ISTE 2019


I am excited to attend ISTE 2019 in Philly. I can't believe that the #1 Global Ed. Tech conference is in my home state. I look forward to learning and sharing ideas. I will post my resources that I will be sharing with others throughout the conference. Even if you are not able to attend the conference then you can still check-out these resources.

Redcay's STEMoscope Model


After #isteTEN, I was notified that my the online copy of my research was released. My research study led to a new model called STEM-oscope. This model combines metacognition, social robots, and STEM Challenges. You can check-out the full article here.

I hope that you can stop by the PAECT Regional Space in Broad Street Atrium. I can highlight some literacy-based STEM Challenges from our PDE STEM Toolkit.  Also, I have my robot Robin from RoboKind.  I can code her to say a customized message to you too. You can play with some VR from Nearpod.  I have an interactive FlipGrid that provides videos explaining different ideas to enhance your STEM Instruction. I will have a link to a STEM Breakout EDU that I co-authored.

The first 25 people will get a Creation Crate Junior TechCard kit. You get a chance to make your own balloon car!  



In PAECT Regional Space, we are collecting new socks for kids. The socks will be donated to Needleworker's Guild of America, who will then distribute the socks across our Commonwealth!

Oh, boy! Monday will be a day filled with green screen fun!! I have included a snapshot of the 10 Ways That You Can Use Green Screens to Enhance Elementary ELA. Also, at the Interactive Lecture I will have PRIZES! Also, you will get chance to play and explore! Padcaster will be coming to help take pictures too.

Did you hear the news? RoboKind's robot, Robon, empowers learners! In my classroom I code Robon to act as a teacher assistant. My research study (published by InTechOpen) demonstrated that students show higher levels of understanding and engagement are notable when social robots are used in conjunction with STEM Challenges. Also, I use Robon to empower My Girls Who Code Robot Club. If you are interested in learning more then please stop by the Camcor Booth #1344 for my Teacher Feature at 1:30 and 2:30. I hope to see you there!

#OneWord for the New Year


What is your one word for the New Year?

Jon Gordon posted a challenge on Twitter for people to share their one word for the New Year. I decided to bring this same challenge to my second grade students. They came up with some wonderful ideas!

Here are a couple of video posts from my students ...

Virtual Reality Research


I completed a qualitative explanatory research study to explore second grade students' experiences with VR field trips. I created a new model to explain the five main themes that emerged from the study. The new model is called Redcay's VR Field Trip Acclimation Model.  My model describes how students are changed by their experiences as they progress through a developmental continuum. If you are interested in my research then please check out my videocast.  Here is a supporting handout.
