FETC 2019 Dates

Increase student engagement, student effort, and student results by starting with the vision, applying effective pedagogy, and then use tools that leverage your time and effort and excite your students. Computers don’t teach, Apps don’t teach, TEACHERS teach. Technology does not replace educators. Active learning is an instructional strategy that enhances lessons and engages learners. It’s important to know what tools we have and what they’re capable of providing to enhance student learning. This chat will focus on active learning tools that can increase engagement that educators can use for active learning instruction.

By integrating blended and digital learning into the classroom, educators can take learning experiences to the next level and improve student performance.

In a preview of his FETC sessions, Matt will lead a discussion on the following questions:

  • What is active learning and how does it increase student engagement?
  • What are examples of where it can be used or has been used?
  • What results can we expect with active learning?
  • How do you use EdTech tools facilitate Active Learning, and how do we use them?
  • What are your thoughts and ideas?
