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.” Jam study by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper Barry Schwartz -  “More Isn’t Always Better” - hbr.org/2006/06/more-isnt-always-better Barry Schwartz -  “The Paradox of Choice” - ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice Today’s Guests: Jesse Lubinsky  (@jlubinsky) - Jesse Lubinsky is currently the Chief Learning Officer of Ready Learner One LLC and has nearly 20 years of public school experience as a teacher and administrator.

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. Donnie specializes in using technology to promote student inquiry, learning, and engagement.

Donnie has been invited to keynote and present at schools in thirty-three states and on four continents.

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Documenting positive behaviors as well as poor decisions Google Forms + Google Sheets Assigning Detentions, ISS, OSS didn’t help, it worsened it. 90% of kids do the right things but aren’t rewarded for it. STRONG acronym Draw winners daily, PTA prizes, incentives from local businesses Educators look at data and analyze the next steps Restorative Practice Google Forms Might lead to things like admin mediation to restore the relationship Record mediation and other restorative steps in the Form Oftentimes those students never participate in those same types of behaviors again Push-in - someone covers class while teacher talks outside of room with student Behavior is a form of language Restorative circle - student helps decide how to make up for their poor choice Recommendations to use Forms and Sheets in this way: Form Ranger - cloudlab.newvisions.org/form-ranger FormMule - cloudlab.newvisions.org/form-mule Save the Google Form link to device for quick access and submission Celebration of the Adjacent Possible Sarah R. - about GoGuardian (goguardian.com) - Access her video here - flipgrid.com/b5b2a174 Ways to Support the Show or Connect with Jake & other Duct Tapers!

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. “Students need to be technologically ambidextrous” 🥳 Celebration of the Adjacent Possible John Hartmann Tina Glanski 👏 Ways to Support the Show or Connect with Jake & other Duct Tapers!

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. From Jake’s Blog - 16 types of Media you can add in Book Creator! Great for a culminating project and for students publishing work, but also could also be for everyday learning note-taking or journal. Padlet Easy Ed Tech podcast - “My #1 EdTech Tip for Teachers” Google Slides is another great example of an easy tool that can be leveled up and has many uses.
