Increase Student Engagement
with Flipgrid, Edpuzzle, and Nearpod
It's not the tech!
Good Instructional Strategies + Tech
It's key to remember technology will not replace you as a teacher, unless you let it. You are the instructional designer, expert in your content area, and versed on research based instructional strategies. You select the learning goals and then shape the instruction to help your students meet those instructional goals. YOU select the tech then that will complement your learning goals and help the diverse needs of your students.
But with that said, I am going to introduce you to 3 tech tools I think are very versatile and will help you meet instructional goals with your students. We are then going to dive deeper into each tool, explore ways to integrate it into your instruction, and activities to implement with your students.
Tech Tools
