1-Min Monitor Screenagers In-class Engagement and Learning with Interact...

When pilots fly airplanes they continually get instant feedback as they monitor the location, weather, time, and many, many other factors. And I’m glad they do because monitoring and feedback keep people safe.

But when learners walk into a classroom they may or may not get feedback until they get their first quiz scores back, and that can 3 weeks, 5 weeks, or even longer. Even as a professional seminar leader, back in the day, I wasn’t able to monitor learning and engagement other than evals at the end.



Do you think that’s fair?

7 Keys Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time

7 Ways Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time In life it has been my experience that believing in yourself has more to do with success than most any other factor. Don’t you agree? When you believe in yourself then you make the decisions that support your success. Often, we hear complaints about how Engaging Screenagers (aren’t we all now) are not making the best decisions with their time, but are we helping them learn how to use their time for what’s most important? Are they learning to, as Stephen Covey says, “Put first things first?” The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change For example deciding not to play video games for hours on end (a few minutes for a break is great, but long term it becomes  junk-engagement)  can open those hours for hours on end of learning ( optimal engagement .)    In the following I will describe what I learned when I went back to Graduate school, but I realize (now) how important thes

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers In school, don’t we teach students they are to give the right answer or they fail? In life, don’t those who fail the most become the most successful? Aren’t we somehow missing the picture in education? Isn’t there a way to let students learn that failing is just learning what doesn’t work? Why is this important? Michael Jordan and Jack Ma are both famous for failing and they are both quite successful because they learned to turn failure into learning and kept trying.

Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers

Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers Thinking/Talking I go to a lot of conferences with a lot of really smart people and there was something in I noticed way back when I first started attending those conferences. What I noticed is that many of those really smart people do a lot of thinking and talking and that and very little actual prototyping and trying to get feedback. In academia, we use the Scientific Method of research were we create a hypothesis and then gather data that either supports or does not support our hypothesis. This process inherently takes a long time to complete, and as the world is changing so quickly, at times the research can be outdated before it is published.  (junk engagement) Interestingly I’ve seen lot of research on what they call the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and yet very little of that research is actually used by teachers in the classroom. What I’m wondering is, shouldn’t that research be benefitting
