00:01:25:09 – 00:01:50:19
Debbie Tannenbaum
That’s my twenty fifth 12 months in coaching, my sixth 12 months as a tech coach, and thru my first 12 months as a tech coach, I’m in elementary school. I was getting large aggravated because of I felt like I’ll on no account help all my kids. And so it’s actually humorous because of I was listening to your podcast once more in I suppose 2018, 2019, and likewise you have got been interviewing this woman, Pana Asavavatana, and he or she was talking about icon literacy. (See episode 338)
00:01:50:21 – 00:02:11:22
Debbie Tannenbaum
And I reached out to her immediately after the podcast and stumbled on further about her. And this sort of started me on this whole journey. I help districts with loads of points, nonetheless my true passion helps our little learners, guaranteeing that they develop firm, that they really understand how you need to use digital models and the way in which they modify into digital learners.
00:02:11:22 – 00:02:34:20
Debbie Tannenbaum
It’s change right into a extraordinarily large passion to me. Quite a few what I see is for secondary school. Quite a few what I share tends to take care of these littles, these youngest college students, because of we truly should assure that our kids are ready. There’s rather a lot change occurring in experience correct now and coaching. And if we don’t ensure our kids have these experience, it turns into truly, truly robust down the freeway.
00:02:34:21 – 00:02:58:02
Vicki Davis
Properly, I actually like that you simply’re looking for help. You didn’t let your frustration get to you. You found any particular person who resonated with you by listening to podcasts. And I’m optimistic you have acquired been listening to quite a few completely completely different podcasts, nonetheless then you definitely positively’re like, “Oh, this confederate truly is superior.” You reached out to her and then you definitely positively merely purchased excited. So establishing your PLN truly does make a distinction, wouldn’t it?
00:02:58:04 – 00:03:24:20
Debbie Tannenbaum
It fully does. And I, over the previous 5 years since I joined Twitter, it’s maybe rather more than that, becoming part of a PLN has fully modified each little factor for me. I’ve had so many options to be taught, so many options to share that I would have on no account had if I hadn’t had these experiences. And I’ve gotten to actually really feel rather a lot richer in what I do because of these experiences.
00:03:24:20 – 00:03:35:10
Debbie Tannenbaum
So it’s truly been good as a result of the ultimate couple of years have gone. I’m doing points now that I would have on no account imagined doing 5 years up to now, and loads of that is due to the oldsters I’ve been associated with by way of social media.
00:03:35:13 – 00:03:54:19
Vicki Davis
We are going to talk about making finding out sticky and really we want to focus proper now on the littles because of you acknowledge what? Likelihood is you will be any person that resonates with these which can be working with attempting to realize and help the littles. So the place do you start? How do you help teachers attain our youngest?
00:03:54:21 – 00:04:18:09
Debbie Tannenbaum
I really feel it’s truly important to start out out straightforward. I always talk about after I first start working with my youngest learners as a result of work that I had expert talking to Pana and dealing collectively together with her, I truly try to contemplate these 9 icons that I actually really feel like are a really highly effective for my school college students to know, to basically navigate these digital finding out environments sooner than we even contact a software, we truly start to be taught these.
00:04:18:09 – 00:04:34:17
Debbie Tannenbaum
And whether or not or not we’re talking about power or we’re performing some complete physique response and we’re using our arms, or we’re talking about username, which has seven digits or password, each little factor we do is de facto concrete after which we even play some icon bingo to basically assure that the youngsters know these points.
00:04:34:18 – 00:04:39:18
Vicki Davis
Icon Bingo. Okay, I actually like that. Inform me about Icon Bingo.
00:04:39:18 – 00:04:59:02
Debbie Tannenbaum
Icon Bingo. There’s a truly good web site. I really feel it’s known as ESL Actions and chances are you’ll put footage on a bingo board and I put like, I’m attempting to remember all 9 of them, nonetheless like, power, username, image, textual content material, video, microphone. And so I put these ones that I’ll use with all of my school college students a lot on there.
00:04:59:02 – 00:05:21:14
Debbie Tannenbaum
And we play it. We play. I even had some educators play some icon bingo in a single amongst my playgrounds because of it’s truly important to ensure that they understand what these icons are. After which, you acknowledge, as we assemble, we are going to get rather more. Nonetheless there’s so many icons that go all through completely completely different platforms that, yeah, I want to ensure my school college students understand that.
00:05:21:14 – 00:05:42:05
Debbie Tannenbaum
And so I would love my school college students to comprehend it would not matter what program they’re in, a way to navigate that digital finding out setting. And I truly, as quickly as I’ve completed that with them, I do loads of points the place I reinforce these icons as we’re finding out and really try to hyperlink the digital literacy that they’re establishing with the academic that they’re engaged on as properly.
00:05:42:07 – 00:06:03:05
Debbie Tannenbaum
I really feel that’s large important. I’ve one factor I title an edu Rubicon that has, you acknowledge, the icons on the left after which these requirements for entry on the becoming. And it is extraordinarily seen because of I would love my school college students to know that they will do that stuff. I incorporate points like video inside it because of I would love them to have that firm.
00:06:03:05 – 00:06:34:01
Debbie Tannenbaum
Sooner than this, I was spending loads of time participating in Whac-A-Mole and attempting to get my school college students all down and on no account being able to. And now what I’m truly my goal is, is now they’re calling me because of they want to current me what they’re creating. And that is a gigantic shift. And I really feel that that’s so important. So after I am working with these, after I am working with, you acknowledge, our main educators and our youngest learners, I assemble on that, guaranteeing that sooner than I even level out a tech software program, that I truly spend time to talk about strategies to promote that firm.
00:06:34:03 – 00:06:53:23
Debbie Tannenbaum
Because of far too normally we go on to the tech devices, and as soon as we do that, we’re missing a bit. And so at any time once I share about littles, I always inform them the first half hour has nothing to do with tech devices. I cannot even level out a tech software program until that second half hour. Nonetheless then after I level out these tech devices, you will see these connections made.
00:06:54:03 – 00:06:58:05
Vicki Davis
Prefer it. So if you happen to say littles, define the age.
00:06:58:07 – 00:07:03:16
Debbie Tannenbaum
With what I do, I truly take a look at like that pre-Alright to second. Nonetheless the stuff I share will truly work.
00:07:03:16 – 00:07:08:21
Vicki Davis
Pre-Okay and so have you ever ever. Have you ever ever completed this with three-year-olds or is it further like four-year-olds or five-year-olds?
00:07:08:21 – 00:07:09:15
Debbie Tannenbaum
4-year-olds.
00:07:09:18 – 00:07:24:20
Vicki Davis
4-year-olds? The Whac-A-Mole is a criticism that teachers and coaches have with these four-year-olds. So that you uncover that participating in bingo truly helps them understand the icons and what they do and the way in which prolonged the username is?
00:07:25:01 – 00:07:44:10
Debbie Tannenbaum
I’ve not carried out bingo with my four-year-olds. I carried out it with my kindergartners. Nonetheless merely that exact same idea of truly establishing it and guaranteeing after I work with my youngest learners, I try to stick with purposes that are very, very seen. Certainly one of many ones I truly like is called WPXI, they normally have a significant view that’s large easy for our kids to utilize.
00:07:44:10 – 00:07:56:05
Debbie Tannenbaum
After which after I get to my older kids, then I’ll assemble on that. I’m so excited because of we had iPads this 12 months that my pre-Okay kids, as soon as they get to kindergarten, this is not going to be the first time they’ve been on a software.
00:07:56:05 – 00:08:02:13
Vicki Davis
What are your favorites? You have acquired purchased Wix. See, you’re excited regarding the iPads. Merely throw some out at us that your kids love.
00:08:02:14 – 00:08:09:12
Debbie Tannenbaum
Wix is likely to be one amongst my favorites. I moreover love eBook Creator. I really feel eBook Creator is an amazing software program. I exploit Flip a lot with my kids.
00:08:09:12 – 00:08:11:21
Vicki Davis
Oh truly? How do you put it to use?
00:08:11:23 – 00:08:29:11
Debbie Tannenbaum
Properly, I start truly straightforward. We start with the paper mannequin they normally’ll start with my kindergartners and I’m going to say, okay, here’s a 5 show display screen, coloration it in two different methods. Do you want to keep it up in entrance of your face and report or do you want to keep it to the side? I make it so that they solely have the digital digicam to start out out after which I merely enable them to look at each other.
00:08:29:11 – 00:08:50:04
Debbie Tannenbaum
And honestly, they love watching each other. And so we assemble on all of those points as we’re working small strategic steps to basically assure that they understand how you are able to do these items one step at a time. And I like purposes that allow our kids to share their very personal information in quite a few different methods. So it’s not merely, “Oh, I’m drawing the picture,” nonetheless maybe I can create a video, maybe I can add my voice.
00:08:50:04 – 00:09:11:05
Debbie Tannenbaum
And so I like these points. And it moreover makes it less complicated for our teachers. If our teachers determine a software program that has quite a few completely completely different picks, then the lecturers be taught one software program, the youngsters be taught one software program, after which it’s less complicated to help them change over as soon as they really understand how all of that works collectively. So I can work with my kids on Wixie after which after I get to Flip, they understand how they’re alike and completely completely different.
00:09:11:05 – 00:09:12:18
Debbie Tannenbaum
We’re capable of make that change.
00:09:12:20 – 00:09:23:19
Vicki Davis
So as we find yourself, could you merely give us a quick elevator pitch for right here is how one could make finding out stick with experience. With 4 and five-year-olds.
00:09:24:00 – 00:09:43:02
Debbie Tannenbaum
I really feel you should take a look on the options the experience can present our school college students. And is it going to offer our school college students options to share in methods by which they cannot with out the experience? And loads of situations having them doc their voice or having them make a video, you will get numerous issues than you might get do you have to merely have them draw a picture.
00:09:43:04 – 00:10:01:22
Debbie Tannenbaum
And so giving them these options to do that, having it’s succesful to study to them, truly giving them real duties and being like, you’re actually creating one factor on the laptop. With my 4 and five-year-olds, I do loads of stuff the place they’ve choice boards, the place they go. There’s a couple of completely completely different actions they normally get to determine on what they’re doing.
00:10:02:00 – 00:10:16:02
Debbie Tannenbaum
I would love them to actually really feel like after I come to their rooms to do our experience, that it’s always linked to what we’re finding out. I on no account do one factor that isn’t linked to what they’re finding out, and I work with the lecturers to do that they normally see the connection between us.
00:10:16:04 – 00:10:22:03
Vicki Davis
So are the choice boards projected on the board? Are they in a Google doc or Google slide? Or the place are these?
00:10:22:04 – 00:10:38:06
Debbie Tannenbaum
Quite a few situations I’m going to make use of Wixie because of it lets you hyperlink inside after which they get into Wixie using Clever they normally understand how to do that. I educate them that; we uncover methods to find the Clever icon. We uncover methods to find what they title the Rainbow hand. We’re truly intentional with these icons as we assemble.
00:10:38:09 – 00:11:09:07
Vicki Davis
Love that Debbie Tannenbaum and also you’re employed with districts all through serving to them use experience with the littlest to make finding out stick. And I actually like your methods. So many good ideas. Thanks, Debbie, for approaching the current.
