Why not share it with others? This session will help you think about publishing a book, including planning, platforms, and publishing strategies.","Description":"The focus of this conversation is both practical and philosophical. Educators invested in project-based learning often wonder how to bring these ideas to larger audiences. Writing a book is a way to do this. It\u2019s also useful for building a professional brand and establishing yourself as an expert.\r\n\r\nPart 1 of this conversation will be an overview of how books get written and published today. Both e-books and physical books have evolved in recent years and the process has gotten easier and more accessible. Authors can choose to work with a publisher, or self-publish, and we will discuss the pros and cons of these choices.\r\n\r\nPart 2 will be about the process and logistics of writing a book, including tools and platforms, understanding the editing process, layout, and more.\r\n\r\nPart 3 will offer participants a chance to share their ideas for writing a book and get feedback from the audience.","Link":["https:\/\/sylviamartinez.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Participants will share their ideas that might make a good book.

When young people construct experiences through codesign, the streetscapes of learning change, leading to unanticipated relationships, social connections, emerging strengths and talents, new expertise, and self-actuated learners. We\u2019ll share codesign stories and explore codesign together.","Description":"How do adults help young people get ready to succeed in an unpredictable future? Thinking of students as the owners of schools might sound like a radical idea, but if it is, codesigning learning represents just one of the radical reinventions our schools need as we educate children who will live into the 22nd century. If educators believe in a vision that young people own their own learning, how do we begin to see them as owning the environment and settings of their schools? What if the spirit of the community was grounded in learning partnership, not hierarchy?  \r\n\r\nThe young people we have known, in many places, at every age, are incredible humans who have not yet learned what they cannot do - unless we tell them that aggressively and continually. They are the definition of potential, living a \u201cgrowth mindset\u201d without any coaching. They are creative, communicative, investigative, exploratory - unless we stop them.\r\n\r\nDespite successes we have witnessed first-hand in alternative public schools such as the Science Leadership Academy and STEAM Academy in Lexington, Ky., it seems extraordinarily difficult for comprehensive public PK-12 systems to change to practices that lead to young people being fully participatory in designing their own learning rather than existing apart from it. Yet, it can happen. \r\n\r\nWe believe codesign is a solution path to making young people partners in and architects of their own learning. Let\u2019s imagine together how codesign can change cultural, social, economic, and generational norms usually held static in a school community.","Link":["https:\/\/www.socolmoran.com\/","https:\/\/vascl.org\/","https:\/\/learningcampfire.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We\u2019ll share a few codesign stories and then explore codesign together through participant-generated questions, discussion, and collaborative experience. We\u2019ll kick out a few ideas from codesigners (learners and teachers) we have worked with, facilitate group conversation, and work together to construct how time, space, pedagogies, culture, and technologies shift in a codesigning learning community. Participants will exit with codesigned learning intentions to engage young people of all ages together in codesign with the aim of amplifying learners\u2019 agency, voices, and influence in their class, school, and greater community. In light of the intensity of the last few years of disruptions to and within school communities, we will focus on rejuvenation, reimagination, and reconnection through collaborative codesign processes.","Presenter":["Pam Moran","Ira Socol"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Virginia School Consortium for Learning","SocolMoran Partners"],"PresenterEmail":["irasocol@gmail.com","pammoran@socolmoran.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":143,"ScheduleLocationID":27,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"We are excited about the opportunity to return onsite to participate in Educon.
