  • 2 Truths & 1 Lie
  • Question #1: How can teachers show off Student Creations (or have the students show off their own creations)?
    • Sean: “Make sure you are designing lessons to ensure students are creating.”
    • Teacher created websites for showcasing exemplary work
    • Google Sites - sites.google.com
    • Weebly - education.weebly.com
    • Sean: “Are we creating an environment that students feel confident in their creations and can share openly and get feedback. The students should know that the work they do adds value to others learning and understanding?”
    • Students need to have opportunities and choices to create with freedom of expression.
    • Google Drawings activity: Everyone follows the teacher’s spoken instructions (i.e., “use the line tool, now draw a rectangle”), then show how each student’s creation is unique. - drawings.google.com

    • Student Digital Portfolios
    • Example of one of Jake’s old student digital portfolios - youtube.com/watch?v=MLtX04MMimI
    • Jake: “It is important that portfolios aren’t just showing off the amazing work, they’re showing off the amazing growth.  And to do that, you have to say ‘This is the work that I started with and it’s not perfect and these are the things that are not great about it. This is the work that I’m doing now and this is the growth that I’ve seen.’”
  • Question #2: How can educators ensure that all students get an opportunity to be heard and have the opportunity to share?

  • Personalizing pathways - ensuring every student has what is needed to be successful!
    • “This was difficult years ago when we only had books, paper, pencils. HOWEVER, we can lean on blended learning and technology-enhanced learning models to remove barriers.”
  • Choice Boards - Research proves that any level of choice improves student motivation.

Catlin's Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset Endorsement: "Education is one ‘make it work’ moment after
another (hence the need for duct tape)! Technology can be incredibly useful, yet the sheer volume of educational technology tools is daunting. In this engaging book, Jake Miller guides teachers through an exploration of technology tools to help them develop more confidence in their selection and use of technology to meet the needs of their students. It isn't about the number of tools you use; it's how you use them that matters!"

Sam Kary - Engaging Learning with TPACK, SAMR, and EdTech20 May 202101:14:49

🧼 Soapbox Moment: Sinus Pressure and Pandemic Teaching Pressure

🗣️Get on the Season 3 Finale Episode!

📞 Today’s Guest: Sam Kary

🏆 2 Truths & 1 Lie

🤔 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
  • 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 
  • 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.
    • “Students need to be technologically ambidextrous”

  • Today’s Guest: Dr. Monica Burns
  • A new social media - Clubhouse
  • 2 Truths & 1 Lie
  • Educational Duct Tape Question:  How can I hear from all of my students?
    • Giving kids choice, agency, and options increases your ability to hear from everyone.
    • What tools can assist with providing choice?
    • Remove barriers for students by selecting tools that allow more students to participate.
    • Ask yourself, “How can we leverage tools that my students and I already use?”
    • Seesaw - An any age tool!
      • Seesaw breakdown:
        • Teachers push out activities (assignments) to students.
        • Students can respond to an activity as directed or more open ended.
        • Many ways for students to respond and show their work - Picture, video, draw, video of drawing, text, links, files, audio
      • Seesaw can act as a LMS. Think Google Classroom + digital portfolio + parent communication!
      • The Easy Ed Tech Podcast episode discusses Seesaw + Book Creator: https://classtechtips.com/2020/10/06/icons-in-early-childhood-082/
      • “I already have Google Classroom. Do I need Seesaw?” - It doesn’t have to be an either/or. Depends on goals and learning environment.
      • Could be used for only a couple of students for those that need more ways to respond.  Lots of complementary aspects of using it.
    • BookCreator - audio, video, picture responses for students.
    • Padlet
    • Easy Ed Tech podcast - “My #1 EdTech Tip for Teachers”

 #EduDuctTape Question: How can I formatively assess my students?

  • Pear Deck - “It doesn’t feel like an assessment.”
  • Nearpod
  • Jamboard
    • students respond with or without name on a jam.
    • Knikole recommends:
      • Putting 1 question per frame
      • Using post-it colors strategically (red = I don’t get it, yellow = I’m not so sure, green = I’m ready to share)
      • Discussing digital citizenship when using Jamboard
      • We discussed the lack of a revision history on Jamboard. However, it has rolled out in the time since the interview was recorded! See Alice Keeler's article about the Revision History in Jamboard here.
  • Padlet - “you can do so many different things!”
    • Students can respond with text, videos, audio, images, drawings, screencasts, links.... just about anything!
    • The big issue is the limitations of their free plan. For a new user, you'll only get 3 active "walls," but you can archive, delete, or clear them.
    • Individual Pricing or School Pricing
  • Mentimeter - lots of different options (polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A, etc)
    • The big issue here is that their free plan only allows 2 question slides and 5 quiz slides per presentation.
    • Here is their education Pricing
  • Formative - great for data and tracking of standards-based mastery
    • Their paid plan adds in student growth tracking
  • Classkick

  • 2 Truths & 1 Lie
  • #EduDuctTape Question: How can we implement technology in the music classroom to engage students in music-learning and music-making?
    • Casey advocates for the use of edtech in order to be culturally relevant for your students
    • Casey’s question for himself: “How are my students making music each day”
    • Mobile apps to use as a tuner or as an instrument
    • NearPod
      • Initially, Casey used it all on his teacher screen
      • As time went on and Casey got access to more devices, he increased his use of its formative assessment features
      • Nearpod can still be useful if you're not 1:1, Casey has used with students in groups or in stations
      • The use of Nearpod for data collection across multiple classes and 100s of students was valuable for Casey
      • Nearpod VR allows him to present in a more rich way
        • One of the music education standards involving connecting music to other elements and showing a location relating to the music hits this.
      • Draw It slides to draw rhythms, show compositions, etc. to replace paper processes
    • Flipgrid - for Chorus auditions
    • Incredibox - premade loops
    • GarageBand - not the best in primary grades
    • Casey’s advice: start small, it’s okay to take small steps.

Episode Notes Available at: jakemiller.net/eduducttape-episode-49

  • 2 Truths & 1 Lie
  • Educational Duct Tape Question: "How do I teach mathematical problem solving digitally?"
    • "We are coming from a position where we have always taught it without technology, we should give ourselves a lot of grace."
    • In-N-Out burger question
    • Desmos Activity Builder for a real-world problem
      • Desmos has pre-built classroom activities, as well as the "Activity Builder" for making your own.
      • Use drag-and-drop editing to add content to an interactive slide deck (text boxes, sketches, graphs, etc.)
      • Slides can be oneway (providing info to students) or interactive (text questions, drag-and-drop, sketch, card sorts, etc.)
      • Can see an overlay view that is similar to what Pear Deck offers
      • Teacher.desmos.com
      • Desmos Marbleslides
      • Desmos can anonymize student names and freeze student screens
      • Sliders let students explore elements of problems, patterns, and graphs (for example, changing the m or b in y=mx + b)
    • "A lot of the way that we value mathematics in the United States is on getting the right answers quickly and efficiently. As a teacher, I was really good at creating math robots who could get the answers, but really didn't know what they were talking about."
    •  Focus on real-world problem-solving in mathematics → mathematical modeling
    • "It's easy to enter into, but challenging to master and that, I think, is very satisfying in general."
    • Open Middle Math
    • Open Middle with Desmos Activity Builder
    • The Dunning-Kruger Effect - "The more that you learn, the more that you realize you don't know."
