#MFACAMP19

KEITH

myth of “engagement”

activity, such as swiping through an app, does not always indicate a student is engaged with the material, or learning
this can be “false” or “flawed engagement”
in this case, where there is smoke, there is not always fire
example: when student take a “quiz” using a mobile device, focusing on speed rather than the correct answer
engaging in learning goals is different than engaging in the ed tool�

quality over quantity

tools must encourage meaningful learning
should support higher-order thinking skills, such as analysis and reflective thinking
should reinforce the learning goals, and be supported with good instructional practices�

tech isn’t enough: instructional strategies are key

pedagogical and instructional strategies around the ed tech tool are essential for successful learner outcomes
here’s the good news: research shows that there is no “one best way” to integrate technology: effectiveness depends on YOUR goals, and leveraging your expertise in creating authentic learning experiences with sound pedagogical practices

ENGAGEMENT: bite-sized research

Engagement in technology-enhanced lessons does not necessarily correlate with achievement
Engagement should create an environment of active time-on-task learning
Engagement should create an environment of co-use or joint media engagement

#MFACAMP19

Studies on engagement uncovered that while students may be physically present and appear to be actively involved in using the technology tools, in reality they might still be cognitively disengaged from the learning goals (Linnenbrink &Piintrich, 2003). �
The tool should help focus student’s attention on the learning goals and the task at hand and not distract from it (Wartella, 2015).
Active learning is when students are actively focused on the learning goals and not just “busy” doing what looks like learning. “active learning occurs when children are “minds-on”—that is, engaged in thinking, reflecting, and effortful mental activity…swiping, tapping, and physically engaging with an app is not the same as “minds-on” activity. “ Ellen Wartella (2015).�
Researchers have promoted the ability to connect with others through media or while using media together as key ways children deepen their learning (e.g., Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2015; Guernsey,2012; Takeuchi & Stevens, 2011).
“joint media engagement, and socially interactive learning more generally, offer young children an environment that can help them learn through the Vygotskian notion of scaffolding, or extending children’s learning beyond what they would learn left on their own.” Ellen Wartella (2015).

Enhancement rarely occurs through applications that only use "drill and practice" methods
Enhancement encourages the use of technology to add-value by allowing students to explore, create and problem-solve (higher-level thinking)
Enhancement encourages the quality of use over the quantity

13-18 points = green light

Exceptional or very strong connection between technology, instructional strategies, and learning goals

7-12 points = yellow light

Though a connection exists between learning goals and the technology, there is opportunity to re-evaluate the lesson to improve its impact on student learning.

6 points or lower = red light

A lesson scoring in this range is meeting only one of the levels of the Framework, most often engagement.

What happens when teachers take creative risks?

#2 You demonstrate that failure is part of the process�
Have you ever had a rehearsal that has went off the rails because you didn’t anticipate your students’ needs?
Have you ever tried to explain a particular concept - rhythm, note reading, phrasing - and have it go completely over a student’s head - and not because they didn’t have the capacity to understand?
Have you ever tried to use tech in your lesson or rehearsal, and it went completely wonky on you?
Have you ever given a presentation that didn’t land quite the way you hoped?? (raise hand)�
SHARE RECAP STORY�
when we take risks - especially with technology - we show our students that fail-ing is part of our process of trying to improve as teachers�
when students understand that mistakes are part of the learning process, they are more likely to embrace the growth mindset
