ShiftinEdu is a summit for forward thinkers on November 9 and 10, 2017 in Miami. We gather thought leaders and educators from all over the world and empower them to be influencers in their own communities. The focus of the summit is to drive innovation in education through leveraging new methodologies and technologies in learning.
#ShiftinEdu
Our kids will be at odds with reality, overthink math, suck at English, identify as a pansexual horse-badger, hate finacial Independence, and get stabbed or acid attacked. If white, they'll just get hated.
It’s an amazing privilege to be an educator.
Always aware I may spend more time with some Ss than their parents.

At #ShiftinEdu? Join me at 11am in Mahogany Room to find out what Top12 #TopTechToys have been chosen! Learn all about play and the newest #edtech toys for learning!
Having an amazing time at #ShiftinEdu with @maya_staresinic! Started our day off with a run by the marina - now, listening to @drrobertbrooks speak about resilience and student motivation!
Starting off our 2 days with @ShiftinEdu ! Little bit of motivation and resilience in students to start off our morning with @drrobertbrooks#ShiftinEDU
Think of your top 3 positive and challenging experiences as an educator - it will tell you a lot about yourself and your expectations based on how you reflect on those moments @drrobertbrooks#ShiftinEdu
Mindsets play a powerful role in impacting on all aspects of the climate and how we reach and teach children. @drrobertbrooks Absolutely! Love how our school day starts with popular/themed/timely music welcoming students in the halls. Always gets me excited! #ShiftinEdu
One of the most affirming moments Ss recall about school is ‘when they were called on to help’.
Great take away for teaching and learning at #ShiftinEdu
How do you make a positive difference in this school? Ask staff and kids. People work better when they feel they are making a positive difference in the lives of others. @drrobertbrooks#ShiftinEdu
Want to build a positive school climate? Make the students part of the process. Interpersonal relationships and SEL are important. #ShiftinEdu#growthmindset
@drrobertbrooks It is so wonderful to hear your message of how signifiant a role connections, relationships and positive emotions have on staff and students. I’m sure everyone here couldn’t agree more!!! #shiftinedu
The reinforcement of positive emotions and purpose in both staff and students plays a significant role in how effectively teachers teach and students learn. @drrobertbrooks What is your school's mindset? #ShiftinEdu
Need morning motivation. “Look in the mirror and say ‘today I may say or do something that will change a child’s life forever, and I may not even know it.’” @drrobertbrooks 😍🙌
#shiftinEDU
A charismatic adult? What impact do you make? I️ am grateful for @cypresscreekvcs and the students I️ am privileged to work with every day. #ShiftInEdu

“Have you said thank you to a charismatic adult in your life?”
Think about what good that could do @drrobertbrooks
Spread the positivity at #shiftinEDU
When staff meets the basic needs of students first: to belong and feel connected, have autonomy and self-determination, need to feel competent-then students are motivated to learn. #ShiftinEdu

How do we create “motivating environments” that nuture learning, engagement, intrinsic motivation, self-discipline? Need to belong/feel connected, have self determination/autonomy in learning and feel competent. @drrobertbrooks Absolutely applies to staff & students! #shiftinedu
Thanks for bringing forward the link between mistakes/fear of failure and humiliation. It’s a powerful, relational concept for Tchs to consider empathetically. @drrobertbrooks#shiftinEDU
Learning how to be a charismatic educator and instilling a resilient mindset in students from @drrobertbrooks Our first role as educators is to create positive relationships with students and help students feel that they belong #ShiftinEdu

Do you remember a "charismatic adult" in your life? Remember to empower Ss, give them strength, and encourage them. A charismatic adult WILL make a difference in a child's life! @drrobertbrooks#ShiftinEdu
Tey exposing goals and obstacles up front - @drrobertbrooks
Agree, and would add ‘opportunities’, and highlight non-linear potential surprises, ‘happy accidents’, discoveries etc. #shiftinEDU
Our #ShiftinEdu is providing #OHLA students with the opportunity to continue their studies in American universities without the need for TOEFL or IELTS!

Excited to learn from @Apple Sharyn & Chris leading our teaching and creating session. #shiftinEDU brings the best speakers for PD & make it happen in the classroom @Schamay62
How can we shift students from cosumers of YouTube (a billion hours of content is watched on YouTube everyday) to creators of content? #ShiftinEdu@kylepace
Breakout #1 YouTube - Work Smarter. Create Harder. In one of those most beautiful classrooms I’ve ever been in. @kylepace#shiftinedu Learning how to move students from solely consumers to producers of content. Esepecially since 1 billion hours are watched every day.

What is the ratio of consumption to creation in your classroom? As adults we constantly create- how are we preparing students? Importance of choice in learning & #designthinking#shiftinedu@ajjuliani
The game of school: if you make the adults at school happy, the adults at home are happy
How can we make sure kids have opportunities to create their own learning path instead of just playing the game? @ajjuliani#ShiftinEdu
Students that do well in the game of school struggled with the freedom of design thinking. Shared out their learning (and thinking) DURING
the project, not just sharing a polished project at the end #constructivism@ajjuliani#ShiftinEdu
Awesome assignment idea - create a collaborative playlist for a topic within YouTube for frontloading. Can set up restrictions if you’re worried about content with #googleclassroom. @kylepace#shiftinedu
Game changer Apple Classroom @cypresscreekvcs managing the class iPads without a dongle and all! Can’t wait to try it out Monday morning. #ottersmatter#shiftinedu
Awesome assignment idea - create a collaborative playlist for a topic within YouTube for frontloading. Can set up restrictions if you’re worried about content @kylepace#shiftinedu
Screencasts - great way to start producing content on YouTube without necessarily being “in” the video. @kylepace#ShiftinEdu@screencasto looks like a good option
Amazing showcase using Clips in iOS11 #shiftinedu keeps it fresh and exciting in the classroom. Now I️ am off to create my 1st clip...what will it be? @Schamay62
🔎 Two fantastic conferences are happening today and tomorrow: Shift in Edu & Georgia #EdTech.
Heres' how to input and save a search that includes either the #ShiftinEdu or the #GaETC17 hashtag...
Thank you so much Sharyne for my Aha moment in the @Apple session. Clips will be a #gamechanger in my classroom. #shiftinedu is lucky to have you here!👏🏼
Excellent session on Design Thinking and Launch with AJ Juliano. Biggest takeaway - Moving beyond empathy as the only starting point. #shiftinedu@ShiftinEdu
The biggest and most positive #ShiftinEdu I can imagine would be ending the failed policy of test-based accountability. The misuse and overuse of standardized testing is not only counter productive but abusive.

Rick Funes & Andres Joubert tip in Makerfication. Use a live reward system & leaderboard during challenges to encourage & motivate! #shiftinedu@ShiftinEdu
Had an awesome lunch with @thelivbits who shared some of her favorite ways to learn to code! Can't wait to share her ideas with my students!! #ShiftinEdu#CodinginSchools
My thanks for the lovely comments about my keynote at the #ShiftinEdu conference and to St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School in Miami for sponsoring it. Wonderful audience and wonderful speakers.
That is not true, or it's a falsifiable generalization. Example: I excelled--via
"A" marks since childhood through BA/MS/JD, and creative designing--plus organized sports etc.
#ShiftInEdu: More care required to extinguish misleading standardized info.

Breakout #3 Write On - Steps for Writing - Start with why, plan it out, do it, publish, market. @sarahdateechur Looking forward to writingand publishing my next book with students! #shiftinedu
If only all schools operated this way. Pet peeve: too many forget the only reason we have jobs is because of the students, so we need to put our clients first. #ShiftInEDU
Gamification? Need a “promotional video”, theme, setting, characters, action, goal, “mission choices”, mini games, currency, authentic audience with content, challenge, choice which results in creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and ENGAGEMENT! @tishrich#shiftinedu
Some amazing teamwork & problem solving during the #Makerfication session at #ShiftinEdu.Talk about engagement... by adults! Thank you for all who attended.
Clearly this was a fantastic first day at #ShiftinEdu! Fantastic presenters, “mindshifting” topics, wonderful company, new virtual friends, delicious food - the list goes on! @SSEDSorg@ShiftinEdu Thank you for the unbelievable hospitality!

@ZepedaDelia you are a kindred spirit #ShiftinEdu will always hold a special place in my heart after meeting you in your classroom today. I promise to send pictures & you can expect a thank you note from my son. He will be so excited to receive your gift.
Building strong "collegial" relationships is where innovation and change start to happen. Let's make a culture of it! Amazing session by @vabostick & @miamiEDguru at #ShiftinEdu. #gslearning
Amazing... @ajjuliani filled the house 4 times and unleashed so much info & great takeaways, all in one day at #ShiftinEdu! We all left better than when we entered. Make sure to check out his book Launch on #DesignThinking and #MakeEd.
She told us about various iPad apps, the best for beginners being @Minecraft and working their way up to #snowboardparty and how she got motivated to learn to code! #ShiftinEDU

This is the reason that I'll be awake all night long. As always, my best presentations are the result of equal parts: procrastination and inspiration https://t.co/BMl4yxj8KU#shiftinedu
The power of the visual image and experiential learning - kids valued by vision. Great ideas @KristinZiemke
I see me, therefore I am (important) #ShiftinEdu

https://t.co/FVeAuB7vpx Looking forward to exploring this resource and using others as “empathy machines”. Great opportunities for students to share their story! 6 word story is a great way to begin. @KristinZiemke#shiftinedu#ahamoment
I agree, @KristinZiemke - We ARE made for story. Our stories, can change minds and hearts... and that can change the world. Great positive presentation 🙏 #ShiftinEdu
“Let’s teach children that even the biggest problems in the world are a series of small problems strung together.... like code.”
Yes 😍
Like art.
@lindaliukas speaking my language/speaking to my heART. 🙌 #shiftinEDU
Day two #ShiftinEdu in underway and I've already lost track of how many exceptionally inspiring people I've and met and conversations I've had. @NurevaEducation is honored to be a sponsor for this outstanding bi-annual conference. Hope they invite us back in 2019

Rooted in #coding is computational thinking. How do you create experiences that go deeper than just learning logic and procedures and transform learning into creation? @lindaliukas#ShiftinEdu
What happens in a world where we don’t have the vocabulary (around technology), or worse, we we don’t understand the vocabulary. Our job is to come up with ways to explain this world. First computers in the world were humans.
@lindaliukas#shiftinedu
‘Be excellent to each other and do bad ass work’ = best job title ever. @kalebrashad from High Tech High describes his job as making sure kids know he loves them.
Love that.
#ShiftinEdu
Try to stay away from dumpster projects. What are the issues in our community (homelessness, environmental issues) and how can we design learning experiences around them? It’s about the human connection. @kalebrashad#shiftinedu#hightechhigh#sseds
Cool concept - avoiding ‘dumpster projects’ - that stuff that lives on the fridge for a while, soon forgotten, rather than learning that results in impact. Meaningful work. @kalebrashad describing ‘bad ass work’ as ‘contributing’ 😍 #ShiftinEdu
Make sure the kids know you love them. Move students from presenting info that fulfils a requirement to creating new information that can change the world. @kalebrashad#ShiftinEdu
Preach it @kalebrashad! Taking us to church this morning at #shiftinedu 🔛kids who ask courageous questions, who dream, & who exude joy on this learning journey! (and we're in a church!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽)
Project learning is a way to hook students si they will find their Ikigai--a Japanese meaning for a reason for being--their voice, their standing and their purpose.@kalebrashad#ShiftinEdu
Inquiry is a way to hook students to help them find their Ikigai--a Japanese meaning for a reason for being--their voice, their standing and their purpose.@kalebrashad#ShiftinEdu
High Tech High's Director of "bad ass work" @kalebrashad preaching creating a shift from COMPLIANCE to INNOVATION in education. The question posed: Are the conditions we want for our Ss the same conditions/culture created for the Ts? #ShiftinEdu

Why use emojis as bullets...
👁 Visually reinforces each item
🖼 Helps illustrate ideas
😍 Provides visual interest
💭 More memorable
🤔 Shows thought & understanding
🎉 More fun than boring dots
⁉️ Why not?!
#gaetc17#ShiftinEdu
What a beautiful space to learn!!! With @KristinZiemke Using volume, choice and response, with technology. “Just-right” books become “just-right” tools. Biggest #ahamoment is how important it is to shift the content sharing from me to my students. #ShiftinEdu
Great idea - explain what you are trying to do to someone before you ask a question related to the problem - might help you find the fix. #coding#shiftinEDU
8 Apps to start with - Thinking about how I can use technology anchor charts in the classroom @KristinZiemke - thank you for multiple aha moments! Fantastic session! #ShiftinEdu
Information packed presentation. "If a child can't learn the way we teach, we should teach the way they learn." I feel so inspired to try a wealth of resources. #ShiftinEdu
Getting down and personal with attendees on student portfolios at #ShiftinEdu! The amazing @TanyaAvrith showing us, first hand, how to create digital portfolios.
We’re so so excited to have met @lindaliukas, the author of #HelloRuby - some of the most amazing coding books that we’ve read! We love seeing women who are making a huge impact on the STEAM community #ShiftInEDU#EDUCATION#coding#STEAM
Taking group of kids to Skills USA last summer and one mom cried and told me I was taking a piece of her heart so please take good care of him. Powerful message I hadn't thought about. Humbling #ShiftInEDU
Thank you @ingewassmann and @ShiftinEdu for the invitation to present this year! Everyone should mark their calendars for the next event 10.24-25.19 #ShiftinEdu 💻☀️📱💡🎨
An amazing 2 days of learning, growing, innovating, and thinking forward at #ShiftinEdu. Special thanks to @ingewassmann and the #SSEDS crew for putting together such a great event. Driving home already looking ahead to the next one!
Thanks @TriciaWhenham@ #ShiftinEdu is a stellar event! The team at St.Stephen's School does such amazing work and clearly does it all out of love. I have never experienced anything quite like it
Big takeaway / conclusion from #ShiftinEdu conf. We got into our area to do badass work. When we feel like we're being crushed, go throw a log on the fire that feeds our soul. cc: @kalebrashad
Take away from #ShiftinEdu Inquiry is messy. S's and T's should embrace play together. The story of the inquiry and results... Equally important. cc: @art_cathyhunt@KristinZiemke
