Welcome Welcome to Virginia’s world famous Technology in Education conference. Using this tool to mark your personal scheduling preferences does not reserve a seat for marked sessions, nor does it register you for the conference. We do not plan to have paper programs available on site. If you would like a printed program, please print a personal copy prior to arriving at the conference.
Project Based Learning, Standards Based Grading, Gamification - all buzzwords for state-of-the-art education. But have we been on this train ride before? How frequently have you heard (or thought) as an educator, “Oh we’ve done this before.” New initiatives are old ideas dressed up with new names. But are they really? Or can changing the words we use help transition learning from the steam engine to a bullet train?This session will be an interactive discussion on how the choice of vocabulary to describe a pedagogy or concept can shift tracks and create a change in perception for both the learner and the educator. We will use Pear Deck’s Flashcard Factory to build the discussion as a group and provide take-aways for future discussions.
