ITC: 137 - Take Your Discussions to the Next Level with Digital Powerups

The first time I had heard about Digital Powerups was while listening to episode 295 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Bonnie Stachowiak was interviewing Travis Thurston, the Assistant Director of Empowering Teaching Excellence. I immediately knew I needed to share this with you. Basically, students and the instructor use hashtags based on Bloom's Taxonomy to code different aspects of their online discussion posts. This enhancement helps to move the discussions to a high level as well as highlight associations between posts. This week, we are going to take a closer look at digital powerups. We will look at the different hashtags as well as provide tips for implementing them in your classroom. Come learn more.
