Focusing on learning spaces, technology & innovation. What a wonderful time to be a student or educator! Let's connect and transform spaces and learning!

Any recommends for online intro comp sci for 8th or 9th graders. Will be a teacher facilitator in room, but no CS experience. Looked at Code Academy. Any others? Would like assessments built in, unlock next assignment etc. Low-cost or no cost. Not heading to AP or IB CS.

A new #aisgz student arrived in China and is in quarantine. But that doesn't mean she's alone! Her 22 classmates and teacher Mr Kidhart met her today for the first time. It's not the usual first day of class, but quarantine's not something she's going through alone. @aisgz

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

What's that? Not enough time to teach coding? Think again. @MsReyna2 gave a 5 minute intro to #AISGZ 2nd graders in Kent Watkins room. Just 5 minutes and the kids were off and coding with Dash's and Blockly. @AISGZ

Dear PLN. #AISG would like to connect with other IB schools using innovative scheduling. Schedules that adapt to the needs of students and classes dynamically, rather than a fixed block rotation, but honoring IB requirements. Anyone willing to share what they are doing?

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

@MsReyna2 is an @iste certified treasure at #AISGZ. If you missed her live session at #ACAMIStech watch the recording. The sharing in our ACAMIS community goes right back into dozens of additional classrooms on Monday. PD that just keeps on giving.

#ACAMISTECH @ Keystone - Supporting Authentic Learning with ISTE Standards - this session is great!!!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

And our #AISGZ students are so fortunate to have educators like @MeghanGw to learn with every day. #ACAMIStech Day 1. So many professional learning opportunities and it's just the half of it!

[Lisa Hughes @lisahughes0111]

So much fun with @MeghanGw today at the #ACAMIStech conference watch party at @ncpa_china. Macgyver quick challenge-design a COVID friendly doorbell ringer for trick or treaters

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

@MsReyna2 @AISGZ @re_herrin @missguzzo @MeghanGw @Ms_Siemens @CMiolee Sending my regrets Reyna as we are away. Glad so many others are able to join in. I'll catch the next one.

It's Science Friday in #AISGZ Oliver Ferris' Gr. 4 classroom. This week students learn about transpiration as their celery stalks drink up different colored water and proceed to change to that color. Students used their iPads to zoom in on the leaves & document their learning.

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

#AISGZ @MsReyna2 worked with our ES PLCL's to easily find over-lap between PLC goals & the ISTE Standards. Teachers attached standards onto the goal document in the gallery walk. Numerous connections found. We say ISTE is just good teaching & fun learning. And so relevant today!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

Had a chance to visit #AISGZ @AisgJohn and found his multimedia students getting exceptionally creative. Complete new species coming out of the classroom, such as this Monarch Elephant. And the Rhinoshark (gene splicing still underway). Magical creativity on display!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

#AISGZ turned our kitchen into a laboratory yet again. This summer the living room turned into a glyphosphate experiment with mugwort. Our other boy studied fermentation rates in 55 samples of white flour w/ varying endosperm content. Took over the dining room table for a week!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

@AisgJohn @MeghanGw @chalkjockey @Ms_Siemens Stephen will be in touch tomorrow I'm sure. How about a reel of carbon fiber to print some drone frames? Or a full-blown earring factory project?

[John Lund @ ISB @ISBJLund]

@rbauerkenya We are ready for some wood filament whenever you can get it! Our discover class is cranking designs of all types of characters!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

Imagine if your hospital depended on donated saline solution, antibiotics and other supplies. Or if your doctor had to buy her own scalpel and other equipment to operate on you. We wouldn't tolerate it, yet teachers have to do this all the time.

[Dr. Shannon H. Doak @DoakShannon]

When you think about it, #clearthelists and #donorschoose are kind of sad. Why do educators need to have anyone provide the materials they need to do the job well? This should be something the #government ensures is provided. #clearthelist #teachertwitter #EducationForAll

Trouble getting your admin to support a flexible furniture initiative? Share this 2015 UK study with them. The impact of flexible seating options & student choice on math scores is astounding. https://t.co/ckRfLLLllz @net_lep @projectILETC #AISGZ

@MeghanGw @AISGZ Well, I suppose if you have sacrifice a limb, the non-dominant arm must be the bone of choice.

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

Teaching biology in a uber-urban setting doesn't mean it can't be fun. #AISGZ Oliver Ferris' students are learning about carnivorous plants. They fed ants to their venus fly trap plants and were extremely happy to explain the process and plant parts. Made for a fun visit today!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

#AISGZ welcomes Gr. 4 Teacher Taralyn Lefebvre on campus! While quarantine remains a COVID feature in China, once our teachers are out, a whole lot of excited kids and happy colleagues welcome them on campus!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

How long until your new school opens? 1, 5 or 10 more years? Cathy McDermod at #AISGZ isn't making her kids wait any longer. She & her entire team discarded the traditional schooldesks this year. Kids have 8 different seating/standing options to chose from @net_lep @projectILETC

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

@travelingamy80 @calm I have some of them memorized. Hi this is Tamara. If you're tuning in you've probably woken up and are struggling... I love the getting back to sleep one the best, even if I'm just falling asleep for the first time I still listen to it!

[Bob Bauer #MIEE Innovative Learning Evironments @rbauerkenya]

@Ms_Siemens @AISGZ Great camera work Ms. Siemens!
