Podcasts about smartboards

A very Hulk-centric episode of The Stevie Richards Show this week.  Stevie talks about Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff arrival in TNA and how that indirectly impacted his career in the company, the influence and changes that came about on the back of it and a very interesting memory Stevie has from a conversation where the Hulkster let his guard down backstage. Stevie fires up the Smartboard to perform a breakdown of Hulk Hogan taking the Undertaker's Tombstone.  Could the Hulkster have sustained a real deal injury from the move and cause the Deadman to fear for his job? Then, in the main event, Stevie takes a look at some of the biggest fibs Hulk Hogan has told over many years including being asked to join Metallica, Discovering Kevin Owens and JUST missing out of the BIGGEST endorsement ever!   Stevie Richards surprised, entertained and informed the wrestling world in 2023 when he debuted the Stevie Richards' Wrestling Analysis YouTube channel to widespread critical acclaim. Combining his experience in the wrestling profession with his keen eye for detail and a passion for teaching fans and workers alike, Richards achieved over 100,000 YouTube subscribers in a matter of months with his short form videos explaining exactly what went right or wrong in a particular match or manoeuvre. With 30+ years working for nearly every major American promotion during their hottest periods (ECW, WCW, WWE, TNA), Stevie Richards is not only dusting off his patented whiteboard and marker to once again break down the psychology and physicality of this crazy business, but Stevie is now adding to his repertoire by debuting a weekly show, imaginatively titled The Stevie Richards Show. The "show" in The Stevie Richards Show is the key word - this will not be another run of the mill podcast recorded on Zoom, clipped up and posted 8 times a day on YouTube and featuring a disinterested ex pro wrestler out to make a quick buck. What makes The Stevie Richards Show a "show" will be the attention to detail given to every episode, including added on screen annotations, factoids, images and video and 4K camera set up to give the sharpest, best looking, broadcast quality videos on YouTube. Most importantly of all, The Stevie Richards Show's output will be about quality, not quantity. Every Friday, Stevie Richards and co-host James Romero (WSI | Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Story Time with Dutch Mantell) will discuss the latest news, delve deep into the wrestling profession with more detail and first hand experience than any other podcast, answer fan submitted questions and, yes, break out the whiteboard to break down the what went right, or wrong, in the wrestling world. The Stevie Richards Show debuts on YouTube and all podcast platforms on Friday, June 28th. YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/@StevieRichardsShow

 Today, we're breaking free from the monotony of traditional drill and kill worksheets and delving into the realm of engaging math practice strategies. Say goodbye to boredom and hello to innovation!

Sie schicken ihre Kinder auf analoge Schulen, frei von Smartphones und Tablets. Sie, sind die CEOs der großen Big-Tech-Unternehmen aus dem Silicon Valley. Sie wissen es also besser. Sie wissen um die schädliche Wirkung, die ihre eigenen Produkte auf die Kinder dieser Welt haben. Für die breite Masse der schulpflichtigen Kinder und Jugendlichen wollen sie keine Verantwortung tragen. Im Gegenteil. Die Digitalisierung der Schulen wird nicht nur gepriesen, sondern hierzulande forciert durchgesetzt. Ganz so, als gäbe es im deutschen Schulwesen nichts dringenderes. Etwa die Bereitstellung funktionierender und hygienischer Toiletten. Im 21. Jahrhundert priorisieren die Kultusministerien, jedes Kind an Tablet und Smartboard zu führen. Weg mit der Kreidetafel, wir leben ja nicht mehr in der Kreidezeit. Die Schadenswirkung der digitalen Welt auf soziale, emotionale, motorische und neurologische Entwicklungen der Kinder ist mittlerweile gut erforscht, doch die jungen Menschen werden kollektiv dem digitalen Denken und nicht zuletzt der Big-Data-Datenkrake zugeführt. Doch im hohen Norden zeichnet sich eine Kehrtwende ab. Die skandinavischen Vorreiter in Sachen Digitalisierung der Schulen treten den Rückweg an. Norbert Häring skizziert diese neue Entwicklung. Hören Sie seinen Text „Die Vorreiter der Schuldigitalisierung legen den Rückwärtsgang ein“.

Warum gehen so viele Lehrer:innen und Direktor:innen in Bürokratie unter? Wie kann es sein, dass Lehrer:innen falsche Gehälter und Verträge bekommen? Warum werden neue Smartboards nicht montiert, obwohl das Geld und der Wille da sind? Wieso haben Kinder mit Behinderungen und/oder Beeinträchtigungen im Jahr 2024 immer noch keinen gleichberechtigten Zugang zu Bildung? Julia Malle und Felix Stadler, selbst Lehrer:innen und Bildungssprecher:innen der Grünen Wien, zeigen im Podcast Kuriositäten und Probleme des Wiener Bildungssystems auf. Diese kleinen alltäglichen Geschichten zeigen auf, woran das Bildungssystem im Großen krankt und scheitert: soziale Ungerechtigkeit, mangelnde Wertschätzung, überbordende Bürokratie; wenig Autonomie, Innovationsfeindlichkeit und vieles mehr. Aber. Es gibt auch Lösungen. Schulen, die entgegen aller Kräfte Innovation vorantreiben. Lehrer:innen, die die Sache selbst in die Hand nehmen und bessere Bildung für alle ermöglichen. Und Lösungen durch Änderungen im System, die im Grunde bereits am Tisch liegen!

Hurra, die Smartboards kommen und die Tafeln und die Whiteboards gehen. In der Digitalisierungswüste Deutschland werden die Schulen mit Smartboards ausgestattet. Wieso es sich um eine reine Digitalisierungs-Attrappe handelt, erfahren Sie hier. Die wichtigste Information für Entscheider: Smartboards ersetzen nicht die klassische Tafel! Sie ersetzen Beamer. Eine Tafel braucht man unbedingt zusätzlich. Smartboards werden nur deshalb anders vermarktet, weil sie als Tafelersatz weniger teuer wirken als sie sind. Denn Smartboards stehen in Budget-Konkurrenz zu anderen potenziellen Kosten in Klassenzimmern und Seminarräumen.

Dies dient häufig der politischen Selbstdarstellung und der Demonstration von Fortschrittlichkeit, ohne jedoch einen substantiellen Mehrwert für die Lehre zu bieten. Trotz der anfänglichen Euphorie über Smartboards zeigen sich im Nachhinein oft mehr Nachteile als Vorteile. Die empfindliche Natur dieser Technologie führt zu häufigen technischen Problemen und einer erhöhten Anfälligkeit für Beschädigungen. Dies wiederum belastet das Budget der Schulen und lenkt von den eigentlichen Bildungszielen ab. Die versprochenen didaktischen Vorteile erweisen sich oft als begrenzt, während der Einsatz von Smartboards zu einer Verschlechterung des Lehrprozesses führen kann. Aus Sicht der Schüler und Studierenden hat die Einführung von Smartboards folgende Vor und Nachteil.

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A GOOD TEACHER HACK?I sure do, and in this episode of The Classroom Commute podcast - I've got a good one!  If you have ever used a Smartboard before, the you're likely familiar with the concept of an infinite cloner.  This feature allows you to have an object or image on the screen that students can reproduce, or clone, over and over and over - as many times as they'd like.  This feature comes in handy in a lot of scenarios.  However - this feature is NOT available inside of Google Slides - or is it?While the infinite cloner may not be a feature in Google Slides, I know of a little hack that will get the job done and work just as good!FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES VISIT:  classroomnook.com/podcast/110------------------------------------Links & Resources Mentioned in the EpisodeEPISODE 53: Using a Reading Genre Wheel to Encourage Reading VarietyEPISODE 31: How to Use a Reader's and Writer's Notebook in the Upper Elementary ClassroomGrab the Done-for-You Reader's Notebook HEREGrab the Done-for-You Writer's Notebook HEREVIDEO TUTORIAL: How To Create an Infinite Clone in Google Slides

In this episode, Lindy joins us to discuss quick adaptations to everyday practices to increase engagement. We will run through a number of strategies that will not cost more time or money to improve the attention of your students. We like many of you find ourselves leveraging the same tasks throughout the years an are always looking to change it up and grad that attention of the students. What is engagement? Lindy describes engagement in 3 categories: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive. Behavioral is student behave in class, they don't act up, the bring their materials to class. Its their behavior in that class. Then there is emotional engagement. They feel connected to the school community. They are happy to be there. They act positively. When you are giving your lesson they are alert and are emotionally invested in what you are saying. And finally there is cognitive engagement. This is their intellectual engagement. They want to learn and think more deeply about the subject. They ask challenging question. Together this is big picture engagement. this is a long term disposition to learn. What happens to engagement over the years? Over an educational career it is normal for engagement to wain. Think of the complexity and specificity of the learning. Think about the general practice of a kindergarten teacher vs. a high school teacher. Exceptions aside the amount of reading increase, the expectation of compliance raises and the length of the learning tasks widens. In 2nd grade the instruction is designed to be quick, fast paced and interactive. With each passing year those opportunities lessens. Emotionally school continues to be described as enjoyable by the younger the students. Change your practice to engage the kids. You can try writing on novel surfaces. Beyond the whiteboard or Smartboard try writing on the windows or floor. They excitement alone is a great a

Für Tablets, Smartboards und Lehrerfortbildung an Schulen gibt es vom Bund fünf Milliarden Euro. Die Mittel wurden auch bewilligt, doch ausgezahlt wurde in Sachsen-Anhalt etwa bisher nur ein Bruchteil. Woran liegt das?

This week on the Chrome Cast, we spend a good bit of time talking through MediaTek's Executive Summit, the things that were announced there, and our thoughts on what the landscape of MediaTek ARM-powered Chromebooks will look like in the coming weeks and months. Joe was lucky enough to get to go out to California for the event and we made some fantastic new connections with MediaTek folks and other media creators, too. Don't worry, we talk about all of it. We also cover the new leaks of the Pixel 6a and discuss a bit about where this phone could fit into Google's new lineup. With an aesthetic that matches the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro and the same Tensor SoC, it will be interesting to see where Google chooses to cut corners for the Pixel 6a. With the Pixel 6 already being relatively low-priced, we expect a similar $349-$399 price tag for the Pixel 6a, so this phone could get very, very interesting.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin the show talking about all things Pixel 6. With a few launch-related bugs, we've been really impressed with Google's continual ownership of the issues and their quickness in fixing things they've admitted are actually problems. For past phones, the company has been a bit more hesitant to admit clear failures both with software and hardware on Pixel phones. With Pixel 6, it seems this isn't the case, and that should mean we'll have better phone experiences across the board as time goes on with these new devices. The second half of the show is dedicated to our Best Chromebooks of 2021 list and we break down some of the reasoning behind our decisions on that list. If you've not already checked out the post/video on that, you'll be able to see it via the links below.

Haben Sie es auch gehasst, dieses Geräusch von quietschender Kreide auf der Schultafel? Zum Glück sind diese Zeiten ja vorbei, weil es in den Schulen jetzt digitale Smartboards gibt, für die man keine Kreide mehr braucht. Doch es ist nicht alles Gold was glänzt - findet zumindest unser Kirchenfunkredakteur Burkard Vogt. Aber hören Sie selbst …

Veteran ESL teacher Jean Luppino, and her colleague, Kristina Signore, share how their English learners have made rapid progress, real-world connections and gained confidence through STORYWORLD's digital, story-based learning platform. STORYWORLD utilizes reading, writing, speaking and listening to engage students with over a dozen first languages, and is easily implemented by any teacher.   Resources:  Connect to STORYWORLD for English Language Learners Connect to STORYWORLD for World Language Learners   Episode Transcript (electronically generated):   Kristina Signore: [00:00:00] So now I see the kids who never raised their hands before raising their hands in my class because they have something interesting to say they have something to contribute to the conversation. The confidence of my students has completely skyrocketed because of STORYWORLD   Kristi Hemingway: [00:00:56] Hi everyone. It's your host Kristi Hemingway.

Ratings and reviews are the flotation devices in the podcast ocean. And we'd be so grateful for those 30 seconds of your time and effort. And now onto the reason, you came. Our first guest Jene Lupino is an energetic, passionate Elementary educator with a master's in English as a second language when we spoke. She was just starting her 20th year at Fairview Elementary where she works primarily with Spanish speaking students.    Jean Luppino: [00:01:43] Prior to that. I was teaching in Fort Lee, New Jersey back in the 80s, 80s, early 90s. When most of my students were all Asian, it started off with Japanese students and then they all left and went back to Japan. And then the next September, the demographics were all Korean students.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:02:04] Jean has worked with students from all over the world with a wide range of first languages. So she knows the challenge of differentiating instruction. And for English Learners also joining us to talk about second language acquisition was jeans colleague, Kristina Signore.   Kristina Signore: [00:02:19] Even though I'm the general education teacher, my population in my classrooms, all ESL bilingual students. So they're the lower students. A lot of them just came from countries, such as Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador  so they have very minimal English.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:02:40] You came here to talk about STORYWORLD, which is a resource that has really helped you work with your English Learners, and I'm wondering prior to you finding STORYWORLD. What was the frustration?  Or the gap or the need that you were seeking to fill or respond to that caused you to be shopping?    Jean Luppino: [00:03:00] Okay, and it's, this is not just because of covid, even prior to covid. There is no specific book for ESL. A classroom teacher General Ed like Kristina, they will have an assigned book, a math book and so on and so on. There really is nothing like that for ESL. You can get some ESL books workbooks, but it's basically worksheets glued together. You need all four domains. I'm Italian. My grandmother spoke to me in Italian all the time. She lived with us. I don't know one word of Italian, but if somebody speaks in Italian, I understand everything they say. I cannot answer. I cannot even say one sentence because I didn't practice it, so, but yet, I was always hearing it. So I had to listening. I never wrote it. I never read anything in Italian, and I never spoke. So, hence. I cannot speak Italian. When I found this program with the four domains. I thought I won the lottery. I almost didn't even want to get paid to go to work because I was on a high.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:04:11] Jean mentioned covid and are English Learners were a big concern for us during remote and hybrid learning. So, I wanted to hear from Jean how she Kept her students progressing and  engaged.   Jean Luppino: [00:04:24] I started watching my kids during the covid time when we were home teaching how they started progressing. How one girl prior to covid a few months before in February when I asked you to read something that I put up on the Smartboard, when she said, Mrs. Lupino, you know, I know can read and all of a sudden having her read this, or quite a few sentences and STORYWORLD with the intonation and with the excitement. She was so good. That I wanted these people in California to hear my girl read, who six weeks prior actually started crying, and how she was reading with such confidence. It was amazing. So, I said, I gotta tell these people in California. They're onto something. And that's how I made contact with them.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:05:20] Yeah, and so, For the people listening right now who are hearing about STORYWORLD for the very first time, explain to us what exactly the resource is and what I mean by that is like, what do you get? And what are students doing with what they get? Is it full class instruction? I mean, how is it implemented?    Jean Luppino: [00:05:45]  It's a reading program where you learn English through literature and through Reading. I start off in September with the easiest level 1 books, which are leveled according to fountas and pinnell. So we start off with the first book, where Am I  about a brother and sister playing hide and seek and the boy is hiding and he's giving a Clues to his sister. Very simple sentences and repetitive sentences also. Where am I? I am in the box and you see a picture of a boy in the box. Then I play it in Spanish first. I click it on in English. Then I click the little button and I do it in Spanish when they had their own computers. They had to put their finger under each word.    Kristi Hemingway[00:06:31] So each student is seeing the story with the illustrations on the words unfold on their own devices or on one big screen.     Jean Luppino: [00:06:44]   Yes.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:06:45] The classroom that students could potentially be doing this individually, or you could bring it for full class instruction.   Jean Luppino: [00:06:49] Yes, both. So I put it on. When I went into Kristina's room I put it up on the Promethean board, but I followed the same instruction. We went through the story Page by Page. They had to repeat and a few times I clicked it in Spanish so that we get the gist of the story and you can also just click on a word. For instance, There's a story called My Clothes Don't Fit And if you click on clothes just the individual word. It will say ropa clothes, ropa, clothes Ropa. In the past when a child had a book to read, who's is helping them decode? What that word was. They didn't know so they would skip over words.Here they don't miss one word. If you don't know the word in then throw in, thank ra, so they get it in English to get it in Spanish. You can read the whole book in. You can read in English and then before you turn the page, click it in Spanish. You can click on each individual word in English and it will tell you the Spanish translation.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:07:55] Jean has also created notebooks for her students to keep track of the details of the story they're reading and the words they're learning and then STORYWORLD provides additional reinforcement and practice through games.   Jean Luppino: [00:08:07] After you read the story there are vocabulary games, then there are three audio questions and they're basically run the questions are always set up the same. There is an inference question and opinion question, look at this picture and tell me something about what you see in this picture and tell me what's going on in the picture. There's always three audio and then the next day I have the students do the three written part 3 written questions, but we go over it in class the three audio questions. Now are they all going to remember what I said in class Of course not, but even if they look at the picture of the story, my clothes don't fit and they don't remember. This picture is about a girl whose clothes don't fit. Of course, they're not going to say that, but if they even write pants or speak pants too big. Okay, they're coming along, they're getting it and it's okay.   Kristina Signore: [00:09:10] It's saves to, like you can refer back to it as well.    Jean Luppino: [00:09:13] You go back and you find that part and then copy the words or you see what it says.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:09:20] So there are four worksheets that correspond to each story and during remote learning in 2020, STORYWORLD added digital versions of those to their site.  Jean Luppino: [00:09:35] One would be matching where the words, you know, the picture of a shirt, pants, belt shoes and then the words are there on the right? So they have to, you know, with their finger on the Chromebook or with the stylus. It allows them to draw the line. And then, they have to unscramble some words, big clothes to Big the,  the clothes are too big. They have to put it in the right order and they could go back to the story and find that sentence. So homework for Monday night there, to two pages, digitally Tuesday night to page three and four digitally Wednesday night. The audio, three questions, Thursday night, the written part. I have listening, speaking, Reading ,Writing all there. And if you're part of the Wida Consortium you  know the access for ELL test that many states are part of. They want you to spend an equal amount of time 25 percent, 25, 25 and 25. You can't Just give them a worksheet.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:10:34] when you say home. They actually are doing it for homework. Am I right?    Jean Luppino: [00:10:40] Correct.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:10:41] Outside of school.  So then Kristina, you are a regular, you're a gen Ed classroom teacher Jene is pushing into your classroom occasionally to work with your students. But then, are you also using STORYWORLD outside of the time that Jene's is in your classroom?    Kristina Signore: [00:10:59] Absolutely. So I love how versatile STORYWORLD is because you can really adapt it to your curriculum. I've used STORYWORLD for grammar for my students because we're still expected to teach them, you know, the third grade standards. So, what I would do is, I would feature the story on my Promethean board, which is my smart board, and we would go through it and say okay show me an example of a statement,  Show me an example of a question. So it's very useful for that. And there's a lot of sciencey kinds of books lso on there about animals. Jean Luppino: [00:11:33] and the nonfiction section.    Kristina Signore: [00:11:34] Actually, yes, the nonfiction section. So we do a lot on biomes and animal life. So I kind of try to adapt it with that and there's new stories coming out. There's actually a story about butterflies, which is a big unit because we talk about life cycles in third grade. So I'm definitely going to be using The Butterfly, A Monarch Butterfly story to help with that. And I also have seen Jene do a lot of a flipped classroom approach with it, which I think is really cool because you can have your kids Read the stories at home and then respond to them while you're in class. So they can, you know, discuss the story a little bit further, but they've already read it previously and that's a little bit better for the advanced students. And I also use STORYWORLD as an approach to teaching the students how to build their stamina. They're reading stamina. So, I am put a week certain blocked amount of time for independent reading for my students. Well, there are some students that are struggling readers and they use STORYWORLD during that time because it's the time for them where they can practice the language. And I've seen them build their confidence because of that, because they're more confident in the language. And they've been learning these words and the vocabulary, and how to speak with Mrs. Lupino. They continue practicing during the independent reading time. And I see that now they are more confident to talk with their friends and discuss stories.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:05]  It sounds like you're both very enthusiastic about the content of the stories because sometimes, you know, used to be that you had these leveled readers that were all just about appropriate vocabulary, but the stories themselves were not that engaging. So can you talk to the question of the quality of the literature and the engagement and how do students like it? Do they like the stories?  Kristina Signore: [00:13:28] They really do like it. And I    Jean Luppino: [00:13:29] And I think, Remember Brian,    Kristina Signore: [00:13:30] aww of that was a good one.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:13:27] You have to tell that one.   Jean Luppino: [00:13:34] I read, I read in second grade.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:13:36] I actually lost Jene and Kristina in the middle of this story to a dreaded Zoom freeze. But basically the kids had read a STORYWORLD story about how the pandas are disappearing because they're losing their habitat. The bamboo forests are being cut down. Jean didn't think that this little boy, Brian had comprehended much of the story because his English was very limited and they really hadn't worked through all the vocabulary yet, but then during recess, Brian came, running up to her, tugging on her sleeve, with great urgency and leading her over toward the fence. And she just assumed that someone needed a Band-Aid or maybe some kids needed help with the conflict.  Jean Luppino: [00:14:18] I went over and I said, what is it? What do you want? And this little boy just pointed to the fence and he said, look on the other side of the fence was somebody's house but it was a lot of overgrowth bushes and and I, you know, I wanted to get back to the group that I was supposed to be with, but I said, but what am I looking at? Like I'm thinking, is there a frog? Did they see a snake? Is a bird in the tree, like what am I looking at a butterfly and  the little boy said, bamboo. Look Mrs. Lupino there's bamboo and he said just like in the story. So Mrs. Lupino, If there's bamboo here if the pandas need food, they can come here because there's so much bamboo for them to eat. And then he said do we have any panda bears Where we live? Meaning, New Jersey? And I said, that's a really good question. Jean Luppino: [00:15:18] Yeah,but I actually took a picture of the boy pointing to the bamboo and sent it to STORYWORLD, and sent it to my principal and my our literacy coach saying, this little boy made a connection.    Kristina Signore: [00:15:29] Well, they are very excited and enthusiastic about STORYWORLD because when you came into my classroom the other day Jene and you were like, oh hi guys, welcome back. I said that's Mrs.Luppino  you know she's your ESL teacher. Are we going to do STORYWORLD? Again? The kids are Yeah, you are. Oh, yes. I love STORYWORLD    Jean Luppino: [00:15:50]  Because they can also just read it on their own. They don't have to ask an adult. What's this word? How do you pronounce it?   Kristina Signore: [00:15:55] Like the pictures that go along with the stories too. Because they're sort of interactive.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:16:00] The STORYWORLD platform includes a teacher dashboard to track Student Activity and progress.    Jean Luppino: [00:16:09] Click on the dashboard and I went. Hmm, you did not finish your audio. So you know the three questions so, you know, they'll have an excuse of whatever but I need that done. I use the audio every week as a quiz, I use the written part every week as a test. So yes, I have 1 million test scores, but I like to see how they progress as they're writing. Sometimes as I said, it's just a word and then they can string a couple of words together. Then it becomes a nice sentence. Plus, we go over it a lot. I repeat. There were no surprises in my class.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:16:46] So students like it and they're motivated by their rapid progress, but I wondered about the learning curve for teachers as far as implementation.    Jean Luppino: [00:16:58] There's a lot of things out there. They're really difficult to use for teachers. Okay, you see each other in the hallway saying, do you know how to get onto it? Like what he's supposed to touch? This is not like that. This is easy and then remember our students at home last year was the first time they had ever even touched a computer and they didn't have to call their mom to show them What do I touch? It's very self-explanatory. ,so easy for the kids and the teachers.   Kristina Signore: [00:17:24] It's user-friendly. Lee is just to click on their name like when they go on STORYWORLD they just find their name on your list, they click their name and it logs them in,    Jean Luppino: [00:17:35] Then they are on    Kristina Signore: [00:17:37] They don't have to worry about remembering the password, remembering a username. You know, it's very user friendly, especially for the elementary.   Jean Luppino: [00:17:43] When I check it during the week. I see that some of the kids read five or six stories and it's not just that they opened it and close it. It tells you how much time they spent reading the book and how many sessions and then you could see their comprehension. It gives you a graph with a comprehension. They're listening and the best thing is which is a lot of fun. The company has six games in the exact same games for every story. One is like a tornado spinning around dropping words and you have to put them in order. One is a magic wand that you click the magic wand and then the word comes out and you have to read it the six games. And they like it   so they're playing six games, but it's all related to that story.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:18:34] So the gamified learning is really motivating for the students. That sounds like, it sounds like  their own ability to make fast and measurable progress is also motivating to them And you also said that this is really easy to implement for teachers. Did you receive any kind of training or are there training? Is there training available on the website? How did you get up and running? With the program. And how long did it take? Kristina Signore: [00:18:59]  You all play around with it. Jean Luppino: [00:19:03] But when I first got it, there weren't little short videos because it's so simple. You don't need any of these hour  videos. It was really basic how to put the kids on your roster. right now. It's English, Spanish and Chinese. And you just clock in. I speak Spanish.    Jean Luppino: [00:19:21] I want to learn English. Boom. So always be set up like that or you could write I speak English. I want to learn Chinese, I guess we could learn Chinese.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:19:30] Not only can you learn. Mandarin STORYWORLD's entire program and Library will be released very soon in Cantonese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, Bengali, Filipino, Haitian, Creole and more. There are adding new languages even as you're listening to this podcast. And my second Insider scoop. Is that a free 90 day pilot or trial is available to any teacher through the STORYWORLD website, you have nothing to lose and your second language Learners have everything to gain by you heading to EdCuration.com and reaching out to STORYWORLD. All one word. I'm pretty sure that Jene and Kristina are on a mission to see STORYWORLD in every single school and District.    Jean Luppino: [00:20:18] When I first started using this,and it was the height of covid. I was outside and my neighbor was having her cousin from Brooklyn come by and as she parked, Sitting on my step. She said  Jene. This is my cousin. She's an ESL teacher in Brooklyn. And I said, oh hi, so nice to meet you from across the street, you know, and I said, can I ask you? What do you what do you use?    Jean Luppino: [00:20:41] I'm always interested in  what other ESL teachers use. We were talking in the middle of the street. She said it is so hard. Sometimes I even play my guitar. You look for a zero, you'll make a Xerox copy of this or a Xerox copy of that or you know you kind of all over the place without a system. I need a system.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:21:05] So what did you use before, you found STORYWORLD? How were you addressing this learning?   Jean Luppino: [00:21:07] My sister was a third grade teacher in a second grade teacher. My daughter is a teacher. They would bring me home  grammar books or this or a little paragraphs to read what questions and I say, but my kids can't read those paragraphs unless I sit there and read each and every word. With them and there's no pictures. That's why when people give worksheets just worksheets. What is the worksheet? I mean, you're just copying you. It doesn't mean anything. Kristi Hemingway:[00:21:42] Yeah, like you said, you need the four domains. You need to hear    Jean Luppino: [00:21:48]  what I want to tell you about this girl. So when I asked her, I  said, oh, you teach in Brooklyn. So I said, what do your kids speak? She said, Chinese, so I said, she said, Mandarin Chinese. And I said, wait a minute. I went inside and got my computer. I made her sit on my front steps and I went through it with her. She was so excited. We became cellphone friends.   Jean Luppino: [00:22:06] she would write to me. Oh my God, if the school doesn't buy it for me. I'm going to see if the PTA will buy it for Me. Oh, I don't care if they don't buy it from me. I'm gonna buy it myself. She said that saved her life because it had, it was interesting. It wasn't a worksheet. It's engaging. Imagine going to Russia because your parents have to move there and you're in a classroom and the teacher, you're in the fifth or  sixth grade, the teacher's hand in your worksheet and Russian. What is it? I wouldn't even know which direction to turn the paper to and you're supposed to get a dictionary and look up words and and whose Teaching you the  pronunciation.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:22:46] Yeah , this is the four domains. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.    Jean Luppino: [00:22:50]  This is the four domains. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:22:52] It's so important So I'm curious about you. Kristina has this shifted, your teaching in your classroom at all as far as your own pedagogy or your own practice.   Kristina Signore:[00:23:00]  Well, it's definitely shifted the teaching in my classroom because it's shifted The Learning in my classroom. If that makes sense. My students went from kind of quiet, Disengaged, you know, they were afraid to speak up in the classroom because they had limited English. What is now they have something that's reinforcing the language for them and they've become more confident because they're practicing, not just with Jean, but at home alone, or with their friends, how to speak. So now, I see the kids who never raised their hands before raising their hands in my class because they have something interesting to say they have something to contribute to the conversation. The confidence of my students has completely skyrocketed because of STORYWORLD and that's the big thing for me. I feel that the most important thing for students is to be confident learners because when you're a confident learner you're ready to dive into anything new. You're ready to collaborate with your peers. You're ready to take on a project and do critical thinking. So I think that STORYWORLD has definitely contributed to their academic success 100%    Kristi Hemingway:[00:24:19] Grade level wise. What is the span that we're talking about for this resource?    Kristina Signore: [00:24:23] I mean, what would you say?    Jean Luppino: [00:24:26] I think you could read it up through high  school because    Kristina Hemingway: [00:24:28] Kindergarten up through high school.   Jean Luppino: [00:24:29] I believe So Because put yourself going into another country Trying to read a book. The non-fiction books that are listed have a lot of information, but it's in an simpler form, but the vocabulary. STORYWORLD uses a lot of vocabulary that is in the science Book. The Social Studies book. I don't know if I still want to go back and learn Italian. I kind of want a book that I'm going to be able to relate to and it's not going to be way over my head. So to give me the confidence.   Kristina Signore: [00:25:01]  It relates. I think the really amazing thing about STORYWORLD is that it relates to real life experience. Like my clothes don't fit. That's a book that they I can relate to their real life everyday life. They're learning how to say, my clothes don't fit. This is too small. This is too big. They're learning everyday, sort of vocabulary and experiences.    Kristi Hemingway:[00:25:27] Yeah, so it's more about the reading level that a student is at rather than the grade level that they're at.   Kristina Signore: [00:25:32] Yes. Yes, because you've been laying on, you can be in high school and Beyond a fountas and Pinnell D level and Books coincide with the fountas and Pinnell leveling, right. And when you're    Jean Luppino: [00:25:46]  Right and when you're speaking your language proficiency.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:25:49] So I'm curious. So you started using this as a school a year ago, what difference have you noticed with your incoming students? This fall having had STORYWORLD last year. Kristina Signore: [00:25:59] So I have the lowest ESL kids and typically, when I get the really low ESL kids. They have extremely limited English.    Kristina Signore: [00:26:12] I mean they just know how to say yes, no, bathroom simple words. Some of them don't even know how to do that. But because this program has been implemented last year and Jean's already been working with my students. I noticed that the class I've gotten this year everybody speaks English. Now, is it expert level English obviously not but they all can communicate with me. Whereas last year. I had a good chunk of kids that Didn't know how to speak with me at all.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:26:41] We're starting from stracht.    Kristina Signore: [00:26:45] I definitely see a difference with students and I have had students last year, William for instance, beginning of the school year,    Jean Luppino: [00:26:55] Oh my Gosh, amazing story    Kristina Signore: [00:26:56] He was from Guatemala. He came right When, when he was in second grade. He came right at the height of the pandemic. So we shut school down. So he has no in school. He's had No in Sports Experience, basically because of STORYWORLD. He went from not being able to speak any English to fluent in six months.   Jean Luppino: [00:27:20] Not just reading speaking.    Kristina Signore: [00:27:22] Speaking reading. I mean, it's unbelievable. He worked hard. He was using the games and he went from like I said, speaking no English. I'm telling you all that I could say was his name. I was amazed and I'd say, you know, that I like I just want to    Jean Luppino: [00:27:40] I was amazed and I'd say, you know, that I like I just want to   Know he Say,   oh, I read STORYWORLD every night. I love all the stories. I read a lot, and then I'd go, I'd look on  my dashboard and say,oh my god.He went to almost the whole program, you know, and kept going back and read it again and again, and again, and he would practice. And then, you know, what? Well, we were virtual. I would see the mothers coming on when we were talking, they'd say Hi Mrs.Lupino and I said, hi senora and while the they were repeating the mother in the background was repeating Me ropa no me queda! My clothes no fit. Mmm. And then the child would say, don't fit my clothes. Don't fit. Well, actually, yes, Mommy, you could use it to, you're gonna learn a lot of English.    Kristina Signore: [00:28:28] You can review what they did at home and see. Oh, wow, you know, they're having trouble with the vocabulary or they're having trouble with the speaking part and you can kind of adjust your lesson plans to meet the needs of your students.   Kristi Hemingway: [00:28:39] So lots of repetition and low stakes practice.It sounds like   Jean Luppino: [00:28:42] very simple and now because I bragged about this program so much. I really feel it's my Paradigm. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm other teachers and other schools calling me say Jene. Um, can you tell me all about that? I invite them over. I show them. They can't believe how easy it is.    Kristi Hemingway: [00:29:03] So if there are other teachers listening, like the woman you met from Brooklyn and saying, how can I get my hands on this and if their is a teacher whose school maybe doesn't have the budget for it. Or they're not going to do like a whole adoption thing. Who can  use this? Does it have to be district-wide or school-wide? Can it just be that teacher from Brooklyn who just wants to start using it.   Jean Luppino: [00:29:26] Yes, you can have one person use it. It doesn't have to be an entire District. It's very affordable. And I know this STORYWORLD will work with you. So it usually goes one licenses for like one. It doesn't really go by teacher it. By how many students you have?   Kristina Signore: [00:29:43] So like, if you have, I think it's 30    Jean Luppino: [00:29:45] CEO of this company. Really wants the kids to learn. She will bend over backwards to help you and to get it for you. Just remember that, boy who said, look Mrs. Lupino bamboo. He made a connection.  Kristi Hemingway: [00:30:02] Speaking of connections. You can connect to STORYWORLD. All one word at EdCuration.com and get signed up for their 90-day Free trial, in addition to the many new languages being added to the program. They are developing a new line of lesson plans that include Multicultural and social-emotional extensions and links to other video resources. They're also adding new nonfiction stories with more advanced science Concepts and vocabulary. For example, there will be a unit on the migration of the monarch butterfly Super cool. You like, Jene are going to feel like you've won the lottery. Lottery and your students confidence will soar with the butterflies. Now before I sign off, I'd like to remind you personally.

Leave us a comment and we'll get right on it in an upcoming episode of the EdCuration podcast where we're reshaping learning.  

I don't think we need to think too much about what this week's podcast is centered on. Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are launched, in our office, and we definitely have some thoughts. This year, it's not about “to Pixel, or not to Pixel?” Instead, the question really is all about which Pixel is the right one for each users. While I really thought I was all in on the Pixel 6 Pro, after some time using both phones, I might be leaning towards the Pixel 6.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we're still stuck in Pixel 6 land. We warned you that it would be a Pixel party until the 19th and here we sit, just days out from the final unveiling. In the last week, more leaks came up, more specs were verified, and more hype was generated on the way. There were new landing pages discovered and Google has put their live event on YouTube for you to bookmark and get notified of, too. As much as Pixel fever dominates the podcast, there were other things to talk about as well. Most notably, our coverage of Acer's latest press conference along with an exclusive interview with Acer COO Jerry Kao. There are some interesting things brewing at Acer and with 4 new Chromebooks on the way, the Chrome OS train is still running strong.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend some time unpacking the recent – and frankly surprising – jab Apple chose to take at Chromebooks during their latest keynote presentation. In very non-Apple fashion, the company chose to quickly mention Chromebooks when talking about their latest, entry-level iPad and though it was a bit of a misdirection, the fact that they brought up Chromebooks at all is very interesting to say the least. For the second half of the show, we spend more time on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Specifically, we unpack some rumors that have circulated this week surrounding the core makeup of the Tensor SoC we'll know much more about in just a few weeks. While we were all happy enough that Google looks to be delivering a new, custom Tensor chip that should deliver some on-device processing chops we've never had in a Pixel before, we weren't expecting mind-blowing speed. It turns out we may be getting that, too. NOTABLE LINKS New rumor says Google's Pixel 6 Tensor SoC could outperform the Snapdragon 888 Apple's jab at Chromebooks in their iPad keynote is misleading and a little flattering Pixel 6 and Potato Chips: Google Japan posts “crispy” Pixel teaser A mysterious new MediaTek SoC shows up in development for future Chromebooks ------- This episode is sponsored by VIZOR for Chromebooks.

This week on The Chrome Cast, we discuss the new way that Google teased the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro with little warning in a new sizzle video on YouTube. The ad-like, 30-second video doesn't give too much away that we didn't already know, but it did give us the first official looks at the new Pixel phones in the hands of actual humans. Sure, the renders were shown off a bit as well, but it was cool to see the phones in real-world settings and in the possession of real people. We also discuss the new Material You treatment Google announced for many of its own in-house apps that will all culminate in the release of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro later in October, presumably. The second half of the podcast is for all of you interested in Chrome OS tablets. With Lenovo's recently-announced Duet 5, we're seeing more detachable Chromebooks finally show up and we're as curious as ever just what users actually do with these devices. From iPads in keyboard cases to mid-range Chromebook tablets to low end models, there's still a desire for tablets, but what role do they ultimately play in a world with large-screen smartphones and thin/light laptops. If you are into tablets and detachables, this one's for you!

Dr. Joseph Jones is the Superintendent in the New Castle County Vocational-Technical School District. A passion to provide all students an incredible and valuable learning experience Dr. Jones started teaching World and US History in 1996. A few short years later he found himself within the ranks of school administration hoping to make a difference on a larger scale. That desire and pursuit continued as he worked as a principal for seven years striving to reach two major goals: One, give teachers the best scenario to perfect and practice their craft; Two, provide students every opportunity to learn in a secure, enriching environment. As a school they made great strides and received various awards and accolades that enabled them to grow even stronger as a school community. Being the first high school in Delaware to receive the academic achievement award for closing the achievement gap was a hallmark of their relentless pursuit. His efforts continue now in a central office role as he oversees assessment and accountability. The combination of precision, best practices, and passion forges his educational ideals and provides  a clear path to reaching our goals. Educationally, he believes time spent within the walls of schools has been his best teacher.  Dr. T.J.

You have to build mechanisms so that you have opportunities to really know what's going on. The last thing you want is to be disenfranchised from the actual work. The distance between the position and the person sometimes is too great and that is what builds disconnect within.”  -Dr Joseph Jones   “We believe deeply in the educational system. We want leaders to have the tools that  will build a culture in every school that can make it the best that it can be. It's a ‘law of the lid', nothing rises above the capacity of the leader. When you build a leader's capacity to do great things, we're going to have great cultures in schools, and that goes down at the student level.” -Dr TJ Vari   Full Transcript Dr Joe and Dr TJ Transcript   Dr Joseph Jones and Dr TJ Varia's Resources & Contact Info: Building a Winning Team: Retention for a Change Blog:theschoolhouse302 Dr. TJ Vari-LinkedIn T.J.

This week, as I wallowed through director board bios, I stumbled on a stupid question: which do you think investors prefer, board members with PhDs? Or board members with executive experience? Or maybe both? Turns out, I was wrong either way.

Craig's experience as a counselor, coach, teacher, and principal set him up perfectly to develop a model of teacher observation focused on building trusting relationships that spark teaching and learning growth. As the author of Trust-Based Observations, Craig is on a mission to change the world of teacher observations to a model of support that fosters risk-taking, innovation, and creativity.  Driven to transform the world of teacher evaluation and observation through Trust-based Observations. When leaders build trust with their teachers such that they feel safe, then those teachers will embrace the vulnerability necessary to take big risks in their practice, the result is teaching and learning growth.   Show Highlights Master the 20 min observation  Break the feedback observation cycle  Broaden your lens as a novice admin is a veteran move Dinosaur Instructors make traditional ruckus  Build trust to foster risk-taking, innovation, & growth  Magic happens in reflective conversation Expand rubric indicators of what effective teaching is  Tips and tricks to build trust during observations Trust-Based Observation transforms the entire culture    “One, teaching is craft and art. There are a million different ways that you can be a teacher. There's not just one way that you can be a teacher. Two, patience. Take time to get to know your teachers because you will see different elements out of them. You don't want to make a mistake and offer a suggestion on something that might be a strength that you don't realize is.”  -Craig Randall   Full Transcript Craig Randall Transcript   Craig Randall’s Resources & Contact Info:   Trust-Based Observations Trust Based Twitter LinkedIn     Looking for more?

Dr. Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. began his tenure as the eleventh Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) in September 2015. He is the first African American chancellor to lead a non-HBCU in the UNC System. Chancellor Gilliam brings to UNCG a wealth of experience from a career that spans more than 30 years in higher education. During that time, he was Dean of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs as well as a longtime Professor of Public Policy and Political Science at UCLA, where his research focused on strategic communications, public policy, electoral politics, and racial and ethnic politics. At UNCG, Dr. Gilliam has not only led the campus to record growth, but has also helped build a solid foundation for a very bright future at the university -- from working with legislators to secure funding for a $105M STEM building; to establishing a Millennial Campus designation, which will create the conditions that will drive growth in areas like health and wellness and the creative and performing arts; to increasing diversity among faculty and administration; and to working with leaders on this campus and beyond on innovative student success initiatives which have been lauded by national foundations and press. UNC Greensboro is one of the seventeen campuses of The University of North Carolina, the birthplace of public higher education in America. Administered by President Peter Hans and overseen by The UNC Board of Governors, each campus is headed by its own chancellor and Board of Trustees. The Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina elected Dr. Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr., as the eleventh Chancellor of UNC Greensboro (UNCG) on May 22, 2015. Chancellor Gilliam brings to UNCG and the UNC System a wealth of experience from a career that spans more than 30 years in higher education. He took office on September 8, 2015. During his tenure, UNCG has surpassed a record 20,000 students; grown its endowment, research enterprise, and overall facilities and campus infrastructure; significantly increased its fundraising; and elevated the presence, reputation, and real-world impact of the largest university in the North Carolina Triad region. Prior to this appointment, Dr. Gilliam served as Dean of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs for seven years and was a longtime UCLA Professor of Public Policy and Political Science. His research focused on strategic communications, public policy, electoral politics, and racial and ethnic politics. As Dean of UCLA Luskin, Dr. Gilliam shepherded a $50 million naming gift and launched and executed an ambitious strategic plan and capital campaign, establishing the school as a regional leader in addressing and finding solutions to some of society’s most pressing problems. VISIONARY AND CIVIC LEADER Dr. Gilliam has not only led UNCG to record growth, but he has also helped build a solid foundation for a very bright future at the university. In his first year at UNCG, Dr. Gilliam worked with board members and key leaders to assure UNCG’s inclusion on the Connect NC bond referendum, which voters ultimately passed, securing $105 million in funding for a new nursing and STEM building. The new building is scheduled to open by Spring 2021. He worked with campus leaders to secure a transformative gift from community leader and philanthropist Tobee Kaplan, who donated $5 million to name the Leonard J. Kaplan Center for Wellness. The gift is only the third of this size in UNCG’s history. Dr. Gilliam led the effort to secure Millennial Campus designation from its Board of Governors, creating the conditions that will drive growth in areas like health and wellness and the creative and performing arts for years to come on campus and in the broader community. Dr. Gilliam is a senior fellow with the FrameWorks Institute (winner of the 2015 MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions), where he has contributed to research and training on health care, racial equity, early child development, youth and rural issues, and criminal justice. In 2018, he was named chair of the NCAA Division I Presidential Forum. Additionally, he serves on the boards of the Union Square Campus, Gateway University Research Park, North Carolina Campus Compact, and the FrameWorks Institute, as well as the Executive Committee for the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities. AWARD-WINNING EDUCATOR Prior to his appointment as Dean at UCLA, Dr. Gilliam served as the inaugural Associate Vice Chancellor of Community Partnerships in the University of California system from 2002 to 2008. As Associate Vice Chancellor, he championed UCLA’s civic engagement by supporting engaged scholarship and community collaborations to improve the quality of life for residents of Los Angeles. Dr. Gilliam is the author of Farther to Go: Readings and Cases in African-American Politics (Harcourt Brace), and his work has been published in many leading academic journals. He is frequently interviewed or cited by national and international news outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, The Huffington Post, and the BBC. Dr. Gilliam was honored with the 2015 Upton Sinclair Award by the Liberty Hill Foundation for his renowned work advancing civic engagement and commitment to issues of equity. Twice nominated for UCLA’s Luckman Distinguished Teaching Award, he has also taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Grinnell College, and the University of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, and was a Visiting Scholar at Brandeis University. In addition, he taught at Columbia University, Fisk University, and — with former Vice President Al Gore — at Middle Tennessee State University. In 2017, Dr. Gilliam was named by Triad Business Journal as one of the region’s Most Admired CEOs — a group of top executives recognized for exceptional leadership in business, and for their philanthropic endeavors. Dr. Gilliam received his B.A. from Drake University and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Iowa. Dr. Gilliam has been married for 26 years to Jacquelean (“Jacquie”) Gilliam, most recently the Executive Director of Scholarships & Student Support Initiatives and Campus-Wide Initiatives at UCLA and now a philanthropic consultant and active community volunteer and leader. They are parents to Ariel Gilliam and Franklin D. “Trey” Gilliam, III.   Show Highlight Results of the Great turnaround of Moss Street Partnership How to lead without  the built in advantages Integrated Student Success Model is #1 in NC using these essential questions  Inclusive Excellence- More access doesn’t mean less quality Discipline and creativity can coexist with this leadership attribute Improve the life chances for children by teaching the art of being a student Tips to block out the noise and pressure to bend to the mean Avoid toxic inefficient teachers by hiring these 3 attributes “I turned to one of my staff members and I said, "these kids just don't have a chance in hell."

For us to do our best, to speak to it, regardless of how uncomfortable we are. The only wrong way to do this work is not to do it. We need to understand that mistakes will be made. It's good for us to be humble about that because people like humility. We don't want perfection. We don't want you to be perfect. We can't see ourselves in perfection, but when people make mistakes and are able to take ownership of that mistake and then just learn from it, that's how we learn and grow. Yes, mistakes will be made, but we need to see the pain of our students, the trauma of our students, and then also do our best to facilitate opportunities for joy.” - Sharla Stevens   Full Transcript Sharla Stevens Transcript   Sharla Stevens’ Resources & Contact Info: healingracisminschools@gmail.com Schedule a call with Sharla to make an anti-racism action plan for the school year here: https://calendly.com/healingracism/30min?month=2021-02 Playbook-for-the-white-anti-racist-educator-5-steps-towards-antiracism Sharla Stevens and The Ancestors - | Facebook LinkedIn   Looking for more?
