Anthony Rotolo is an Assistant Professor of Practice at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, where he specializes in Social Media and the study of real-time information. His course, “Social Media in the Enterprise”, addresses the changing expectations of information users and how businesses and organizations of all sizes can leverage social media to achieve strategic goals. This course at the Syracuse University iSchool leverages real-time social media to deliver a fast-paced, hands on experience and has developed its own online community of learners, practitioners and experts who join the class each week via Twitter. In 2009, Rotolo was appointed Syracuse University’s Social Media Strategist, which was the first position of its kind at the university. In this role, he led a team of staff and students to develop and implement a strategy that established Syracuse as a leader in the use of social media among its peers in higher education. Less than one year later, Klout, an organization that ranks online influence, rated Syracuse as the second-most influential college in social media, behind first-place Stanford and ahead of third-place Harvard. Rotolo has received the Faculty of the Year Award (2009, SU iSchool), as well as the Web-based Information Science Education Consortium’s Excellence in Online Education Award (2009). In 2011, Rotolo was awarded “Young Technologist of the Year” by the Technology Alliance of Central New York.

Dr. Cathy Leogrande
Le Moyne College
Nintendo Goes To School
May 12, 2011, 8:00 - 1:00
CNYRIC

Students often complain about schoolwork, yet spend hours on difficult, complex tasks in video games. Researchers and teachers who study games and gamers find that the most popular games use core elements from learning theory. Educators now apply these components to in-class instruction, as well as bring in video games themselves to teach problem solving and collaboration. This session will focus on the state of educational research and practices related to gaming. From edutainment games like The Oregon Trail that had little content value to smart games that balance learning and fun, there will be lively discussion, resources, and opportunities for hands-on experience. Are you ready to play?

Please join us for a great opportunity to meet with our keynote speaker and network with other curriculum and technology leaders! Register here.

Cathy Leogrande has been an educator since 1976. As a special education teacher and administrator, she always looked for alternative ways for student input, processing, and output. However, she credits her role as parent as providing her the most valuable information on how diverse learners think. She developed and teaches a graduate course called Video Games & Learning, and has presented her research, Nintendo Goes to School, at several conferences.

ITD TALKS: Challenging Assumptions About Technology Professional Development

Sylvia Martinez, Generation YES
Challenging Assumptions About Technology Professional Development
March 17, 2011, 8:00 - 1:00
CNYRIC

Forty years after the invention of the personal computer, schools still find themselves begging teachers to introduce technology into classrooms. Conventional wisdom attributes the lack of effective technology use in classrooms to a shortage of, or poorly run professional development. At the same time, student-centered learning environments require teachers to develop more expertise not only in technology but also in pedagogy. Rather than continue to do more of the same, we should question assumptions and explore new models of teacher learning that address these issues.

GenYES and TechYES in Action
Teachers and students from Jamesville DeWitt High School and Baldwinsville’s Ray Middle School will be on-hand to discuss their experiences with the GenYES and TechYES programs in their respective schools. GenYES is the only student-centered research-based solution for school-wide technology integration. Students work with teachers to design technology-infused lessons and provide tech support. In TechYES, students show technology literacy by creating projects that meet state and local technology proficiency requirements. As part of TechYES, a structured peer-mentoring program assists the teacher or advisor, and provides student leadership opportunities that serve to further strengthen the program and enrich the learning community.

ITD TALKS: Anytime, Anywhere Learning

2010-12-23T10:09:00.000-08:00

Kraig Pritts, Superintendent
Tully Central School District
Anytime, Anywhere Learning
January 13, 2011, 8:00 - 1:00
CNYRIC

In order to thrive in today’s society our students must learn to work together and collaborate. In too many areas the education system remains locked into a focus on the individual and “traditional” methods of learning. Our students thrive on access to information and learning in many ways far different from what most schools offer in today’s world. This discussion will center on breaking down the barriers of time, location, and logistics in order to provide “anytime, anywhere” learning opportunities for students of all ages, in all settings. Learn how the Tully Central School District is taking the Board of Education’s challenge of “No more business as usual” to overcome obstacles through innovation. Superintendent Kraig Pritts will discuss how new learning tools such as video conferencing and Amazon’s Kindle can make the world a smaller place and offer a more enriching learning experience for students in this small rural school district. Watch and share in demonstrations about Kindles in the classroom, video conferencing, and distance learning that take students to learning beyond the walls of the school building to enable anytime, anywhere learning.

Videoconferencing Experience at ESM High School

2009-10-08T03:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I observed a very powerful videoconference activity in Keith Ward's English class. The students had read Persepolis, a graphic novel about story of a young girl's life under the Islamic Revolution. The class connected with a class of college students at SUNY Cortland who were participating in a Young Adult Literature Course. The college students had also read the graphic novel. The groups took turns asking each other questions about the novel and thoughts about the use of pictures in the story. There was a small panel of guests at ESM who answered questions about graphic novels. The panel consisted of an artist who is working on a graphic novel, a writer of a graphic novel, and a representative from Cloud City Comics.

It was very interesting to hear the students from SUNY Cortland asking the high school students what their thoughts were about graphic novels, why they enrolled in the class with Keith Ward, and what they thought made a good class. Some of the students from SUNY Cortland mentioned that they were going to become a teacher and were very interested in the students' thoughts. The college students also asked the high school students what they were reading outside of class and what graphic novels or comics they should read next.

What a great experience!
