Dr. Reshan Richards  
In this session, participants will explore and practice making whiteboard videos for instruction in the math classroom, a process that can quickly translate into engaging and powerful student assignments with the same approach. Participants will walk away with an expanded toolkit for the in-person, online and hybrid classroom.

ISTE Standards: For Educators:
Designer
  • Use technology to create, adapt and personalize learning experiences that foster independent learning and accommodate learner differences and needs.
  • Design authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools and resources to maximize active, deep learning.
For Students:
Creative Communicator
  • Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations.

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to have participants become more familiar with research and practices around qualitative formative assessment & visual communication. This is important when navigating the challenges of teaching & communicating with students/audiences whose composition is both varied and constantly changing (in person, remote, mixed, etc.).

Outline

I. Introduction and warm up "doodle" exercise (10 min - 1/6th of the time)
II. Introduction of whiteboard concept with supporting research and use case examples (10 min - 1/6th of the time)
III. Practice 1: teaching live with a whiteboard (10 min - 1/6th of the time)
IV. Practice 2: creating a just-in-time whiteboard instructional video (20 min - 1/3 of the time)
V. Sharing, celebration, & wrap (10 min - 1/6th of the time)
