Coaching a coach is an interesting experience, but everyone has struggles that they need to mastermind one in a while. Alison Jalufka is a Learning Coach at an elementary school in her Central Texas school district. She started her teaching career in elementary education as a first-grade teacher for ten years when the opportunity to make an impact as a technology and learning coach was presented to her.  Alison now supports the elementary teachers in her district along with a team of coaches to help implement a technology-based learning curriculum in the classroom. She has been tasked with developing a professional learning and development framework to better serve her teachers and had questions about how to bring the expectations of her position to fruition.  Kasey and Alison chat about creating actionable goals both for her individually and for her position. She already knows that she needs to find ways to better integrate the 4Cs into each workshop that she develops, but what else is needed? Kasey helps her talk through the process of creating her goals and how best to integrate learning and processes into each action and activity. There are so many great nuggets of information in this on-air coaching session that you won’t want to miss. Many of the barriers that Alison faces each day are likely similar to yours. Listen in as they discuss strategies for better tackling the problems with teacher buy-in and why building relationships and creating open lines of communication are the keys to success for a Learning Coach. Alison is already doing so many things right, but with just little mindset shifts here and there, she could be smashing her administrator’s expectations.

One of my favorite EdTech gurus is Cool Cat Teacher herself Vicki Davis. She's a classroom teacher who has implemented full-scale project learning. She's also an instructional technology director.   Quick announcement: I will be doing a LIVE recording of the Shake Up Learning Show at ISTE! Join me on Tuesday, June 25th at 11:00 AM in the Flipgrid booth! If you will be attending ISTE and want to be a contributor on the show, fill out the form to get in the lineup! Details are here.   I’d like to give a huge shoutout to Amanda Casamento for her review on The Google Certified Educator Level 1 Academy, today, June 4th, 2019 is your last chance to sign up for the summer.   This episode is sponsored by Pear Deck which brings powerful learning moments to life through presentations. They are also part of Be Internet Awesome and integrate with Google Apps for Education. Shake Up Learning listeners can try Pear Deck Premium for 60-days for free.   Vicki Davis is one of my friends and mentors. She is on her 500th episode of her 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and her passion for learning and teaching is contagious. She teaches technology, blogging, photography and more. She is also the IT director at her school.   When she goes home, she blogs and podcasts. She also has three kids and several cats and dogs. You could either say she works all the time or that she never works, because she is living her passion through her work. It is such a pleasure to have her on the show today.   We talk about how Vicki brings her students passions to light by using technology to get them to create projects based on things that they are actually interested in. We talk all about project based learning and innovative ways to teach using technology, some of the amazing projects her students have worked on, and our shared passion for teaching.   In This Episode: [06:02] Vicki teaches grades seven and eight. She teaches keyboarding, digital film, and blogging. She teaches introduction to computer science to ninth graders. This where they program apps, make , and record podcasts. [06:29] She also teaches digital film, and is the IT director at her school Sherwood Christian Academy. [06:41] She works with teachers to help them with their technology integration. At night, Vicki blogs and podcasts and she is a mom of three. [07:50] Vicki teaches regular photography. Then she tries to get her kids to understand the power of the closeups. They put tiny people on pictures on a high quality monitor. [09:28] These tiny people could be used as story starters. [11:17] It's Vicki's goal to find the strengths of every student and to point those out. She also records her lessons and puts them in Edpuzzle. [12:30] She wants her students to understand how to learn and pick up new skills using things like YouTube. [13:11] Using Edpuzzle allows Vicki to clone herself. She also uses Nearpod. [14:18] Technology can be used for learning, assessment, and feedback. [15:41] Videos should only be for four to six minutes, because it takes longer to work through them with pauses. [16:12] Vicki keeps it all about the kids and what they are interested in, but she also uses VR, AR, and 3D to really drive the point home. [16:23] She had some kids in her class who really love to fish, so they are making an app about fishing. [17:02] It's amazing to see what kids will do when you sparked their interest. [17:24] Kids have to ideate to come up with app names, but the whole model is based upon their interests and what their personal masterpieces are. [19:09] Project-based learning is learning while you do the project. [20:19] Since these kids have been working on apps that they care about, they're more positive and energetic about school, learning, and life in general. [21:03] Let kids pitch their ideas. Using the principle of the growth mindset, give them a yellow light, where they can move ahead once certain requirements are met. Production starts after getting the green light. [22:37] Differentiate instruction with technology. This consists of rubrics, milestones, and checkpoints. [24:24] There will be positive and negative checkpoints often wrapped in a compliment sandwich. [25:32] Project-based teaching and learning is a very engaged process. There are also project managers who report at the beginning of the class. [26:30] Vicki uses everything for her feedback loop from verbal comments to Google comments. [28:08] Podcasting is some of the greatest professional development. Vicki has the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast. Teachers need knowledge and encouragement. Her 500th episode is also coming up. [29:30] Vicki's strategy is to innovate like a turtle or take small baby steps every day. [32:36] We should make our world a little brighter by doing what inspires us. [34:09] Vicki began blogging, but was surprised when people actually started reading her work. She is building a source of inspiration and pride. [37:03] We need to encourage the power to share our voices. Podcast Question of the Week: How do you unleash the passions of your students? How can you and your students “innovate like a turtle” and use Vicki’s tips? Post your answers in the Shake Up Learning community or on your favorite social platform.

Podcasting and learning are the perfect partners. Listeners get to connect with the speaker in a much more intimate way. Hosts and podcasters get to express their views and opinions through their voice and telling their unique story. Podcasts are also a perfect way to get students excited about learning in a whole new way. They not only get the experience of gathering information and organizing it for presentation, but they get to put their own unique spin on the topic using their own voice. Teachers also have the advantage of getting kids excited about learning by letting them talk about topics that really interest them. If you are wondering how to get your students started podcasting, wonder no more. My guest today has so much passion for teaching, that he teaches both college and high school level courses concurrently. He is also involved in hosting, editing, or producing at least six podcasts and counting. He is a man who puts his love of technology and teaching into action everyday. Chris is also a good friend of mine and my go-to person for everything podcasting. In this episode, we talk about how to podcast with your students. We go over how to get started, tools to use, types of podcasts to consider, and much more. Chris is the host of The House of #EdTech Podcast and the producer of the Google Teacher Tribe Podcast that I do with Matt Miller. He has been teaching for 11 years. He is super creative and is always on the cutting edge of education technology. I’m super excited to have him on this show. I would also like to give a shout out to my friend Julie Cobb (E2Cobb) for her review on Episode 6 On-Air Coaching] - Staying Focused on the Learning Goals, Not the Technology. Thank you, Julie. This episode is sponsored by Pear Deck which brings powerful learning moments to life through presentations. They are also part of Be Internet Awesome and integrate with Google Apps for Education.

[05:44] - Chris is a high school social studies teacher in central New Jersey. He has been teaching for 11 years. [06:01] - He also teaches at the school of communication at Rutgers University. He teaches three courses at Rutgers in addition to the six courses he teaches at the high school level. [06:16] - Chris has been hosting The #House of EdTech Podcast for almost 6 years. He's been co-hosting PodcastPD for over 2 years. He edits the Google Teacher Tribe Podcast. He edits the Partial Credit Podcast, and he produces the Assist Learning Podcast. [06:43] - He also plans on producing the Infused Classroom Podcast. [07:08] - Chris loves what he does. He wanted to be an educator since he was 16 or 17 years old. None of it is work to him. [08:58] - Chris loves podcasting, because it gives him an opportunity to put his perspective and point of view out into the world. [10:05] - Kasey shares how moving from blogging to podcasting builds a different type of relationship with people. People feel like they know you in a different way. [11:14] - Creating video or audio is an intimate experience. [12:50] - Audio is a powerful learning tool for teachers. This makes podcasts the perfect medium. [15:11] - Students can use audio for any subject in a form that ranges from presentations to reflection tools. [16:47] - Teachers can record entire lessons for reflection or lectures to give to students. [18:53] - Kasey shares how podcasting is such a great tool for students from writing to fluency and the all important reflection piece. [20:25] - Students can get started podcasting with things they already have like Chromebooks, iPods, iPads, and cell phones. The idea is to create content, so just hit record. [21:24] - Free tools like Audacity and TwistedWave and Soundtrap can be used for editing audio. [23:06] - Other tools to simplify podcasting include Anchor, Synth, and Spreaker. [25:10] - Be careful letting Anchor do everything for your podcast, because you give up control and access to stats. Be the one who submits your RSS feed to Apple, Stitcher, Spotify, etc. You want to own your own content or podcast feed. Anchor users need to be at least 13 years old. [29:17] - PodcastPD let's Chris and his co-hosts talk about any educational topics. [30:52] - The #House of EdTech is all about technology integration and using it in the classroom today.

We’re doing something different today! This episode features my very first on-air coaching guest, Jasmine Saab. Jasmine is a second-year fourth-grade teacher at Marrington Elementary School near Charleston, South Carolina. She loves integrating movement and technology from her classroom. Originally from California, Jasmine fills her time with a wide array of hobbies ranging from tandem bike riding to volunteering to singing in foreign languages. Jasmine’s awards and accomplishments list is so long that I need to include it separately, so check it out below! As you can probably guess from that impressive list, Jasmine is an excellent teacher who’s doing some truly amazing things in her classroom. As you’ll hear today, she also has some struggles, specifically around technology. She’s inspired by technology without always thinking things through to the end in terms of planning and her learning goals. And that’s why she’s on the show today! I’ll coach her through this struggle and help her think of some new ways to think of her lesson design. One of Jasmine’s coolest projects is her robotic water cycle lesson, which involves all kinds of skills from her students. As she’ll explain, though, the lesson didn’t go perfectly. In our conversation today, we’ll focus specifically on this lesson, and I’ll ask her a series of questions that will help guide her through ways to make it better. We also talk about Jasmine’s new classroom toy, a 3D printer and how she can design meaningful learning experiences for her students using this device. These questions should help her (and you!) figure out how to improve various other lessons too. Listen in for some advice on how to make sure that tech fits your learning goals, and to hear about why it’s so important not to get distracted by the fun, shiny objects in technology.

How do you ensure that your enthusiasm doesn’t distract from the purpose of the lesson?

Google Certifications: Google Certified Educator Level 1, Google Certified Educator Level 2 Google “Spark”: When I first learned of Google Docs and Google Drive it was amazing that student documents could be accessed across multiple devices without the need for a floppy disk or thumb drive to bring to the computer lab. This was especially key when I got a class set of iPads. This may have been the gateway, but it was still just word processing.  The major sparks were realizing the options for varied expression, ability to use Doctopus to distribute templates to the learner and provide digital feedback via comments.

We'll have kids working on change concept soon, as well as building things. Both of these give us some scope for using the animations as you described. But, while I can embed an animation into slides, it does not 'animate' in present mode or when published to the web. Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong, or if we just have to leave the present mode to see animations like this? Matt Dill & Stacy Larsen - How do I prevent students from searching on other tabs in their browser for their answers, while taking a quiz on a Google Form on another? Neil Gibbs - Is there a way of having some pages set up to be portrait and some set up to be landscape? I have an E-Book that my students are working on through Google Classroom, the Google docs, I have set up, just seems to allow the document to be either portrait or landscape and not a combination. This is really frustrating as there are tables that work well in Landscape and questions and diagrams which are suited to portrait.

I have one quick question that maybe you can help with: my students are telling me that their Google Classroom reminders are coming to them after midnight. Is there somewhere I can adjust this? Chris Powers, Madison Wisc. -- In slides, is there a way to animate an object to follow a lined pathway? I'm a music teacher and want to animate an object like a bird, butterfly, bee, or kite, etc to show a voice pathway. I'd like it to go up and down (diagonally to show time and pitch) and even a loop if possible but I am not sure how to make an object follow a path. I figured the GTT and the swiss army knife of Google should be able to do this, right? Thanks! Elisabeth Schaap (The Netherlands) -- Just started using team-drive with my colleague who teaches in a parallel class. We share files that we want to give to our students using Classroom. But, we found out that we can not share files through Classroom straight from our team-drive. Firs,t we have to make a copy and place it in our own drive and from there we can share it using Classroom. Do you know why? Is there a logical reason? Any idea if Google will change this in the future? --  Abbey Thomas (Alabama) -- Google Slides, trying to embed a video that’s not a YT video … is there a way to do that? Add-on, extension? 4 Video Options in Google Slides That Will Make Your Day! Bruce Reicher (New Jersey) - Matt and Kasey -- I have a unique way I use Google Slides. Our school does a live tv show every morning. I have one slide deck that is the script and another slide deck for graphics and videos we play on the show. It's awesome to be able to share the script with students so they can practice before they come on the show. It also make life easier for me because I can update the script every day. In the past, I created Powerpoint slides and printed them every morning. Over the past 10 years, my students have produced over 1,000 live shows. That was a lot of paper printed for the script in the past. We now have a 1:1 with Chromebooks and no more printing :) Love the show and keep up the great work - Bruce Here's the script - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1es6y9EZjmHWPRwNd4muyMYpsvIY7YBvnwvJtfrfKlYU/edit?usp=sharing and Here is the graphic and video and credit run down -https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1nYM9vRr1ryRYThYUPqeD6NWTGGZJ7S5ScTrAA6D4V3c/edit?usp=sharing On The Blogs Matt - The “secret menu” for Google Slides, Docs, Drawings and more Kasey - How to Get Google Certified!
