Why didn't I do this before: Digital Interactive Notebooks

Travis  Owens     

Time: SESSION EIGHT 1:15-2:00 Room: Methods Lab - 213 Park Hall

Repeat: SESSION NINE 2:30-3:15 Room for Repeat: Methods Lab - 213 Park Hall

If you are like me you were taught to do an engineering notebook using a notepad, colored pencils, scissors and glue sticks. But isn’t there something better, less of a mess and hassle, and easier to keep track of? Did you give up a class notebook like I once did? How do you find the time to grade the notebooks? How do you provide guided notes for students with IEPs or 504s? Do you ever feel like it's an extra, overwhelming thing to do?  It’s not! 

I make entries daily, which kids copy and complete. I wish I did this years ago as it’s also helping me with classroom management! I have the largest class I’ve ever had in 16 years, and it helps me contain the chaos! Best of all, it will be ready to use next year!  Providing all students with guided notes via templates, graphic organizers, and/or scaffolding information in some fashion has been known to improve student academic performance. Students need to learn how to conceptualize and organize their thoughts through active note taking.

Introduction to Programming with Alice 3.0

Joe Sementa     

Time: SESSION EIGHT 1:15-2:00 Room: CADD Lab - 101 Park Hall

Repeat: SESSION NINE 2:30-3:15 Room for Repeat: CADD Lab - 101 Park Hall

Are you looking to introduce coding to your students but you don't feel confident with a programming language?  Are you looking to create a quick but fun unit for your general technology program? Are you interested in animation? If you answered 'YES' to any of these questions then Alice might be the application for you! In this workshop you will learn the features of Alice and how to incorporate it with your students in a variety of ways.  This fun and user friendly application helps students learn the fundamentals of programming with an easy drag and drop block coding environment. No messy code or syntax. With Alice your students can create a virtual worlds with a cast of characters that result in animations from basic to highly complex.

Positive Plastics Education for Your Classroom from the Society of Plastics Engineers

Eve Vitale     

Time: SESSION SIX 9:00-9:45 Room: Polymer Classroom - 191 Wilber Hall

Repeat: SESSION EIGHT 1:15-2:00 Room for Repeat: Polymer Classroom - 191 Wilber Hall

Attendees will have the chance to WIN ONE OF TEN 3D PRINTERS for their classrooms and experience a PlastiVan® as your students would. Through lively demonstrations and hands-on activities, the PlastiVan® Program is designed to excite students about opportunities in science, engineering, and manufacturing within the plastics industry. Students are educated about the chemistry, history, processing, manufacturing, and sustainability of plastics and how science and real-world applications relate to their everyday lives. Some topics covered are the basic raw materials of plastics, polymers and polymeric structure, injection molding and thermoplastics, crosslinked polymers and non-Newtonian fluids, exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions, thermoset plastics, hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers, recycling, and more. The program is aligned with NGSS standards and is free of charge to schools.
