@CulinaryArtsNHS@jmcusano I think this is an area where it is important to know and be able to identify your own strengths and weaknesses for your students as a model. My students know that I am horrible with technology, but I do give them the option to use it whenever possible. #pennlit15
I definitely see this with ZipGrade! I have almost immediate feedback on large tests that would take me days to grade. AND I can look at data and percentages of how students answered each question- were there common missed areas? #pennlit15
I think technology inspires learning the best when there is some form of inquiry driving the learning. Also, it can be effective for providing immediate feedback in real time which is extremely helpful for both teacher and student. #PennLit15
Some students are extremely comfortable using technology and others still clearly or not- the variety of products makes it seem as though students really have ownership of what they are doing and playing to their strengths. #pennlit15
@jmcusano I have found success in allowing the students choice in choosing whether or not to use technology at all or the type of technology they use. #pennlit15
@JKirchnerPMHS I've also had more success getting students to be engaged and do their best work when they know their classmates will be seeing what they've done (either through gallery walks, expert/summary groups, hanging projects up) or depending on them to teach them the info #pennlit15
@FryerBio I would also add just being involved in the task. Even if they are not connected to the material- making the choice to be active participants in the lesson. #pennlit15
