How Technology Helps Build Student-Focused Instruction
|
Digital technologies can help increase the percentage of student focused interactions/instruction.
For instance:
When we give our student the opportunity to influence "what comes next" we are moving toward student focused instruction. In the past, it wasn't very efficient to find out what every single student in a room was thinking, confused about, needed repeated etc. But today, technology can make gathering student input efficient and highly constructive. This week we will model using technology as a tool to increase the frequency, quantity, and quality of student inputs for teachers and counselors. |
Providing Feedback |
Consider how much of your student content is text based. Are there any reasons that might inspire you to supplement or replace a text-based assignment with something in an audio file?
Since the answer to at least one of these questions is likely "yes," we are fortunate that there are many free tools available to create,store, and share audio files. |
