New York City Metro Summit

Many classroom are adopting the concept of a 20% time project where students drive what they want to learn.
My Marine Bio students are given the opportunity to design a project that connects their future career w/ the ocean. They are given 20% of their time (through class and HW assignments) to complete this project. Come learn how to have students write proposals, create student-generated rubrics, set weekly goals and then self-assess. My Regents Biology class also is given time to design Presentations of their alignment of our curriculum with a personal interest. This maximizes learning without interrupting instructional time. Learn how to manage over 60 different projects using Google Classroom and Google Docs to "meet" with each student weekly both in the classroom and online.  

In this session you'll learn how to prepare for online assessments, receive tips for optimizing your network, and learn about the features of Chromebooks that allow it to meet your testing requirements.

This presentation is dedicated to tooling-up participants with free, flexible building blocks for the redesign of teaching and learning.

Come learn about “Add-ons” such as Doctopus and Goobric that extend the free and cloud-based Google Apps for EDU (GAFE) platform. These tools will help you automate your work load and create personalized systems for your school. A direct link to our work is located at cloudlab.newvisions.org.
