Jennifer shared the Hunt library: not a dream library, but an aspirational library. We can replicate a lot of what we like there!

Students EXPERIENCE the library

CREATE not consume

Student VOICE

Value PLAY

Make the library SELFIE_WORTHY

You can write on everything

You can collaborate serendipitously

The tech doesn't matter. What matters is the process.
The future is not a concept; it is a reality.
Somebody at your school is waiting for you to be their super hero!

Patrice's admin: Stop talking about what you are going to fix; start talking about what you are going to create.

Compliance is the last resort, the minimum. We try to go bigger and better.

Chose district-wide learning theme: hunger

I just learned about this amazing fab lab in a webinar Sunday night with educators from Hawaii--Iolani Fab Lab K-6 /

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I recently returned from Melbourne, Australia and the Teach Tech Play Conference. Started a few years ago, "TeachTechPlay is a professional learning community inspiring learning through empowerment and connection." The conference is billed as, "two days of conversation, inspiration and practical strategies to enhance the teaching and learning in your classroom or school."

The conference was that and so much more. Over the course of the two days, there were 3 great keynote speakers, numerous sessions to attend and an ending student keynote. I met a lot of talented educators and returned home with my head full of things to try and a renewed excitement for the remaining days of school. Here are a couple of the highlights for me:

Keynote speakers...
Kasey Bell: "Learning happens in the messiness."
Emily MacLean: "Courageous change is a mindset."
Tom Barrett: "We should be students of innovation."

Sessions attended...
3D Paint and Mixed Reality with Windows 10 with Trent Ray
This is a great tool to work with and Trent did a wonderful job explaining it and get us started. Since we use Apples in here at 'Iolani, I hope they have a similar program. If not, I'm gonna have to get a few Windows computers.
Creativity across the curriculum areas: Stop-Motion with Cathy Hunt
I have never tried stop-motion video before but I am hooked. My mind started swimming with ways to use this with all grade levels. The session was well run, we were engaged and I didn't want the session to end. Cathy is an amazing teacher.

Drone Coding with Ben Lannen
Another thing I have never used is a drone. Sure I've tried my hand at Sphero and Dash & Dot but never a flying drone. Ben started by telling us how he uses drones in his class and then he got us flying. Math, cooperative learning, directionality, problem-solving, science...all happened as we tried to get this little drone to fly where we wanted. His class must be a whirl-wind of learning.

Playing with littleBits with James Colbert
I have used littleBits a lot, but James brought some of the new sets that I had never played with. It reminded me how much fun it is to tinker with circuits. It was also great to talk to him about how they run the makerspace in his school. I love to pick the brain of talented educators like James.

Girls can do anything with Becky Glenton
The things Becky's students are doing are wonderful...I really like the digital reporters who do a quick video review of the week. She also shared some resources like "Sum Blocks" and the "GeoFrog" app. She also told a story about the importance of going through a struggle, based on what happens to a caterpillar when it turns into a butterfly. I gotta find that book and read it to my students.

I also had the privilege to be at TeachTechPlay Conference as a presenter. I ran two sessions, one called "Intro to Maker Education" which was in a 50 minute slot. This session focused on the philosophy and rational behind maker education. The second was "All Things Maker Ed" which was a 2hour "deeper dive" into not only the why, but the how we "do" maker education at 'Iolani school.

The conference ended with some of the students from the host school (Ivanhoe Grammar) presenting apps they are designing to help students unplug from their digital devices. What a talented group of young people.

Lastly, thanks to Eleni, Steve and Corey. They did a great job in making the TeachTechPlay Conference happen...while at the same time being full-time teachers. I hope to return to TTP and would encourage any teacher wanting to bring innovation to their classroom to make your way "down under" for this event in the future.

And you don't have to wait till the 2019 conference to get in on TeachTechPlay, check out teachtechplay.com with their monthly webshow and blog.

There is a vast array of tools out there that can be used to establish a presence and get everyone connected. We need to think outside of the box--don't stress about "how to use the tools" but rather focus on the power and effectiveness of the communication. Model the creative solving of these problems.
