What does research say about using Technology effectively?

• Students should be motivated, engaged and learning actively

• Learning should be authentic • Learning should be collaborative • Students should be the explorers and

producers of knowledge • Instruction and learning should be integrated

across curriculum • Students should be proficient in digital age

literacy skills • Assessments should be performance based

How do I engage students?

• You need to frame projects differently. • We no longer need students to just locate

facts and regurgitate them. • In this digital age it's too easy to copy and

paste the answers. • The way to frame projects differently is to

create an Essential Question for students to answer that involves the desired skills of higher-level thinking

Design the Activity

• What activities will engage students and form knowledge?

• Think of activities that: Require students to answer a How?, Which?, or Why? question allowing students to create new knowledge or information

• Pertain to the real world, ideally students' personal interests

• Allow for student creativity and choice; and • Present a high but acceptable level of challenge
