reading with Your Ears) Some of the most useful extensions will read the text on the screen out loud to your students. These extensions help younger students learn how to read, but is also helpful for students who have dyslexia or other learning difficulties.  One of my favorite Chrome extensions is Read & Write for Google Chrome. I shared a post on this extension a while back that you can read here, but essentially you install a toolbar, and then any webpage you visit can be read out loud to you.  This tool is a fabulous accessibility feature to help all types of readers. You can change the voice, the speed, and it has a translation feature as well.  Two more Chrome extensions that will read text from the screen are Speak It and Announcify. I shared these in a previous post about supporting struggling readers.  With Speak It, you highlight what you want to hear, and it will read that section out loud with just a couple of clicks.  Another favorite is Announcify because it does more than just read what is on the screen. It will open in a new page, and then it will blur out anything that is not being read. This is great for limiting distractions.  Speech to Text (Dictation) Essentially speech to text is considered dictation, but this feature is so helpful to many different types of learners. Many apps and devices now have voice recognition built into their interfaces, making dictation much more accurate than it has been in the past. Even if you don’t need speech to text for an accommodation, many of us talk faster than we type, so this can be a huge time saver.  The first resource I want to talk about is dictation.io. This is not an extension but instead a Chrome app. You click on the microphone and start speaking, and your words are shown on the notepad. The Voice Note II Chrome extension is another fantastic tool that opens a new clean window with a microphone in the top right. You click the microphone and start talking, and when you stop, your words are there. Both of these tools allow you to then copy, paste, tweet, email, message, etc. the words that you’ve spoken. If you’d like additional Chrome extensions and tools along with explanations of them, check out my Chrome Database.  You can also watch this video that has additional information on Chrome and Chrome OS Accessibility. Chrome OS & Chromebooks The Chrome OS on Chromebook has several accessibility features built into the device so that you won’t need additional tools. I’ve listed a few resources below to help you familiarize yourself with the built-in tools. Chromebook accessibility help ChromeVox - Built-in screen reader On-screen keyboard (with microphone option)  Chromebook keyboard shortcuts Accessibility Tools in Google Docs First off, I cannot say enough for having a full understanding of keyboard shortcuts. You can find a list of shortcuts specific to Docs here, but understanding these shortcuts and being able to share them with your students is unbelievably helpful. Google Docs also has built-in voice typing. You can find it under Tools > Voice Typing. It works very similarly to the apps and extensions mentioned above, but it allows you to talk your work directly into your document. You can also dictate your formatting options as well, like bold, italicize, etc. Here are 7 reasons you need to try voice typing in Google Docs.  There is also an entire suite of accessibility settings directly within Docs. If you want to see the comprehensive list, go here. But this is where you turn on things for screen reader support, collaborator announcements, a screen magnifier, and others. You can find these options and settings in Tools as well. Final Thoughts When you’re creating a visual for a website or page, don’t forget to create pertinent alt-text. The alt-text allows you to put in a title and description. Most of the alt-text that you see on websites is the random name someone used to name the picture for their computer. Take the time to create meaningful titles for those students who aren’t able to process busy webpages.  Insert your image, right-click, and select alt-text to update it. This will also give a screen reader a way to describe the image in text to speech tools.  Another way to make your documents more accessible is to use the commenting and suggestions function. Screen readers can jump specifically to those comments rather than jumbling up the text on the page. One last thought about formatting. Screen readers do not acknowledge bold, italicized, and underlined words. Instead, if something is important, type “important” before the upcoming sentence. Additionally, use numbered lists instead of bullet points to better distinguish the order of importance in your documents. Also, start using headings rather than simply increasing your font size.

Before we start today’s show, we wanted to make a quick announcement. The podcast is undergoing a name change. It’s a small one, but an important one. We’ve decided to shorten the show’s name to be called the Google Teacher Podcast. We’ve heard from several of you that there are problems with including the word “tribe” in the name of the show.

Quick Tip of the Week In Google Chrome, use Incognito mode to check that your public links are accessible and shared correctly. Incognito is a unique browser window that will not automatically log you into any accounts. In Chrome, click on the 3 dots > select New Incognito Window. (Also works on mobile.) Or use the keyboard shortcut: Control + Shift + N (PC and Chromebook) Command + Shift + N (Mac) I use this trick to check my links to Google files, Google Sites, and other links I share with the outside world. Check all the links you post for parents, or share outside of your classroom. (Here are 8 Awesome Reasons to Go Incognito.) Dynamic Learning with Google (Part 3) In part four, we are moving on to our last two characteristics in the Dynamic Learning Framework, Beyond the Walls, and Beyond the Due Date. Dynamic Learning is at the heart of my book, Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic. Google is NOT a magic solution, but it allows us to create Dynamic Learning experiences for our students. If you missed parts 1-3, be sure to go back to episode 44 so you will get the big picture of how this all fits together! We are going to talk about classroom strategies to help you give students a global audience for their work, meaningful connections with outside classrooms and experts, and how student portfolios can support student learning even after it has been assessed. Get the FREE Dynamic Learning with Google Toolkit Fill out the form on this page to get access to the toolkit. Beyond the Walls I want you to think about both sides of the walls of your classroom. Bring the world to your students, and bring your students to the world! Every student in every grade should have opportunities to connect and learn globally as well as publish their work for a global and intentional audience. Beyond the Walls with Publishing Student Work for an Expanded Audience Do you give your students an audience for their work? I had an eye-opening experience with my own students many years ago. Something magical happened when I had them publish their writing online where others could read and comment. Suddenly, my students wanted to revise and improve their work. Their words will continue to echo in my head, “Can I revise mine? I didn’t know anyone would read it besides you.” Arrow to my heart! Yes, we love to believe that as teachers, we are our students' favorite audience, but that gets old and tired, and frankly is about as inauthentic as it gets. Students can and should get feedback from others that are outside of their immediate classroom. Before you freak out about privacy and safety, let me say that these strategies can be accomplished without any risks to privacy or safety. We do not need to share student names or faces to give them an audience for their work. We can also take this in baby steps. Consider sharing student work in small steps and working up to a global audience. I like to refer to this as an expanded audience. Share with a classroom on the same campus Share with a classroom on another campus in your district or region Share with a classroom in another state Share with a classroom in another country Share globally and publicly It doesn't have to be a perfect audience to see the impact this will have on the quality of work you receive from your students. So how can Google tools support online publishing? Most Google applications allow us to share with specific individuals or with a special link. Keep in mind, just because you have made a Google Doc public doesn’t mean anyone will find it. It’s more important that we think purposely about how to share and who to share it with. My favorite method for sharing student work is on a Google Site or a Blogger blog. Google Sites makes it easy to embed just about any of our student’s Google-created projects. However, it doesn’t have a native commenting feature that can really take things to the next level. That’s where I give Blogger the edge. Blogger is a traditional blogging platform that allows for comment. With a blog post, we can share student work and collect feedback from other students, parents, or experts in the field of study. Comments will take things to the next level, a superpower in publishing! For students under 13, this should be managed by the teacher on a teacher blog. Over 13 students should be given their own space (monitored and assessed) to share their work, their reflections on learning, and respond to feedback. Remember, the focus of this post is about using Google tools, but there are hundreds of other tools from which to choose. Again, we don't have to share names or faces to give students a new audience for their work. In fact, using pen names can be a fun twist, especially for younger students. But our older, secondary students need to be able to share and take claim to their accomplishments. They will be Googled before they are interviewed for their first job or when they apply to college. I want these searches to reflect what students have learned and created, not their latest Tik Tok video. YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world and can be a great place to showcase student work and get feedback. But one big drawback is the junk that exists on YouTube, and the trolls who leave irrelevant comments. However, I have seen many schools create a campus or classroom YouTube channel sharing student work with great success. Don't count it out just yet. Just be purposeful, mindful, and teach your students how to manage this world. They will need those digital citizenship skills! (See also Every Student Should Publish for the World.) Beyond the Walls with Global Connections Let's explore ways to bring the world into our classrooms! Google tools naturally fit into this equation. When it comes to bringing in outside authors, experts, virtual tours, or even connecting to other classrooms, Google Hangouts Meet makes this a breeze. These experiences should be teacher-led to ensure the activity is safe and purposeful. No matter what you are studying in your classroom, there is probably an outside connection that you can make to enrich this experience. And guess what? The experts and authors that we often think are unreachable are actually reachable! In this connected world, most people have an online presence or social account. All you have to do is ask! These connections do not require any funding, permission forms, yellow busses, or any fancy equipment. All you need is an internet connection and a device with a camera. Mystery Hangouts are particularly great for elementary grade levels. In a Mystery Hangout, your classroom will video chat with another classroom located in another region, state, or country. Using questioning skills and context clues, students must figure out where the other class is located. These are super fun! Beyond the Due Date I know this sounds scary, but I promise it isn't! Consider allowing students to continue the work that interests them beyond the final assessment of the assignment or task. Thinking, learning, and exploring shouldn't be stifled simply because it was time to turn it in. When we see students showing sparks of interest in a project--when they don't want to stop learning--we must capitalize on these moments! Often, the act of turning in an assignment can stifle their passion, learning, and creativity. Think about those sparks in your classroom, ask them about it, encourage them, coach them. Let me be clear. This strategy is not about giving students extra time to finish assignments. That’s a discussion for another day. This is about seizing opportunities! Don’t you wish every student was excited to learn? The other thing to know about this Dynamic Learning characteristic is it is rarely something that is the complete focus of your lesson, but it can easily be embedded in PBL, especially Genius Hour. It is more about capitalizing on the learning sparks we find in our students. Beyond the Due Date with Student Portfolios Portfolios are great for showcasing student work and growth over time, but they can also be a fantastic way for students to document and reflect on their interests and passions. Google Sites is the perfect tool for student portfolios. As I mentioned earlier, Google Sites makes it super easy to embed work created in other Google applications, like Docs, Slides, Sheets, and more. Check out this post on How to Create Powerful Student ePortfolios with Google Sites, by Mike Mohammed. Blogger is also a great choice for teachers to manage portfolios or from students 13 and older to manage their own. Another favorite tool is Google Slides! Slides is probably the most flexible tool in G Suite. But it doesn't allow embedding like Sites and Blogger. A student interest portfolio should definitely go beyond one and done, and be a long term project. It’s the perfect project for students who finish early, have extra time, or need enrichment. But it’s even better for students that need time and encouragement to find what they love. Beyond the Due Date with Mentorship and Coaching Once we have identified those sparks in our students, we can take on the role of a coach or mentor. One of the best ways to cultivate passions within our students is through coaching and mentoring. This may come directly from the teacher where appropriate. When we find out what interests our students, we can talk about it. This might be a few seconds in the hallway to check-in, build that relations, and fan the flame of that learning spark. For instance, I may ask a student if they read the book I recommended, visited a website I shared or connected with a student with the same interest. We can continue to share resources to help the student take their learning further. Just encouraging students and helping them find their passions can be a game-changer for many kiddos. Building these relationships with your students will help them find things that interest them, not just what adults tell them they should be interested in. How Will You Shake Up Learning?

Dynamic Learning with Google (Part 3) In part two, we are moving on to our next characteristic in the Dynamic Learning Framework, Beyond the Grade Level and Subject Area. Dynamic Learning is at the heart of my book, Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning from Static to Dynamic. We are going to talk about three classroom strategies to help you go Beyond the Tool, student choice, choice boards, and Project Based Learning. Then we will look at which Google tools can help support these strategies in the classroom. Get the FREE Dynamic Learning with Google Toolkit Fill out the form here. to get access to the toolkit designed to go with this podcast series. In this Google Sheet, you will see how the Dynamic Learning characteristics align with classroom strategies and a list of recommended Google tools to help you do it! Beyond the Grade Level and Subject Area Let's take kids off the conveyor belt of education and give them opportunities to learn about the things that interest them beyond the subject areas we teach and even beyond what it says they should learn in each grade level. Learning doesn't have to fit inside a box. I know this can sound impossible but stay with me here. Students need opportunities to explore their own passions and interests that go beyond what exists inside a prescribed curriculum. This doesn’t mean you have to teach more concepts; this means that we find ways to give students opportunities to make decisions and choose topics and projects that interest them. Beyond the Grade Level and Subject Area with Student Choice Student choice is the number one way we can help students find and explore their own interests. Whether that means giving them a choice of reading, choice of project or research topic, or a choice in how they demonstrate their learning--all paths will help build decision-makers and problem solvers! To be clear, this doesn’t mean free reign. Most students cannot handle a fully open choice, but if we begin by giving them two or three options, we can baby step it to bigger decisions and choices. It truly saddens me to see students who graduate high school without one clue about their own genuine interests. And I see this happen year after year. Ways to Give Student’s Choice Choice of reading Choice of project topic Choice of research topic Choice of device Choice of tool(s) If you are not already giving students choice in your classroom, begin to look for those opportunities in your lessons. Beyond the Grade Level and Subject Area with Choice Boards Choice boards have been a long-time favorite of mine. They completely transformed my classroom and helped me to stop being such a control freak. You can call these learning menus or choice boards, these words are interchangeable, offer a simple set of activities from which students can choose. These can be a simple list, or they can take more creative forms like a tic-tac-toe or the style of a restaurant menu. One of the most popular posts on this blog is all about using G Suite to create interactive choice boards. In this post, you will find free templates and ideas for your classroom. I have also created a special choice board for integrating the 4 C's. Grab a copy here. For a more in-depth look at choice boards, check out The Teacher’s Guide to Choice Boards. Beyond the Grade Level and Subject Area with PBL Project Based Learning, PBL, opens up a world of possibilities for our students. Whether you are doing authentic PBL or jumping into something like Genius Hour, Google tools can help your students reach their goals. What exactly is PBL? “Students work on a project over an extended period of time – from a week up to a semester – that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills. Project Based Learning unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers.” - PBL Works PBL is all about moving beyond the inauthentic, one-and-done daily lessons and activities that never connect. Google tools can help support PBL throughout the entire process: Planning and research with Google Search Recording information and writing with Google Docs Collecting data with Google Forms Analyzing data with Google Sheets Managing time with Google Keep and Google Calendar Documenting experiments and processes with Google Photos and Video Presenting final projects with Google Slides or Google Sites Podcast Question of the Week How do you give students opportunities to explore their own interests in your classroom?

In part two, we are moving on to our next characteristic in the Dynamic Learning Framework, Beyond the Tool(s). We are going to talk about three classroom strategies to help you go Beyond the Tool, storytelling, research, and data. Then we will look at which Google tools can help support these strategies in the classroom. Get the FREE Dynamic Learning with Google Toolkit Fill out the form here to get access to the toolkit designed to go with this podcast series. In this Google Sheet, you will see how the Dynamic Learning characteristics align with classroom strategies and a list of recommended Google tools to help you do it! Beyond the Tool(s) Think beyond using digital tools to do traditional things, like typing a paper. Use digital tools to do NEW things! Just going paperless or digital isn't enough, use tools to go further, deeper and extend the learning, and consider using tools in alternative ways--beyond their original purpose.  Reach beyond what you think a digital tool can do.  I prefer to think of technology integration like a continuum where we progress from one end to the other. Most teachers begin by using technology at the substitution level, and that’s OKAY! But we also want to find opportunities to make the most out of the opportunities that technology gives us and find ways to use digital tools to do NEW THINGS! For instance, Google Slides is one of the most versatile tools in G Suite. In fact, I like to call it the “Swiss Army Knife of G Suite” because it offers so many ways for students to create and do new things! But when we are talking about using digital tools in the classroom, remember there are two sides to this coin. One, there is the consumption side of digital tools--using tools to find information. Two is the creation side of digital tools--giving students opportunities to create original products. In order to be purposeful in this process, I don’t want to break this down by tool and risk allowing the tools to drive the learning. We will approach it by activity. Keep in mind that even though we are discussing each dynamic learning characteristic separately (the “Beyonds”), they do not have to exist in a silo. You can include as many characteristics as you like as long as it helps your students reach their learning goals. Beyond the Tool with Storytelling We all have stories to tell in the classroom. Whether it’s an original story, perhaps a narrative or expository piece of writing, or telling stories with images and video. We can retell events in our words; we can change perspectives, we can invent and create. Most of all, we need to see our students as storytellers! Stories can be told at just about any grade level or subject area. Kindergartners can create picture books or alphabet books. P.E. students can explain health concepts, exercises, or rules of a sport. History students can retell a historical event. Language arts students can retell a story or novel from a different perspective. Science students can explain the steps in their experiment. Seriously, every classroom has the opportunity to tell stories. Using Google Docs, students can not only use docs to compose their writing, but they can make the experience more dynamic by using the explore tool to research and synthesize information online and from their Google Drive. (See all 5 Ways to Use the Explore Tool.) Students may also be using features native to Google Docs that help them through the writing process--something you won’t find on your piece of paper--like spelling and grammar check, feedback from the teacher and peers with comments and suggested edits, or saving different versions in version history. Or you can take things a step further and incorporate add-ons like Kaizena to leave voice comments. Anything that helps students better engage, create, and collaborate is going BEYOND, and therefore, part of a dynamic learning experience. Stories can also be told more visually using tools like Google Slides. Students can create eBooks, individually or collaboratively. Add some interactive links to create a Choose Your Own Adventure story! With the new addition of audio in Google Slides, students can add background music to set the tone for their stories, or narrate. I have a ton of Google Slides resources and podcast episodes that cover this very topic! How to Create Drag and Drop Activities with Google Slides 25 Things You Didn’t Know Google Slides Could Do The Google Slides Master Class Google Slides Can Do What?!?!- GTT018 12 Google Slides Resources That Will Make Your Day 25 Ways to Use Audio in Google Slides Projects Comic strips are one of my favorite integration strategies, and these are super easy in Google Slides or Drawings. In fact, there’s a fantastic lesson from my book by Sylvia Duckworth, where she shares step-by-step how to do this. Kick things up a notch with Google Photos where you can save photos and videos taken by students, even create quick videos to tell your story. Beyond the Tool with Research I think back to the days when we had to do all of our research in the library with index cards and the good old’ Dewey Decimal System. The reality of research in the twenty-first century looks much different with information at our fingertips; it may seem easier, but completely overwhelming! Google Search is the largest search engine in the world! But are you teaching your students how to use it properly, how to filter out the junk, how to use advanced searches to find the most relevant information? Google Search Education is a great place to find free resources and to help your students become better searchers. Let’s not forget the lesser-known search engines from Google, like Google Scholar. Google Scholar is a searchable database of scholarly literature, including a variety of formats like books, journals, etc. Secondary students can use Google Scholar to find credible resources for their research projects. Google Books offers students a place to access and read books and magazines, cite sources, translate sources, and even set up alerts for specific topics. Google Books is a great companion tool for secondary student research. Of course, Google Docs is an obvious choice for writing a research paper. Still, we can make things more dynamic by taking advantage of the collaboration features, using the EasyBib add-on to create a bibliography, or using voice typing to dictate into the document.  Beyond the Tool with Data We live in a world that is now inundated with data! Data is quickly becoming an important component of every job and business. Giving students the tools to gather and analyze data is a must! Google Forms and Sheets are two apps that I like to think of as a couple! They work hand-in-hand together.  Use Google Forms to collect data, then use Google Sheets to analyze your results.  Yes, even primary teachers can give students experience with data! Data doesn’t have to be complicated. We can break it down into important, bite-size pieces.  Consider giving the little ones a teacher-assisted survey with images where they select their favorite color or food. Then use Google Sheets to create a simple chart and talk to students about what it means. These conversations will set them up for success as they grow. Secondary students should be creating their own forms and analyzing their own data. Google Forms isn’t just a teacher tool! We need students to learn this tool and how it can help them get information. How is this dynamic? Remember, dynamic learning is all about going BEYOND what was previously possible. One of the reasons that data has become so important is because it is so much easier to gather with technology. Data that used to take us years to compile and process is now available in seconds. Don’t forget the importance of analyzing data. Google Sheets it the number one feared Google tool. I promise it’s not scary. Just learning some basics like sorting, filtering, and using formulas to tally or average your numbers is a great start.

Dynamic Learning is at the heart of my book, Shake Up Learning: Practical Ideas to Move Learning From Static to Dynamic. It’s my passion. It’s my blood, my sweat, and frankly, a lot of tears! I want to help teachers like you to Shake Up Learning. Shoutout Thank you to Ashley Brown for leaving us a question about badges. Do you have a question or idea to share on the podcast? Leave me a message here. Dynamic Learning with Google You can dive deeper into Dynamic Learning by listening to the first five episodes of the Shake Up Learning Show. This binge-worthy series on meaningful technology integration was the kick-off to my podcast and will give you a detailed look at the Dynamic Learning Model and Framework. Top 20 Tech Tips for Teachers The 4 C’s: The Superfoods of Learning A Framework for Meaningful Technology Integration Easy Lesson Plan Makeovers for Your Classroom How to Plan for Technology Integration I would also like to personally invite you to join one of the Shake Up Learning book studies that we conduct throughout the year. You can find the latest information and schedule on this page: shakeuplearning.com/bookstudy. What is Dynamic Learning? Dynamic Learning is characterized by constant change and activity. This learning takes place organically, growing and evolving through more unconventional means, with the learner collaborating, creating, and communicating to demonstrate progress and mastery. Dynamic Learning also extends beyond the boundaries of a traditional school day, beyond the physical location of the classroom, beyond using tools as digital substitutes, or even the traditional notion of hard-and-fast due dates. The Dynamic Learning Characteristics When you think DYNAMIC, I want you to think BEYOND! (Read full definitions here.) BEYOND the Bell: a lifelong learning mindset for students. BEYOND the Grade Level and Subject Area: helping students tap into passions and interests that are outside the given curriculum. BEYOND the Walls: publishing student work for a global audience, and bringing in global connections and collaborations. BEYOND the Tools: using digital tools to do new things. BEYOND the Due Date: mentoring and coaching students to continue learning even after the project has been assessed. If the Internet is down, and you have to change your digital lesson to pencil and paper, the lesson should invariably lose something. Meaning, if your lesson is using technology in a dynamic way, it just can’t be replicated on paper. The Dynamic Learning Framework You can download a printable PDF version of the graphic here. Using Google Tools to Support Dynamic Learning So how does Google come into play? Well, Google and G Suite for Education offers educators and students many tools that will support the Dynamic Learning Framework. Remember, this is not about Google--not about getting carried away by shiny tools, but about how we can use these tools to support learning. There are many lesson plans available in the Shake Up Learning book, as well as my online database of shared lesson plans, and most involve some sort of Google tool. But today, I want to share with you some quick wins, easy tips to help you see the reality of Dynamic Learning in your classroom. Get the FREE Dynamic Learning with Google Toolkit Fill out the form below to get access to the toolkit designed to go with this podcast series. Beyond the Bell Learning doesn't have to end when the bell rings. With digital tools and devices that are available 24/7, students can continue to learn, collaborate, grow, and dig deeper into their learning on their own terms. This doesn't mean homework. This is a mindset for students that means learning can take place anytime, anywhere, and students can own it. Beyond the bell is a lifelong learning mindset for students. Please don’t assume this one simply means doing things after the bell rings! It’s much more than that. We want students to recognize learning, know how to seek out their own learning, and have a growth mindset. Google tools can help support this mindset in many ways.  Beyond the Bell with Goal Setting Goal setting is a research-based strategy that is common among adults, but it’s something we should instill in our students at an early age. We want students not only to understand and reach the learning goals we set in the classroom but also set their own goals. This is where it gets personal. Goals setting with students will allow you to get to know them and cultivate relationships. But this doesn’t have to be complicated. Even the little ones can set mini-goals. For instance, ask them, “What’s one thing that would make today great?” Or “What will make you smile today?” With the older students, it is important that we don’t tie grades to a goal. What I mean by that is that grades are often reflective of many other things like turning in late work, etc. Associate the goal with the learning! What is it they will know or be able to do when they reach this goal?  We can use many different Google tools for goal setting. Google Keep is a favorite of mine. It’s an easy way to document goals and revisit them on a regular basis. You could also track goals in Docs or a fancy Google Sheet. The point is to articulate goals on a regular timeline and to revisit every one to three weeks, so you don’t lose sight. Vision boards are a visual way to imagine reaching your goals. Traditional vision boards have images and words that help you stay focused on what it will look like when you reach your goals. Google Slides and Google Drawings are perfect partners for this image-driven creation! Beyond the Bell with Trackers As an adult, I often track my steps and progress over time. In the classroom, my students tracked their reading--pages read, books completed. But the power of tracking can help our students not only reach their goals but establish good habits and emotional control. Social and Emotional Learning, or SEL, is an essential component of success for students. Trackers offer students a way to recognize emotions and social queues, as well as show growth over time. Google Sheets is a great application for tracking habits, emotions, reading, health, and even moods. My friend and colleague, Lisa Johnson, has included many trackers in her book, Creatively Productive. Most of her templates are available in Google Sheets and Numbers. By using a spreadsheet template, we can create a quick and easy way to track. (Check out her guest post and access her free templates here: 6 FREE Google Templates for Creative Productivity.)

Peter Senge persuasively introduced the idea of the "learning organization" that constantly transforms itself. What exactly is required to be in a state where ongoing, quality learning is the norm?Marti and Todd explore conditions for learning, why we need to use our hands and bodies, the underlying principles of apprenticeship, how principles guide us more than facts, and why we need to break our addiction to static knowledge. Learning from experience in a state of open awareness - this is the nature of dynamic learning.From the Edge: From Systems to Ecosystems (Marti)Conscious Rant: 15 Steps to Enlightenment (Todd)

Around the U.S., teachers are gearing up for back to school--gathering ideas, planning lessons, and getting their classrooms ready for learning. Google tools can help you kick off the school year, get organized, and have some fun. So I thought now was a great time to share a few back to school activities with my favorite Google tools. No matter what grade level or subject area you teach, there are always a few ways that Google tools can help you and your students save time and get creative. Below are a variety of ideas to help get to know your students, build relationships, do some goal setting, create, and play some games. Be sure to share your favorite ways to use G Suite for back to school in the comments below this post! Here are six ideas for going Back to School with G Suite. Student Interest Survey with Google Forms One of the most important things teachers can do during the first few weeks of school is to build relationships with their students. We want to know what they like, what they don't like, where they struggle, and their learning style. There are lots of ways to get to know your students, but Google Forms is a great way to gather some basic information and keep it organized in a spreadsheet. The answers to some of these types of questions may not be something students are comfortable sharing with the entire class, so a Google Form is a great way to give students a safe space to share. Depending on what age you teach, these questions will vary. Below are some ideas to get you started. What do you want me to call you in class? (preferred first name) What is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? What are you passionate about? If you could learn anything at school, what would you choose to learn? Do you like to be recognized for your accomplishments in front of the class? What characteristics do you like in a teacher? Is there anything that you struggle with in class? What do you do if you don't know how to answer a question or problem? How do you learn best? What do you want me to know or understand about you? Do you prefer to work in groups or on your own? Do you like to read aloud? What are your favorite books? Do you enjoy reading? Vision Boards with Google Slides The beginning of the school year or semester is the perfect time to build a growth mindset and set some goals with students. Visualization is one of the most powerful exercises for the mind and for reaching your goals. A vision board is a collection of images and words that represent the things you want in life–the things you want to do, the things you want to learn, the things you want to be. Vision boards also support Dynamic Learning and the ISTE Standards for Students! This is just one small way we can empower l

Tune in today to learn more about The Learning Mixologist - #ISTE19 sneak peek with Holly Clark. We first presented this information at FETC and the information provided is from both of our books and learning frameworks! Holly has been in education for over 20 years and is now working to spread the concept of the #InfusedClassroom.

Google News and Updates Set start times and import reminders in Tasks Dynamic email in Gmail (beta) Threading changes in Gmail conversation view Take action faster with customizable swipe actions in Gmail on iOS Featured Content 20 sites for students with free time on their hands GeoGuessr — GeoGuessr uses Google Maps Street View to place you on the ground somewhere in the world in full panorama. The problem? You have NO idea where you are! You must use context clues to guess your location and pin it on a map. Choose to be dropped in certain continents, countries, cities, etc. … or make your own GeoGuessr game with GeoSettr! Smarty Pins — Smarty Pins is kind of like GeoGuessr’s cousin. It asks questions from categories like arts and culture, science and geography, and history and current events. The answers are locations, and you must pin them on a map to answer. It makes geography a game, and the closer you guess, the better your score is. A Google a Day — Most of us search the internet daily, if not multiple times per day. But effectively searching for something is a skill. A Google a Day challenges users to put their searching skills to the test by asking them to answer a question using Google search. With Google’s search education lesson plans you can take this game even further and begin teaching search literacy in your classroom. Street View Treks — Google Maps Street View lets its users see what life is like from the road, in full panorama. Street View Treks take that same technology to some of the most spectacular locations in the world, from Mount Fuji to the Grand Canyon to the Taj Mahal in India. Swim underwater at the Great Barrier Reef or climb the El Capitan rock face at Yosemite National Park. Google Arts and Culture — Discover exhibits and collections from museums and archives all around the world. Explore cultural treasures in extraordinary detail, from hidden gems to masterpieces. See super high-resolution images of some of the best works of art in the world. Walk world-famous museums. Examine historical happenings in detail. Google Quick Draw! — Quick, Draw! tells you what to draw. Then, Google’s artificial intelligence tries to guess what you’re drawing. It’s a neat way to introduce students to artificial intelligence OR to look at how we convert words/ideas into images. Emoji Scavenger Hunt - Emoji Scavenger Hunt is a super fun game from Google Experiments. Using the camera on your device, students identify emojis in the real world. The application uses artificial intelligence to try and determine what’s in the picture and see if it matches the emoji. Autodraw - AI experiment that allows you to draw and tries to predict what you are drawing so you can then select a more professional image to add to your project. Story Speaker - Combine the power of Google Docs with AI! Make interactive, talking stories without coding and play your story instantly on Google Home. What I love about this tool is that it will give you a “Choose Your Own Adventure,” story template in Google Docs, so that alone is worth exploring! Help students improve writing and get creative. Even if you don’t have a Google Home or cannot use it in your classroom, the Story Speaker tool and template are worth exploring! Talk to Books - When you type in a question or a statement, the model looks at every sentence in over 100,000 books to find the responses that would most likely come next in a conversation. This is a really interesting way to help kids connect and learn with literature, discover new authors and books, and strike up some interesting conversations! Made with Code - Made with Code is a program designed to help close the gender gap in the programming industry, and give girls and young women fun ways to learn how to code the things they love.
