Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset

What happens when two education nerds talk books, buffaloes, and Brisk? In this special episode, I join Mike Brilla on The Inspired Teacher Podcast to discuss the role of AI in classrooms, building a professional learning community, and the adjacent possible. We get candid about cell phones, feedback, tech integration, and remembering our "why" as educators. Tools we mention include MagicSchool, Diffit, Claude, ChatGPT, and Brisk. You'll laugh, reflect, and leave with ideas you can try tomorrow. #EduDuctTape This interview was originally aired on The Inspired Teacher by Mike Brilla.

Use that set of questions for a Jeopardy game, in a Google Form, or in another platform like Quizizz. If you have it organize the questions, answers, and point values correctly, you can easily turn them into a spreadsheet upload for Quizizz or Blooket.

"Podcasting Mindset" - It doesn't have to be about the tech! Students have passions. Podcasting or speaking about their passions and giving them opportunities to share what they know about content. The goal isn't about launching on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Schools & classrooms are the safe space for them to fail and learn. There are alternate mediums for podcasts - Slides with audio, PDFs, etc. Just need to use the right tool at the right time. Micro-podcasting examples: Mote in Google Slides, Flipgrid mic only mode, audio files in padlet, etc — Focus on content creation! How to get students interested or exposed to listening to podcasts? Encourage student to Google "what you're interested in" podcast Teachers can find amazing podcasts related to content. Even ones with students as hosts.

With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all." Barry Schwartz: "Increased choice decreases satisfaction with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as significant as jobs. It [increased choice] requires increased time and effort and can lead  to anxiety, regret, excessively high expectations, and self-blame if the choices don't work out."

Jeffery Heil  (@jheil65) - Jeffery has been an educator for 25 years. He has served as a classroom teacher, an instructional technology coach, an adjunct professor of education, and a Google in Education Trainer and Innovator. In this time he has continued to be an advocate for all students, especially those traditionally underserved by the U.S. educational institution.  He sees relationships as the core of education and strives to show all educators meaningful ways to incorporate technology into their curriculum to amplify student learning while not losing sight of the importance of seeing each student as a unique and important member of a classroom or school. Donnie Piercy (@mrpiercEy) - The 2021 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, Donnie teaches fifth grade Lexington, Kentucky. After graduating from Asbury College and earning his master's from Auburn, he has been teaching since 2007.

Sam believes strategic technology integration helps teachers create interactive, personalized, authentic learning experience as well as ensures students develop the skills they'll need for the future job market.  Website: newedtechclassroom.com YouTube channel: youtube.com/c/newedtechclassroom Twitter: @newedtechclass Email: [email protected] 🏆 2 Truths & 1 Lie Checkout this video about one of Sam's Clues! youtu.be/ofnI9aLovAE 🤔 Educational Duct Tape Question:  How can I develop engaging instruction? One of the most important questions educators can ask. Engagement is the "Skeleton key" that can unlock academic success Classroom engagement has stumped educators for years and led to pervasive myths about what engagement looks like. Superhero teacher myth - We don't have to have these captivating personalities. However, passion and excitement for a topic/learning can be conveyed. Remote Learning - A national anxiety about student engagement. "Students are not… logging in, completing assignments, sharing online, turning on cameras, etc." How can we use this moment of disruption and chaos to try and apply some innovative thinking to recreate schools/classrooms to ignite a passion of learning and truly engage students in relevant learning? TPACK & SAMR - Frameworks for Technology Integration TPACK Model - (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) tpack.org SAMR Model - (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) - edutopia.org/article/powerful-model-understanding-good-tech-integration Active learning - Students learn best when they get to interact at all times in the lesson. This leads to interactive content! Actively Learn - archive of text-based resources - articles, subject, grade, lexile Free and Paid options From Sam's New EdTech Classroom - Actively Learn Tutorial for Teachers (youtu.be/lj154A6QJk8) Think EdPuzzle but for articles Fully Dynamic Text with accessibility baked into the articles Upload your own content - turn an existing webpage, PDF, or video into interactive content. Insert Multiple-choice, open-ended, poll... Rubrics, align to DOK, align to standards Whiteboard.chat vs. Whiteboard.fi  Seeing all students' work at once is huge Whiteboard.chat - completely free, has every feature which makes it overwhelming From Sam's New EdTech Classroom - Top Tech Tools for Teacher in 2021 (youtu.be/C7etwbRgqsg?t=214) Whiteboard.fi - interface is more user-friendly, freemium From Sam's New EdTech Classroom - How to Use Whiteboard.fi: Free Digital Whiteboard (youtu.be/c2Kq9M_G8Vc) Other ways to ensure student engagement from Sam: Personalized instruction - ST Math, Prodigy UDL Tools for differentiation Authentic Assessments of Knowledge ie use the 4 C's, (think Critically, Create, Communication, Collaboration) create vs consume, digital portfolios Gamification - Is not just about games, it is about tracking progress and building upon something you've accomplished in the past. It motivates everybody! Variety - We should be exposing students to lots of different tools and programs. That's what authentically build skills and foundation technology skills and prepare students to be fluidly navigating digital spaces.

Educational Duct Tape Question:  How can I make blended learning dynamic and meaningful? Keep things practical. Bottomline, learning is the priority. Pushing boundaries of our traditional education system. Dynamic vs Static Characters in ELA Static = old school, characters stay the same Dynamic = Growth, going beyond The Dynamic Learning Framework - going beyond the bell, grade level & subject, tools, due date, the walls.

Choice Boards! - self-directed learning, autonomy, and ownership Choice can happen in many ways - Content, process, product, and MORE!
