Keynote:

Wild Imaginations, Curious Children, and Stories from Student-Ready Educators
Stephanie Passman & Eric Bredder, Albemarle County Public Schools

Our goal everyday is to make school awesome for students and teachers alike. We will share ways to provide each student with the necessary resources to learn, take meaningful risks, and create physical and digital representations of their original ideas. We will share anecdotes that provide strong evidence of the student learning that occurs while building meaningful relationships, and fostering creativity and collaboration. Student-ready educators are prepared for all students, so they can be prepared for their future.

We are excited to welcome Stephanie Passman and Eric Bredder as keynote speakers. These educators from Albemarle County will talk with us about creating innovative learning environments where students collaborate and create as a natural part of the learning process. Thanks for EN Computers for their support of the keynote.

Location:
Memorial Hall,James Madison University, 395 South High Street, Harrisonburg, Virginia

Monday, November 7, 2016, 8 PM:
Book Study: Insurrection, Keith Reeves

We will meet on VSTE Island to discuss section 1 of Keith David Reeves' book, Insurrection: A Teacher Revolution in Defense of Children. This proves to be a lively discussion. Reeves is chair of the board of directors. Get your copy and start reading NOW but feel free to attend even if you haven't read the book! Learn more about the book and the author here.

Monday, November 14, 2016, 7:45 PM:
Swing Dancing

We will meet a little early on VSTE Island and plan to be at Carlyle's Swing Dance Studio by 8 PM (5 PM SLT) for some great 40's music and swing dancing. The animations are great! Carlyle has put together several levels of swing dance class that teach you about many styles enjoyed through the years. Sounds fun.

While your Second Life viewer (software) is open, click this link http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/VSTE%20Island/61/104/22 and voila! Look for an avatar on VSTE Island and say, "Hey, I'm new!"

Classroom Snacks: Wise County, October 27, 2016

October 23, 2016 by vsteadmin

Classroom SnacksAs educators, we spend lots of time talking about students but not much time talking to them. VSTE is working to change that by providing virtual visits to classrooms across the Commonwealth. Our "classroom snacks" will take place on Thursdays throughout October.

We'll continue the series  with three groups of students from Wise County on Thursday, October 27, 2016.

Join us in our Adobe Connect room to listen live or access the archive later.
