Surface Learning vs. Deep Learning: How Technology Can Help Students Think Deeper

Which is more important: students having a solid foundation of basic skills or students possessing an ability to think deeply and critically? The best answer is both! Teachers sometimes stop at basic knowledge and fail to challenge students to dig deeper into the content. Other times, teachers don’t spend enough time on surface-level knowledge and students fail to transfer learning and apply it in a critical way. This webinar will demonstrate various ways that technology can assist teachers in ensuring surface-level knowledge is gained and the transfer of learning happens so that students move to higher levels of thinking about the content.

Innovations Bringing STEM and Robotics to Today’s Classrooms

Experts and educators around the world agree that STEM fields represent both the most understaffed sector of today’s workforce and the highest area of need for tomorrow’s. However, many educators are challenged when it comes to enabling students in these areas. There are many barriers for providing this education to today’s students, including the need to have both extensive computer and network infrastructure, as well as existing programming experience and tools.

Charles Foley, Chairman of the Board for Critical Links, Inc., Boxlight Advisory Council and Stephen Barker, Boxlight VP of STEM Education discuss innovative solutions that change this paradigm to allow students to explore and learn the concepts of programming, robotics, and IoT using a device as simple as a basic PC, tablet, or smartphone—without network infrastructure or expensive workstations.

Redesigning Learning Spaces

For decades, classrooms have essentially looked the same. Because we know that our learners have changed and what they need to learn has changed, our classroom environments must also change—but how? We will take a look at different styles of learning environments, the “why” behind reimagining what a classroom can look like, how classroom design can foster (or hinder) learning, and share ideas of examples for how to fully engage students in 21st century learning.

Gregory Haulk, Superintendent of Huntington Beach City School District (HBSC), and Kevin Mulligan, President of OnPoint Innovative Learning Environments, will share their best practices from HBSC’s district modernization project, which redesigned classrooms and implemented technology to achieve collaborative learning strategies that support 21st century skills.

Presented by Kelly Bielefeld, Curriculum Coordinator & Adjunct Professor and Gregory Haulk, Superintendent
