How to Find Your Avatar

from Hack Learning · host Mark Barnes

Teacher and student engagement expert Jim Sturtevant joins Mark Barnes in a discussion about the concept of the avatar -- no, not the movie. Sturtevant, author of You've Gotta Connect and Hacking Engagement, explains the power of the avatar for engaging kids and helping teachers and parents learn all they can about their most important target audience. Sturtevant details how he gets kids to open up about themselves with a simple online survey and then uses this information to discover the student avatar and help kids expand this metacognitive process outside of the classroom, into the real world. This is How to Find Your Avatar.
