Pear Deck - “It doesn’t feel like an assessment.” Available SEL Templates Nearpod Jamboard students respond with or without name on a jam. Knikole recommends: Putting 1 question per frame Using post-it colors strategically (red = I don’t get it, yellow = I’m not so sure, green = I’m ready to share) Discussing digital citizenship when using Jamboard We discussed the lack of a revision history on Jamboard. However, it has rolled out in the time since the interview was recorded! See Alice Keeler's article about the Revision History in Jamboard here. Padlet - “you can do so many different things!” Students can respond with text, videos, audio, images, drawings, screencasts, links.... just about anything! The big issue is the limitations of their free plan. For a new user, you'll only get 3 active "walls," but you can archive, delete, or clear them. Individual Pricing or School Pricing Mentimeter - lots of different options (polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A, etc) The big issue here is that their free plan only allows 2 question slides and 5 quiz slides per presentation. Here is their education Pricing Formative - great for data and tracking of standards-based mastery Their paid plan adds in student growth tracking Classkick Students can add Audio Teachers can jump into student slides Students can help each other The Celebration of the Adjacent Possible!

In this episode Knikole Taylor and I talk about personalized professional learning, giving teachers a voice, meeting with every teacher, becoming a barrier remover for teachers, and getting excited about the lessons that you're planning and how you will teach it! Nichole Taylor encourages the use of badging for professional learning and we have some powerful conversations about the state of education in these challenging times. As a director of innovation and instruction for my school, I am always looking for ways to help educators but I don't want to interfere with all the work they're trying to do. Sometimes it's like walking a tight rope between professional learning and the work they have to do each and every day. I want to support them and help them, but sometimes it is difficult to find a way into a teacher's busy day, and the last thing I want to do is create more work for them. Well, Knikole gave me some great ideas on how to personalize professional learning for teachers in my district. I think it's something that you'll be able to use too. We go to many important areas in education. As well. You're gonna love this interview, It was a great week to be the wired educator! I have two other great interviews coming at you. I have an interview with Josh Stamper from the Teach Better Team. We have an incredible conversation about trauma-informed practices in education as well as restorative practices, I also had a great interview with Hines Apple and his new book titled Award-Winning Culture. These two interviews will be coming to you soon. Knikole Taylor serves as the Instructional Technology Coordinator for a school district in Texas.

Mandy and Josh talk with educator and personalized PD advocate Knikole Taylor about how she has not been afraid to have her students lead the learning and learn alongside them. The group discusses the shift from a time when teachers knew everything to a more collaborative process for learning. Plus a discussion sparked by Game of Stories tinyurl.com/ppdstories about video conferencing and how they've used it with students and staff caps off the conversation.
It’s not solely about having a “makerspace” anymore. These days, schools are trying to figure out how to bring making into every facet of the school day, with mobile kits, clubs and more. And when it comes to incorporating making into everyday curriculum, Cicely Day and Knikole Taylor are experts. Cicely Day works in Oakland, California at Burckhalter Elementary School as an instructional teacher leader, where she helps support teachers and students in ELA/math and in the computer lab. Two times zones over, Knikole Taylor is a blended learning specialist in a Dallas, Texas suburban school district, where she support Pre-K to 12th grade teachers and students with all things digital teaching and learning. But despite the work of on-the-ground educators like Day and Taylor, the maker movement in K-12 schools is far from perfect. What does it really take, for example, to diversify the communities of maker educators and mentors out there? And how does one respond to educators or critics who say that maker education is “just a fad”? To discuss and debate these questions and more, Day and Taylor came onto the EdSurge podcast. Take a listen, or skip below to get right to the Q&A! https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-09-26-what-will-it-take-to-push-the-k-12-maker-movement-to-be-more-inclusive
*A meaningful discussion about the lack of funding and resources for schools across America requires an honest look at the role systemic racism plays in education. All too often, we hear about the need for equity as a way to rectify disparities; in reality, equity doesn’t address the core problem but rather perpetuates it. “* *Separate but Equal* ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separate_but_equal ) *” was abolished and replaced by equity, yet minority communities still struggle 66 years later.* *I’ve invited* *Dr. Michael Moody* ( https://www.insighteducationgroup.com/our-team-michael-moody ) *back on the show for a discussion about equity in education,, along with* *Knikole Taylor* ( http://www.knikoletaylor.com/ ) *. Dr. Moody is the CEO of Insight Advance, an organization dedicated to improving instructional practices and students’ achievement through various strategic coaching models. He joined us for episode 10 of the podcast about* *Racism in America* ( https://redcircle.com/shows/929fa95d-1fbd-4ae6-9a7e-926f90fb7b4e/episodes/a3c584c6-fa0f-4303-82cf-4b9cd894bbff ) *. Also for this conversation, I wanted a real educator doing the work of equalizing education, and Knikole Taylor is perfect. She’s a rockstar educator who resides in Dallas, Texas and currently works as a technology instructional coach. Mrs.Taylor is an international professional development trainer, curriculum developer, speaker, and author.
