This will be discussed from the view from the classroom with students as well as how this changes professional learning for teachers.","Description":"\u201cYou don\u2019t need to teach us.  That\u2019s what Google is for.\u201d That was the message a student shared with a surprised audience of educators during a popular technology conference. They went on to say, \u201cIf I can't figure something out I prefer to watch a YouTube video or text a friend rather than ask a teacher.\u201d The other students in the room nodded their heads in agreement. Many teachers understand this is how today\u2019s students prefer to learn. When we stop banning and fighting technology and start to embrace the connected classroom, a shift in teaching practice certainly must follow.  What does that look like? How has the role of teaching, learning, and professional learning for teachers changed in the age of Google.  In this session two classroom teachers and two administrators will discuss some of the shifts they\u2019ve seen and then discuss with participants how they have or can embrace new roles for modern teaching.","Link":["http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/educon17teacherrole"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"This session uses the What? So What? Now What? protocol. The whole group will discuss the \u201cWhat?\u201d which is how students prefer to learn. Then they\u2019ll discuss \u201cSo What?\u201d and think of some new roles of teachers today. Next the room will break into pairs or groups to look at each of the various roles and elaborate on what each role looks like from the perspective of student, teacher, and learning environment. These will be collected on one Padlet. The participants will reconvene and then each group will share what they came up with and respond to feedback.","Presenter":["Lisa Nielsen","Eileen Lennon","Jackie Patanio","Darlynn Alfalla"],"PresenterAffiliation":["NYC Schools"],"PresenterEmail":["lnielsen@schools.nyc.gov","elennon2@schools.nyc.gov","dalfall@schools.nyc.gov","jpatanio@schools.nyc.gov"],"ScheduleSlotID":83,"ScheduleLocationID":8,"SubmitterID":869,"AdditionalComments":"We would request the Saturday afternoon timeslot for this session to ensure all presenters are on hand.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":6}}
