Reinventing Learning

Over the summer and last week I had the chance to present about Reinventing Learning. This session is about 21st century skills. Last spring, our district identified 8 high-impact instructional practices. One of the practices we identified was 21st century skills. This practice includes making real-world connections, using multimedia tools, digital citizenship, HOTS questions and flexible grouping.

As a former CTE Counselor and current Ed Tech Trainer, I prefer to focus on real-world connections and multimedia tools. These two areas can engage students, motivate students as well as make learning relevant and visible!

Some of the tools we explored included Skype in the Classroom, Virtual Fieldtrips and digital storytelling.

I changed the presentation from summer to fall to incorporate hyperdocs to promote more engagement, interaction and critical thinking.
