Welcome to Johnston County Public Schools IGNITE2018 Symposium! We are excited to embark on this journey with you. This year’s event is designed around 4 Quests. Our hope is that if you follow a Quest over the 2 days your understanding will be deepened and you will find more relevance to your practice. There are 3 kinds of sessions: Connect (Edcamp style sessions) Learn (content delivery sessions) Innovate (implementation planning sessions). Begin by selecting one of 4 Quest Options:
SBTL (Standards Based Teaching and Learning)
CORE (CORE Instruction)
Learner Agency
Learner Centered Practices
Here is a link to the Quest Cards that might be helpful in seeing the specific sessions by Quest.
To begin crafting your quest you will need to follow these steps.
Step 1: Select all your required sessions (filter by "All Quests" to see these options) - Opening, Lunch, Toolbox, Innovate and Closing Sessions
Step 2: Select your Learn sessions, please use the "filter by type" option on the right hand side to help you plan the remainder of your quest by topic.
IMPORTANT NOTE: some options are in multiple quests - they are denoted on the quest cards, but to see those in sched you will need to use the filter that says "Multiple Quests." Pick from those first, they will fill up fast.
Step 3: In order to earn the 1.5 Digital Learning Competencies, your schedule should include 1 Connect, 5 Learn Sessions and 1 Innovate session (Note: you must also submit an artifact of implementation and a brief reflection after the symposium)
Description: Creating Bookworms in a Digital Age - First , we will discuss the why using research behind using a reader’s workshop framework. Next, we will use a pathway to explore what the Reader’s Workshop framework looks like. Participants will learn the parts and purpose for each section in the lesson. A pathway will provide opportunities for choice to learn about each section through a variety of ways to access the information. They will experience this model through video, articles, and examples as they move through the pathway. Finally, our session will generate ownership by having participates share out using Seesaw, Padlet or Flipgrid. Rationale: Ignite the wonder of reading in every child. Instilling a passion for reading in every child is the hope after exploring methods outlined in the Reader’s Workshop model. Participants will connect with the power of conferring to enhance personalized learning and encourage a desire to connect with authors and other readers through digital tools. Teachers will investigate how to lead all students in becoming active participants in setting educational goals, managing learning and assessing their progress through digital tools.
