The video story should capture key moments from either a single lesson or a unit of study, illustrating how Knowledge Building unfolds in classrooms. Submissions may focus on innovations involving generative AI, though other areas are equally welcome. The purpose of the video story is to provide a deeper, more nuanced view of Knowledge Building in action\u2014showcasing student ideas, teacher moves, technology and analytics use, and collaborative knowledge advances, etc. These video\u2011based narratives will serve as valuable artefacts for the community, supporting teacher learning and highlighting teachers as inventors and innovators.&nbsp; In preparing your submission, you may consider the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Abstract (around 60 words)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title\/topic\/theme of lesson&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Context (subjects, student, and teacher background)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowledge Building challenge\/ big idea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rationale of design: KB principles\/pedagogy\/technology&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implementation and selection of clips (salient features: principle-based approach; scaffolding, technology; KB talk; analytics and different features)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interesting incidents and stories of student knowledge building<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reflection: lessons learned, challenges, next steps, and emerging questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Others (e.g., systemic knowledge building; teacher-researcher collaboration)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OTHER FORMATS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You are welcome to propose alternative formats, such as demonstrations, workshops, or design hackathons, that do not fit the categories above.
