Digital Badge #B Chapter 2

Uses for Educational Technology

STUDENT-CENTERED CLASSROOM
MISSION POSSIBLE!




 Today's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to allow your students the opportunity to run a student-centered classroom. This will involve cunning and mastery of any and all slang decoders available...contact the Professor for further instructions...Teacher out!


SUGGESTIVE USES OF POWTOON.COM


After exploring this video I believe we can introduce the students to this technology and allow them to discuss within groups what they feel are the most important rules. Take notes on the board for them but never interrupt. When they are decided on rules, they can develop their response to the assignment using Powtoon.com.

    Wow - not one, but two, creative digital tools to share your learning! :) It looks like you had fun with them and I bet you can imagine how your students would engage if they had the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge with one of these creative tools (rather than write another paper!). And, don't forget for future to add credit to your own creations in the Resources section.

    Allowing students to participate in the classroom routines, assessment creation, etc can really be empowering - it permits students to take ownership for their own learning and that can be so long lasting. If students are not invested in the process, the results are usually less than desirable.
