SUMMARY:Fast-tracking Digital Equity in Education during COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:NIST Education SuperCluster\nNIST Education SuperClusterNST\nJoin federal and national stakeholders on facing the frontlines of digital equity. \nThere is a digital divide in the United States’ education system which can be both exasperated and addressed through technological innovation. COVID-19 has further stressed this system and laid bare the technical inequities of our local communities and cities. As stakeholders across our country face the frontlines of the digital divide\, we need tangible and practical examples to address the situation at hand while considering long-term strategies that can act as a forcing function to improve connectivity. \nJoin a panel of federal\, state\, county and municipal authorities and leaders from the US Department of Education\, Link Oregon\, Albemarle County of Virginia\, Albemarle County Public Schools\, The Enterprise Center of City of Chattanooga\, and NIST to discuss the issues\, considerations and strategies across urban and rural America on how to strategize your digital equity plans. This panel and event is hosted by the Education SuperCluster\, a consortium of public and private organizations developing best practices for education innovation in smart cities. We were born out of the NIST Global City Teams Challenge. \nShare your concerns\, questions\, and expertise with us as we discuss\, discover\, and connect with our digital equity frontliners to create a smart and connected society across all communities. Join us as we take advantage of the opportunity presented by social distancing to improve the connectivity of student\, disadvantaged\, and disenfranchised community members through the lens of education. \nAgenda: \nNIST Education SuperCluster Overview\nPanel Introductions\nFacilitated Q&A\nAudience Q&A\nContinuing the conversation on Discord.com (link to be provided during event)\nPanelists: \nShannan Williams\, Co-Chair of NIST Education SuperCluster\, National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) (Moderator)\nSara Trettin\, Policy Advisor\, U.S. Department of Education (Washington DC)\nSteve Corbató\, Executive Director\, Link Oregon (Portland\, Oregon)\nMike Culp\, IT Director\, County of Albemarle (Charlottesville\, Virginia)\nChristine Diggs\, Chief Technology Officer\, Albemarle County Public Schools (Charlottesville\, Virginia)\nDebra Socia\, Executive Director\, The Enterprise Center (Chattanooga\, Tennessee)\nSuperCluster leadership members in attendance: \nShannan Williams\, Co-Chair\, NIST Education SuperCluster\nDerick Lee\, Co-Chair\, NIST Education SuperCluster\nAnn Marcus\, Marcus Consulting & Link Oregon\nMeghan Manley\, MITRE\nDeborah Acosta\, Formerly City of San Leandro\nAnthony Hinojosa\, Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE)\nJason Ebner\, Antioch Unified School District\nJerry Chang\, City of East Palo Alto\nMichael Beck\, Founder\, Code for Kids\nGary Dennis\, Department of Homeland Security\nSokwoo Rhee\, National Institute of Standards & Technology\nMark Reynolds\, University of New Mexico\nJon Walton\, San Mateo County\nAlex Huppenthal\, Aspen AI

SUMMARY:Unschooled: documentary screening
DESCRIPTION:Unschooled is a documentary film focused on a world where children have the power to decide what and how they learn. The film follows the story of three teens – Amani\, Miles and Jaya – and their families in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Germantown as they transition from public school to the newly-opened Natural Creativity Center (NCC). NCC believes in trusting young people and their families to decide on the content that is of value and importance to them. When Amani\, Miles and Jaya enroll at NCC\, these radical ideas are put to the test. \nJoin us after the film for a panel discussion with Co-Director Rachel Beth Anderson\, facilitators\, parents and students from Natural Creativity and other education experts.

SUMMARY:Shapes in Nature (Part 2) - Learning in the Making: LIVE!
DESCRIPTION:Learning in the Making: LIVE! Join Maker Ed for “Shapes in Nature\, Part 2” on May 13 at 1:00 PM PST at bit.ly/MakerEdLIVE \nEach week we are collecting and curating resources around a topic and the next two weeks are about structural engineering—buildings constructed by animals (May 6) and humans (May 11)! \nJoin us in Learning in the Making: LIVE! This will be a two part series with special guest educators from the Lawrence Hall of Science! \nPart Two on May 13: Design It\, Build It with Newspaper Dowels \nAfter exploring shapes in nature to build a shelter\, we will continue using newspaper dowels to explore strength and stability while building structures. Is a single piece of paper strong enough to hold up a water bottle? Which shapes provide the most strength and stability in different structures? Join us next week to explore these ideas—using newspaper\, tape\, and your creativity! Have fun with principles of engineering\, physics\, and geometry as you design and build sturdy structures and other cool creations. \nTo make newspaper dowels\, use these simple directions or watch this short video. Materials you will need: \n\nNewspaper (other options: paper\, magazines or catalogs)\nTape (scotch or masking)\nDrinking Straws (other options: wooden dowels\, round chopsticks\, markers\, pencils)\n\nVisit our blog at makered.org/blog for more inspiration\, resources\, and project guides! Videos — live and archived — are at bit.ly/MakerEdLIVE

SUMMARY:Strategic Technology Planning: Aligning Priorities\, Costs\, Outcomes and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Jeanne Barker\, Director of Schools\, Lenoir City School System\, TN; Dr. Chris Gaines\, Superintendent\, Mehlville School District\, MO; and Dr. Randy Ziegenfuss\, Superintendent\, Salisbury Township School District\, PA \nProgram Host and Moderator: Ann McMullan\, Project Director\, CoSN Empowered Superintendents Initiative \nSponsored by ClassLink\nThis edWebinar series is co-hosted by CoSN and edWeb.net \nOver 50% of U.S. school districts and about one third of all public schools in the nation are located in rural areas. Successfully leading digital transformations within rural school districts has a tremendous impact on our nation as a whole. \nTechnology planning and investments can typically be quite complicated. Often the challenges begin almost from the moment a district begins to consider next steps in a comprehensive technology plan. With tight budgets and multiple stakeholders involved\, each with valid concerns\, along with the constant evolution of technology tools and resources\, a framework for evaluating technology initiatives and guidelines for arriving at well-supported decisions are more important than ever before. \nJoin this edWebinar with three tech-savvy superintendents\, from three different states\, as they share how they lead their districts in creating technology plans that align priorities\, costs\, and outcomes and also assure that the ability to sustain technology initiatives over time is part of the planning process. Each superintendent will explain their strategies and impart their expertise on the total cost of ownership\, student outcomes\, budget management\, and the value of investment. Tools and resources to evaluate\, rethink and strengthen technology planning and decision making will be shared. \nGiven the current challenges involved with the efforts to continue teaching and learning in the midst of multiple school closures\, the issues involved in school districts’ strategic technology planning are now more urgent and relevant than ever. Our three superintendents share strategies they have implemented to lead learning for all students in their school districts during these most unprecedented and complex times. \nThis edWebinar will be of particular value to school superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
