five days exploring a variety
of constructionist technologies and programmable learning
environments including:
and
robotics with...
|
This workshop for teachers,
parents, and technology integrators emphasizes learning
through designing and building personally meaningful
projects that support computational thinking. Experience
this process yourself, and explore how to implement
design-based learning with your
students.
See how
mathematics, art, science, language arts, and other
subjects are integrated in multi-media stories, game
projects, and robotic creations.
The Logo Summer Institute provides
a relaxed atmosphere with a small group of colleagues
and a great deal of personal attention from experienced
workshop leaders.
There are three full-time
facilitators:
- Hope Chafiian of the Spence
School
- Steve
Farnsworth of UNIS
- Michael
Tempel of the Logo Foundation

Here's what some participants in previous
Logo Summer Institutes had to say:*
|
Company was great, location wonderful, info and
ideas abound...
This was the most productive professional
development workshop I've attended. Valuable personal
learning experience of skills that directly relates to
classroom experience. Very excited to try these out next
school year.
I thought it was a terrific workshop! I really
learned a lot about how to use the technology. The
facilitators were also great! They always were around to see
how your project was going and offer great feedback on it,
which was incredibly helpful :)
The level of individual attention I received
was remarkable, considering the number of people in the
class who were all working on complicated matters. I truly
appreciated the patience, intense focus and time given by
all the facilitators. Each facilitator was approachable and
genuinely concerned that I learned the
material.
It was a terrific week. The facilitators were
all knowledgeable and helpful, the pace was perfect, and the
structure lent itself to the sort of independent learning
that we hope to facilitate in our own
classes.
