Keynote Speaker
Erin Bender - Executive Director
The Point at Otterbein University
|
Erin is founding Executive Director of The Point at Otterbein University - a new collaboration, education and innovation center made possible by public officials at all levels of government, local business and community leaders, public schools, and creative faculty and students at Otterbein. It's offers student-centered collaboration and cross-disciplinary, high-impact learning that bridges learning with doing, students with professionals, in one shared space at 60 Collegeview Road, west of Otterbein's main campus. It is a conduit between abstract learning and concrete practice, blurring the lines between time spent in school and time building a career. As a result, it prepares students for success in a new economy. Her strong background in negotiations involving universities, private enterprise and public agencies immediately benefitted The Point at Otterbein University as it developed, and continues to develop, partnerships within the community and local industry.
Erin holds a juris doctorate degree from Capital University Law School and a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Wright State University. |
Sessions
Google Classroom in STEM - GinaBruce
|
Many schools and districts are using Google of Education and have access to Google Classroom. Often STEM classes appear next to impossible to have on any type of LMS with all the drawings and labs that need to be done. Over the last 3-5 years I have taken 90% of all my curriculum online to Google Classroom. This allows for even on snow days students can do their work from home.

Computer Science is for Everyone! - Eva Bradshaw - National Center for Women & Information Technology
|
Careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and computer science (CS) are critical in shaping the world we live in and solving some of its biggest challenges.
The gender gap in STEM and (CS) fields is wide and longstanding. We need to be thoughtful about the way these subjects are taught. So we are bringing CS to everyone. We recognize the importance of offering Computer Science courses. Our goal is to make sure we are encouraging everyone to sign up! Schools across the country and around the world are working to increase access to quality CS education. But while CS classes and opportunities are expanding, too many students — especially girls, Black, Latino and Native American youth — feel like it’s not for them. As a result, the whole world misses out on the diverse perspectives needed to fuel innovation and drive change. |
OTEEA Student Exhibits Exemplary Samples / Q&A - Victor Stefan & Mike Brockert - OTEEA
|
Researched based K-12 Technology Education Student Exhibits offer several valued opportunities to demonstrate ODE Standards mastery yet their are many other benefits for educators to coach students to champion opportunities available in recent years. OTEEA Exhibits Chairman Mike Brockert and Victor Stefan DTE will share Student Exhibit successes over the years at K-12 levels for all students. Technology is for Everyone! Opportunities await for those who participate! Be Prompt!

MakerSpace - Not Just a Room in the Building - Paul Shircliff
|
We will discuss Maker Centered Learning and the Maker mindset. We will share how Maker Centered Learning fosters the 5C’s (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, Community) and the 4P’s (Play, Passion, Peers, Projects) and talk about what a Maker Centered Learning environment looks like and how it functions. We will explore ways to incorporate making into every part of the curriculum and every part of the building with every student, such that every room could be considered a “MakerSpace”. Participants will make an artifact from simple supplies and share how that demonstrates something in their curriculum. We will brainstorm ways to promote the maker mindset and creativity throughout the building.
