Remote doesn’t have to mean removed. This interactive session features a series of interactive activities and strategies designed to keep students engaged in the learning process and with each other. Empower your teachers to create a sense of community, wherever learning happens this school year.

Remote learning doesn’t mean students can’t work together. This seminar helps teachers develop ideas for collaboration and teamwork in remote or hybrid learning environments. Explore ways to share data, facilitate collaborative projects and provide feedback, while leveraging the latest classroom technologies, from Google Classroom to Flipgrid to padlet, and more.

Whether in-classroom, hybrid, or fully remote, educators will need tools and strategies to provide students with the education they deserve under circumstances that demand flexibility and innovation. This workshop focuses on designing meaningful learning experiences for students leveraging JASON resources that work well remotely or in-person to ensure learning continues uninterrupted. Educators will explore guiding principles of effective remote lesson design taking into consideration student needs and ability, student choice, equity, and accessibility.

Student voice matters, especially now. This seminar explores strategies to support student discourse in remote or hybrid learning environments. Master new ways to elicit student ideas, support ongoing changes in student thinking, and facilitate classroom conversation in a remote setting

The Aldrin Family Foundation and JASON Learning partner to provide educators with exciting activities, articles, and videos that will connect students with the history, science, and future of space exploration.

Big changes in the way we define the units that make up the International System of Units (SI) are helping answer questions about the smallest and largest phenomena in the universe. In JASON Learning’s new curriculum, participants say goodbye to the last artifact — aka, the kilogram — and hello to the exciting field of metrology.

JASON’s Design & Pitch collection challenges students to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset when solving real-world problems and to develop their 21st century skills. Through “Flashy Fashion”, participants will sample parts of the Design & Pitch cycle while designing a customizable piece of clothing that harnesses the power of LED lighting, and then pitching it “Shark Tank” style.

Get students out “into the field”, whether on school grounds or in the backyard, by engaging in science and engineering practices, and developing 21st-century competencies. Get kids doing “real science” in remote or in-class settings and leverage the online environment for collaborating, sharing, and analyzing group data.

STEM role model Dr. Shadle studies the emissions of pollutants from coal plants around the world. By analyzing recent data, participants will generate questions about the effect of the COVID virus pandemic on these pollutants. How does a nation-wide lock down affect the quality of the air we breathe?

Come along as we dive down into our Immersion Learning Adventure Series. Explore the living wonders of the sea and how technology has furthered our understanding of them. Lessons and resources further student understanding of the relationship between structure and function and the methods of famous explorers like Dr. Robert Ballard.

Survey the technologies involved in exploring the ocean floor. Participants will simulate methods of ocean exploration including SONAR, photomosaics, and underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Let’s take a deep dive and explore!

Safety and security are critical areas that all students should be exploring to become digitally literate, especially now. What is cybersecurity? How can we stay safe in the cyber world? Learn more about the dangers of social engineering attacks, what they are, and how students can learn to spot and avoid them.

Audacity is a free, open-source, cross-platform audio software used in JASON’s World of Waves curriculum. Educators will learn to leverage this software with JASON’s lessons to help students explore patterns and relationships between frequency and pitch, and visualize parts of a wave. (Note: Audacity does not work on Chromebooks, but methods for creating assets on other devices using Audacity for use in a chromebook setting are addressed.)

Discover how a simple film canister can be leveraged to support students’ understanding of the essential practices of science and engineering, as well as key algebra concepts and skills like lines of best fit to make predictions. This session highlights the interdisciplinary connections between math and science. Fuel up your rocket today — and get ready to Blast Off!

Understanding Climate Change requires that students have a conceptual working model of how climate works in general. Build a systems model of climate in this session, showing causal relationships between the components that impact climate, and predicting the impact of climate modifiers such as mountains and ocean currents on a region.

Explore JASON’s Institute of Scrap Recycling (ISRI) lessons to discover ways to excite and motivate students, both in the traditional classroom and remotely, to reduce, reuse, and recycle in the spirit of conserving resources and reducing our human impact.

Discover new opportunities for students to develop their understanding of mathematical concepts and engage in math practices through JASON’s interdisciplinary curricula. Explore how the “M” in STEM (math) is integrated into JASON’s STEM curricula. Whether you are a STEM teacher or a Math teacher, this session will show you how to inspire students to use math in school and life.

Algebra is a difficult subject for which to provide contextual experiences for students. This can make it difficult for students to understand. Explore the context-based experiences provided by ARGO Integrated Algebra, including a quest designed around planning and proposing an amusement park to investors.

Become a student and jump into some context-based activities provided in the ARGO Geometry curriculum. Use slope-intercept form to describe the path of a running back. Create a formula to determine the cost of a flooring job. Use the context of building a Tiny House to teach the skills of perimeter, area, and volume.
