Why do some classrooms look the same now as they did 70 years ago? In this passionate talk, second grade teacher Kayla Delzer speaks about her mission to revitalize learning and the classroom environment. Kayla explains how to release the power in the classroom by giving students ownership of their learning and making it relevant to them.
Breaking down the four walls of the classroom allows her students to become globally connected - and you won’t believe the endeavors her students conquer by embracing purposeful technology.
Kayla Delzer is a 2nd grade teacher and Project Lead the Way Lead Teacher in West Fargo, North Dakota. In August, she will begin her 8th year of teaching 2nd grade and her second year with West Fargo Public Schools (WFPS). Teaching is her true passion in life, and she enjoys her job and helping children to love learning and become creative problem solvers. Her students are her focus in life; they are like family to her. In August 2014, she completed her master’s degree in Elementary Education.
She also serves on the Technology Task Force and Social Media Task Force for WFPS. Her classroom Twitter account, @tweetingtopdogs, has allowed her students to learn virtually with hundreds of classrooms and educational experts from all over the world.
Kayla has teamed up with several companies to improve the lives of students and teachers, and she works frequently with GoNoodle and Remind. She is highly sought after by educational and technology companies to preview and review their products.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

This is why I love Interactive Media. It really should be used more in classrooms. Teachers need to be taught how to tell what technology will assist and enhance the classroom, rather than discounting all of it as the same as the worst of it. Play is fundamental to learning, and is by definition interactive, with others and the world around them. Interactive Media, including video games (of course the value ranges), is the most immersive way to learn. Rather than reject the digital world, we need to embrace what it can do and use it to our advantage. Great talk.

Although I am not a mainstream teacher in a school as such but I found her conclusion is true at the core of how to make a change in a class and a change in student's life. "Class" here can be any thing, whether it is a boyscout group, a youth group, a community class of some sort... Thank you Kayla Delzer.

Incremental change might get me to a place of comfort, then I'll be asked to change again out of my comfort zone, and again, and...we either evolve and expand, or shrink trying to navigate in a world we hardly recognize. To have the human factor available should be comforting to many individuals such as myself.

Straight to the point, refreshing outlook on learning that should be reconsidered by all teachers really. Old methods might be obsolete in the 21 century as student has been born into high tech world therefore they need corresponding challenges so taking away technology from themthinking it's for their own good and protection, is definitely not preparing them to face the world outside. LOved the talk, the point at the end is solid.

You are amazing Kayla. I love that you are bringing light to this. It infuriates me that there are still so many educators who are unwilling to embrace change and meet the times where they are.- Social media and tech training needs to be part of professional development, implemented throughout each school district, and should be mandated for all. It's RIDICULOUS that in some classrooms in my school district the teachers have class blogs, websites, and use and teach tech in the classrooms, while right in the next room over, it's a scene from Bedrock.

I am all for having cellphones/technology in classrooms. However I am a strong advocate for it only being used in a responsible way. Students must receive the proper structure and system for the utilization of any technology in the classroom . Teachers must be creative but mindful of monitoring the instruction with purpose.

Yes, exactly. And I noticed there was no mention in the TED talk about what to do when students are using their phone for distractions and not staying on task. This is a huge problem. My husband has been teaching high school and while using the internet can definitely aid in the learning process, the majority of the time students are not using it for learning. There is a reason why the “cell phone hotel” or smart phone boxes are used.

I teach the cello, a very difficult instrument that requires calm and focus on a daily basis for many years. My students who do well are the ones who are not using technology all day long. Learning a musical instrument requires more of the brain than any other activity and there are many disadvantages of technology use that can harm the brain and the body. For children I believe it is best to severely limit its use.

Interesting. Several points are excellent; however, as a teacher of 33 years and, a pioneer in some aspects of tech/STEM eduction myself, I have learned that while American schools continue to focus more on what kids want (student focus) those schools internationally that greatly outscore us in core subjects focus on (mastery) process lessons THEN build upon alternate innovation AFTER students have learned the "how to" as the masters do it and in the process teach humble respect. They focus on maximum replication of model and concepts BEFORE venturing out stumbling due to lack of critical knowledge. For years as a technology teacher trained in Intel's Teach to the Future and an Apple Classroom of Tomorrow teacher, I strive to promote the use of technology as a vital tool to complete assignments; while many educational speakers and leaders view technology as a drill and kill tool or testing kiosk with no other purpose. Many students I work with today are motivated but over-confident and stumble through learning projects at a rapid get-it-done pace. They lack a desire to listen to even suggestion missing any opportunity to pick up on an idea. They do not want to research or work through learning steps (too boring), just do it- "skip to lesson 44", check the box and say, "I'm good" with no clue as to what they are doing or how to work with others effectively. We have to balance the equation by working with students as educators, not step aside. I believe that teachers must age-appropriately relay the rationale and provide debriefing sessions and expect students to participate fully in discourse and topical research if there is any connection to be made to what they are doing. The lessons of corroborating, interdependence, listening and, continual modification (fail/success) stamina are tough lessons for today's students. Can students teach students? Absolutely! Once they understand WHAT they are doing- what is needed vs. what is not or not being domineering in group work, etc. :)

ahhh....I'm hearing the words and voice of a Leader in Me educator who not only believes whole heartedly in unleashing potential of her learners but...who teach the correct principles to follow...from the End in Mind (purpose) to releasing power and control...to giving kids the power and voice to lead...to having creating synergy (creative collaboration AND cooperation) to really giving learners that opportunity to have a class (and school) that acts like a compass/true north ...I'm a fan of LIM and believe our world would be better off if we could get more people truly connecting to the CORE values, practices and principles that LIM teaches about. When done right...you have educators like Kayla setting a great example....when done incorrectly...well that's another story. But yes...she definitely sounds like she lives and models the Habits. Great speaker!!!
