In this episode I discuss 5 best practices of using technology in the classroom. Presented as a top 5 list. It's not. But it is a list of 5 really good practices.
2.f- Coach teachers in and model incorporation of research-based best practices in instructional design when planning technology-enhanced learning experiences.

In this episode I talk about using a variety of assessments with technology including Quizizz, and also ways to collect and use achievement data.  

2.g- Coach teachers in and model effective use of technology tools and resources to continuously assess student learning and technology literacy by applying a rich variety of formative and summative assessments aligned with content and student technology standards. 

2.h- Coach teachers in and model effective use of technology tools and resources to systematically collect and analyze student achievement data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

In this episode I talk about modeling and unleashing higher-order thinking and creative thinking with BreakoutEDU and Breakout type games and game design.   2d- Coach teachers in and model design and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences emphasizing creativity, higher-order thinking skills and processes, and mental habits of mind (e.g., critical thinking, metacognition, and self-regulation)

In this episode I discuss how differentiation and technology go hand in hand when we allow students choice in what specific content they learn, their process of learning it and how the projects they use to demonstrate their learning, as well as how students can play a role in goal setting and evaluation with student designed single point rubrics, that can be adjusted along the way.

2b- Coach teachers in and model design and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences using a variety of research based, learner-centered instructional strategies and assessment tools to address the diverse needs and interests of all students.

2e- Coach teachers in and model design and implementation of technology-enhanced learning experiences using differentiation, including adjusting content, process, product, and learning environment based upon student readiness levels, learning styles, interests, and personal goals.

In the episode I talk about using tech tools in interdisciplinary units, solving real world problems with 3D design and 3D printing. 

Check out TinkerCad and Sketchup.

In this episode I talk about a collection of web apps from Northwestern University Knight Lab and how they can be used to address both content and technology standards.
