@MBates2019 Yes Mary. I struggled with keeping things relevant AND engaging in my practicum. The double diamond theory enables teachers to do this by focusing on a problem and continually attend to students needs by checking for feedback.
The downfall of teachers is that โ...many neat activities for students to complete, but no idea of what all these activities should add up toโ. How do we create engaging activity-based lessons while ensuring we are attending to a clear focus of the disciplinary problem? #dtk12
@TSkoby Sometimes I fear that my students will get so caught up in the game or activity that they will miss the concept entirely. I have to remember the importance of making the connection from engagement to the curriculum.
@TSkoby Interesting Tara. When I initially thought of this question ...the idea of a rubric didn't enter my brain. But I can totally see how that would keep the focus one directional. I like it!
How do we as teachers ensure our topic is broad enough to generate more than one answer, yet specific enough that it addresses the same problem? Can you think of an example? #dtk12
@TSkoby Agreed Tara. In the past I considered feedback mid lesson or even pre lesson as criticism. Perhaps it is. But its important to listen to...keeps our content engaging and interesting for our students.
