Teachers, Please Give Actionable Feedback

We are still in the middle of the COVID19 crisis, but home learning seems to be going well. Teachers are doing a great job of connecting with students while managing their own crazy lives. In this vlog post, I recommend that reachers avoid “Good Job” or “Well Done” when giving feedback to students. Instead giving them actionable and specific feedback to encourage them, be constructively critical, and give them items to work on with a timeline for review.

Flip Your Online Learning

During COVID19, we have lost the opportunity to engage in flipped learning because we aren’t meeting students face to face. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t engage in this valuable approach to teaching and learning. In this vlog entry, I suggest you flip your online learning by combining office hours style video conferencing and basic pre-recorded sessions to give students better engagement and feedback on their work.

You’re Doing Great – EdTech in the Time in COVID19

You're Doing Great During #COVID19

A restart of The EdTech Vlog in the middle of the COVID19 crisis. I am currently doing work as a consultant, a parent, business owner, EdTech support, PE coordinator, and at home learning coordinator. It’s tough…yet I see others having greater difficulty and still doing amazing things. I just wanted to say, YOU’RE DOING GREAT!

Digital Literacy

EdTech in schools at its heart is about Digital Literacy. Being digitally literate is something that effects all elements of the education fields. We need to work toward Digitally Literate students, teachers, parents, schools, EdTech companies, classrooms, and much more. In this vlog, I talk about work I am doing around Digital Literacy in schools and how we can view being Digitally Literate across all elements of EdTech.

The Blueprint for Technology in Education

The Blueprint for Technology in Education is an initative to map our all the touchpoints of technology (academic, operational, data, etc.) in a school or school district. It will be used as a common resource for schools to self-assess their technology, to strategically plan, and to better connect with vendors by having a shared understanding of how technology is used. In the run up to FETC 2019, this vlog describes the Blueprint and discusses what we talk about in Orlando at the conference.
