    Aug 2 2023

    Extended Shownotes: https://www.micheleschmidtmoore.com/podcast/60
    Our younger children may be digital natives, but they still need explicit instruction in using technology. Designers, let's welcome our special guest, Debbie Tannenbaum. Debbie, a passionate advocate for digital literacy in young learners who shares her insights on teaching children to navigate digital tools, fostering critical thinking, and sparking creativity. Learn how she ditches traditional, algorithmic instructions, and uses a unique approach combining picture cues and rubrics, empowering students to understand the functionality of different digital tools and pick the one that best fits their purpose.

    Debbie also challenges the common assumption that children are natural digital natives and underlines the significance of actively teaching them digital skills. She shares intriguing anecdotes from her classroom experiences, discussing her effective approach to teaching collaboration and communication skills. Get drawn in as she talks about the "three seeds of creation" - choice, collaboration, and clickability, and how these serve as guiding principles in her teaching. Whether you're an educator or a parent, get ready for a trove of strategies to prepare your children for a future that hinges on digital skills. Get ready to revolutionize your approach to digital literacy!

  • Supporting Multilingual Superstars: A Deep Dive into Bilingual Education with Andrea Bitner
    Jul 11 2023

    Extended Shownotes: https://www.micheleschmidtmoore.com/podcast/59
    You might not realize it, but the child sitting next to yours in their third-grade classroom could be a budding multilingual superstar. Join me, Dr. Michele Schmidt Moore, as I sit down with the seasoned educator and English language learner teacher, Andrea Bitner, to discover the fascinating intricacies of supporting multilingual students in education.

    Andrea, with her 23 years of experience, shares riveting stories about her students - many of whom only realize their bilingual abilities around third or fourth grade - and their journey of becoming leaders in their own families by helping their parents navigate the community.

    We then navigate toward the poignant tale of the Lopez family, a courageous family of seven children who Andrea had the honor of teaching. Their story inspired Andrea to put pen to paper, resulting in her book 'Take Me Home'. We discuss her and her colleagues' efforts to support the children academically and the beautiful tradition of celebrating graduating seniors with a "T-shirt Day" every year.

    Amidst these celebrations, we also touch upon the heartbreaking story of Nancy, one of the Lopez children, whose loss had a profound impact on the family.

    Tune in to hear how Andrea shares her passion for multilingual education and how it inspired her to create her passion project encapsulated in Take Me Home.
