8. "- the virtual connection
- authentic partnerships
- resources required such as time, furniture,
devices
- student voice needs to be a driver of learning
- learning partnerships with peers, teacher, home
plays into the learning environment
- relevant and rigorous learning is individualized
for students
- environment needs to be created intentionally
- view environment as a learning space
- physical needs"

9. "Co-constructing deep learning tasks with families.
Developing partnerships of mutual benefit"

10. This isn't as new as I thought, there are
some freshly minted terms, but the concepts
are present in our schools now. I would
guess that a majority of teachers could point
to ways they are already doing this.
NB: beware confirmation bias

11. "There are many elements of
pedagogical practice listed in the
accelerating category:
- research proven model
- learning goals
-personalized learning
- choice
- authentic tasks
- students as partners in learning design process
- peer feedback/ self feedback
- criteria
- varying complexity of learning tasks
- student centred learning
- promote metacognition and self monitoring
- family support
These all need un-packing and exemplars with how
this might look in our classrooms with diverse needs."

12. "Skype activities.
Moving away from CPU labs.
Use of software for substitution that would
be done without tech.
Fast forward is an example of learning
responsiveness to individual performance.
Teacher knowing where to redirect student
learning based on curriculum.
Project based learning beyond the
classroom. Connecting to other learning
around the world.
Practical implications of putting this theory
into practice. “
"- Building on the SAMR model (reminder)
- using the technology to ""hook"" students
to deepen their own learning"

15. First Turn/Last Turn
The First Turn: In turn, share one of your ideas/quotes
don’t comment on it.Here’s the tricky part:
Group members comment in round-robin order
no cross-talkHere’s the tricky part:
The Last Turn: Initiator now shares their thinking.
Repeat The Process

"Learning Partnerships
- making connections to experts both from the environment & industry
Learning Environments
- local connections - ie Shoal lake, MB Hydro
- making it relevant
Pedagogical Practices
- moving from teacher directed to student driven
Leveraging Digital
- real world feedback (publish online)
- Skype interviews
- differentiation
Using the internet as a vehicle to move students from a research based
inquiry, to real world connection and relevance"

into this project?

Δs
"- differentiated collaborative groupings
- flexible learning environments
- inquiry learning
- co-construction of topic choices
- career exploration - interviewing expert"

Δs"Learning partnerships
- ask an expert
- consulting with people who know about the topic adds richness to the learning
- either face to face or virtually
Learning environments
- add an open topic to the list
- underscores the opportunity for student voice,choice, relevance, and activating personal connection
and experiences
Pedagogical practices
- add cycles of self and peer feedback
- not only to take advantage of feedback on ""am I on the right track"", but also to intentionally check
your thinking (metacognitive goals)
- establishing habits of mind
Leveraging digital
- enable many more technology resources
- e.g. Videoconferencing, topographical maps
- developing digital skills, promoting creativity, etc."

"Learning Partnerships - engage the use of experts...make connections to
the community
Learning Environments - aim for diverse learning spaces that meet the
needs of different students.
Pedagogical Practices - student voice in creation of topic choices, and in
co-constructing rubrics.
Leveraging Digital - getting the many perspectives around an issue,
creating opinions from that and applying it to my life and how I live."

Δs
"Learning Partnerships - accessing community groups so that learning is
mutually beneficial...a true partnership
Pedagogical Practices - more authenticity with co-constructed criteria,
flexibility
Learning Environments - start with a local scene (MB) and culminate with a
global passion project
Leveraging Digital - To use digital as a tool that will enhance all aspects of
inquiry-based learning with a goal of independance and confidence"

Δs" - having the students generate list
- have teachers meet and collaborate

- tapping into experts in person or via Skype
- learning environment - relevance of actual activity - introductory activity -
look at wasting water in Manitoba - Shoal Lake, Fort Whyte
- family connections that make water relevant
- connections to themselves
- local water treatment plants
- ask an expert
- connect to career explorations"

Δs
"- hands on
- digital -connect with experts and others from around the world
- Authentic - include co-constructing criteria
