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!

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.

Hey Designers,

You are on the last leg of Project You.

Raise your hand if you didn’t really do anything for your project this week.

Raise your hand if you need a boost to complete this first 30 day round

I’ve got the solution for you…

You started off you project excited to begin.  Perhaps that first day you made your change; you tried out your design and you were exuberant about your results.  Maybe you changed your bedtime routine, or made an exercise plan, or batch planned your lessons.

After week one, you had tweaked your design and made it even better

By week three, you were seeing some consistent results.  You celebrated.

Somewhere between week three and week four the momentum has waned.  The exuberance you had in your project in the beginning may be waning.

I’m here to tell you that this is normal.  Settle in for a short story and to learn what to do when you feel like giving up.

How is your Project You going? What are you doing to celebrate?  This week, I have two tasks for you to complete that are going to help enhance our designer and LEADER community.  

One: Leave a message on https://www.speakpipe.com/DesignLessonsPodcast about your project.  Tell us what you are doing and how it is going or ask a question.  We will share your designs and questions in a later episode.

The other is I thought we could use a community T-shirt.

Use the sticky note strategy to access possible ideas. Set your timer for 3 minutes and put down as many ideas as possible.  Share your favorite ones on our community padlet. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.  If you are unable to access the padlet from this page.  Go to https://www.micheleschmidtmoore.com/podcast/46.

Hey Designers:

This past week you were in the listening phase.  You paid attention or were mindful of what was working for you and what wasn’t working for you.  You asked what if questions about your life.   Now you have all of this data to take with you into the Empathy phase.

During this phase, you are going to sift through your data and choose your focus.
