Creating Digital Content (text, data, graphics, video,
audio)use tools you have in class (document cameras, ipads, smartboard, phones) to record demonstrationshave students screencast/podcast demonstrations and reviewsuse software (Adobe InDesign) to create interactive PDFs and ePubs (using the above screencasts or youtube demos)export your PPTs as videosuse your LMS every day for all assignments (assign and turn-in)place your content and theirs into an online binder (OneNote)use format compatible with all devices - ePub let them talk to you - blogs, twitter, Reddit
Creating & Curating Content (teacher & student)
Delivering Digital Content
Use your LMS for all lessons - no LMS, no problem - Moodle/Canvas/Edmodo/Google DriveCreate a routine of flipped learning - short videos, screencapture, animations, etc Format your digital content for all devices - mp4/mp3Move your existing PPT, PDF, Word docs online (see OneNote/eBooks/interactive PDFs)Work with your colleagues - more variety and better coverage of content when more create/convertHave USBs for “no internet” days
Creating & Curating Content (teacher & student)
Diana Bidulescu, M.Ed.
Teaching DigitallyUse your equipment - easier/faster for you, engaging for themDigital doesn’t mean always online - use existing softwareDocument cameras can be connected to the smartboard/projector/computer to project pre-recorded contentSmartboards record and playback contentUse backchanneling in and out of class - TodaysMeet, your LMS, etc - students still want to ask questions after they left your classTweet out/tweet-chat - assignment reminders, links to flipped content Use your experts - your students will know more about troubleshooting than you and want to show offHave students screencast their content practice and share it with you - good examples make for great flipped material
Creating & Curating Content (teacher & student)
LMS
Blogs Podcasts
Backchannel
Screencasts
Routines (who, what, when)Establish one single online location for content - your students have to know WHERE they find the lesson/assignment for the day (LMS, online binder, backchannel, etc) before they are in class or when they are not at school establish a sequence that students can anticipate - starter, lesson/guided practice, individual/group practice, exit ticketestablish the location for all elements in your sequence (online, on computers, etc)Have a starter/check-in project? Keep it in the same place online (site/platform, etc)Want your students to deliver projects on time? Send them automatic reminders (calendar invites with alerts)Clarify logistics - e.g. charging stations rules: students expecting to run out of power must sit near charging stations from the beginning of the class (cuts down on distractions)
Managing the Digital Classroom
Expectationsclarify logistics - e.g. charging stations rules: students expecting to run out of power must sit near charging stations from the beginning of the class (cuts down on distractions)broaden the range of assessment submissionshave the students create & share OneNote binders for your class - once shared you have access to all their work, anytime, and they know you can see what they did/didn’t do for the dayclarify consequences for technology misuseplan for no/low technology days be consistent
