Ensuring that Every Student’s Voice is Heard

In this two hour, hands on session, participants will blend both digital and in-class techniques to increase student participation in collaboration and discussion. Participants will role-play protocols to improve student conversations that can be used the next day! During this session participants will learn methods to launch student podcasts, rock video responses using flipgrid, and explore ways to both create and capture student voice. This session is applicable K-12 and appropriate for all levels.

What I notice, what I wonder

Step 2: Take it digital

First: Read a paragraph

Dark spruce forest frowned on either side of the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness — a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the Sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild.
