Finding ways to reach all students and to effectively implement new strategies and digital tools into the classroom can be overwhelming. The purpose for this session is that I want to share how some of the changes I have made in my classroom structure, instruction as well as the different digital tools that I have integrated into my classroom, have led to great benefits for my students as well as to my own practice as a teacher. This session will share ideas for creating a flexible, student-driven learning environment, where students build their confidence, relationships and collaborate on a learning adventure. I will share how my students emerged as leaders, through observing their interactions, and they openly shared their experiences, contributed to blogs, stepped out of comfort zone and took some risks
Some examples of how giving students a choice in how to show what they know and can do will enhance their learning experience and retention by making the learning more meaningful and personal.
I will share some of the most versatile tools and methods that are beneficial for anywhere learning and help students to develop the skills they need to be successful now and in the future while also develop essential SEL skills.
During the session we will talk about projects, assessments, and different ways to engage and involve students more in having choices in their learning experiences. I will share many student samples and have presentations available to show attendees how the tools are used and the benefits. I want to provide a very open, collaborative learning experience with my attendees and serve as a resource to share what has worked and really benefitted the students in my classroom, and also how I have benefitted as the teacher.
