Hi Shaylin,
I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the importance of interactive and multimedia learning. Iām looking forward to working with you throughout this course! I noticed we both made positive connections with the reading The Hidden Importance of Teaching with Stories by AJ Juliani. I would have loved to participate in the class-wide Buzz session- it sounds like a wonderful activity to engage students without the need for technology! I noticed at the end of your post you had written that you would like to familiarize yourself with other ways students can learn better with the aid of technology. My recommendations are the websites Flipgrid, Explain Everything, and EDpuzzle. These three websites were used by my mentor teacher during my final practicum, and I noticed they were all great tools for allowing students to demonstrate their learning in unique ways that go beyond simple pencil and paper assignments. I’m also curious about what specific strategies you like to use that avoid technology-centred approaches, and instead focus on the learner? I agree with the fact that learner-centred approaches are far more valuable for students.
