Pick a Project! -- Increase Student Engagement in Your Classroom

1. Take Attendance

Explorers: Since we just came off of a project cycle, we'll take a look at Skitch (agenda here).

2. Pick a Project!

You DO NOT want to integrate technology in your classroom just for the sake of technology, but you SHOULD be cognizant of lessons or material that might be a bit lackluster. These dull spots are the perfect places to insert some shiny tech applications to increase excitement and motivation in your classroom!

Our OBJECTIVE today is to identify a dull spot in one of our units and create a lesson utilizing technology to increase the student engagement and understanding there.

We've "studied" Socrative, Padlet, Skitch, and EdPuzzle lately, but you are certainly not limited to these apps or sites. Get creative, work together, and make magic happen in your classroom!

3. Publish To Inspire!

Committing to a project by putting it in words will help keep you accountable, but the main reason we share what we're working on is to allow others to be inspired by our ideas. Teachers come up with great ideas, and creativity breeds creativity. Share out so others can benefit!

4. Your Challenge

Let this project roll around in your head until our next Tech Tuesday, or work on it a bit between now and then. The choice is totally yours. We'll have work time again next Tech Tuesday, and we can't wait to see your new lesson!
