🤔Educational Duct Tape Question: How can I develop engaging instruction?
One of the most important questions educators can ask.
Engagement is the “Skeleton key” that can unlock academic success
Classroom engagement has stumped educators for years and led to pervasive myths about what engagement looks like.
Superhero teacher myth - We don’t have to have these captivating personalities. However, passion and excitement for a topic/learning can be conveyed.
Remote Learning - A national anxiety about student engagement. “Students are not… logging in, completing assignments, sharing online, turning on cameras, etc.”
How can we use this moment of disruption and chaos to try and apply some innovative thinking to recreate schools/classrooms to ignite a passion of learning and truly engage students in relevant learning?
TPACK & SAMR - Frameworks for Technology Integration
TPACK Model - (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) tpack.org
Authentic Assessments of Knowledge ie use the 4 C’s, (think Critically, Create, Communication, Collaboration) create vs consume, digital portfolios
Gamification - Is not just about games, it is about tracking progress and building upon something you’ve accomplished in the past. It motivates everybody!
Variety - We should be exposing students to lots of different tools and programs. That’s what authentically build skills and foundation technology skills and prepare students to be fluidly navigating digital spaces.
“Students need to be technologically ambidextrous”
