Teachers evolve into facilitators of learning who empower their students and apply ISTE standards for students in their practice. Teachers:
- foster a culture of student agency where learners are empowered to take ownership over their learning goals and outcomes.
- manage the use of technology and student learning strategies in digital platforms, virtual environments, hands-on makerspaces or in the field.
- create learning opportunities that challenge students to use a design process and computational thinking to innovate and solve problems.
- model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge or connections.
This week's experience is all about student agency, and giving students the opportunity to be creative, computational thinkers by empowering them to take control of their learning experience. You'll also be learning about HTML embed codes, which allow you to add more interactivity into a webpage, website, or LMS (learning management system - like Canvas). You then learn to use a free tool that lets you build interactive activities, and then embed an activity you create into your website/webpage.
- Discover ways you can give your students agency in their learning.
- Think about ways teachers can manage technology in their learning experiences.
- Learn what computational thinking is, and how it crosses curriculum boundaries.
- Explore and learn 6 new technology tools that could be useful to you.
- Learn about the importance of creativity, and think about ways you can foster creativity in your classroom.
- Create an interactive activity that you embed into your website/webpage.
