– Our session is based on a full Art of Digital Teaching professional development course that Odysseyware released earlier this year. We’ve built this course around the standards for quality online teaching developed by iNACOL. You can view these standards at https://www.inacol.org/resource/inacol-national-standards-for-quality-online-teaching-v2/. Session Objectives • Incorporate 3 keys of teaching digital citizenship. • Identify safe and effective digital tools. • Use formative assessments to engage with students through technology. Digital Teaching: Any instruction that utilizes digital technology and allows learners some measure of control over timing, pacing, and content. 3 Keys of Digital Citizenship 1. Establish Clear Expectations 2. Empower Safety and Effectiveness 3. Model Academic Integrity Student Engagement • Engage: To bind, as by pledge, promise, contract, or oath. • Effective digital teachers engage WITH students THROUGH technology. Make intentional connections. • When looking to add any technology, focus on tools that allow learners to interact with others. Gamified Formative Assessment • Gamification is a great way to do surface level formative assessment. Play a game, have some fun, collect quick data about how students are grasping concepts. Generate bar charts. Fun times for all! • Some learners don’t like games and don’t participate fully or at all. It can be a turnoff for non-competitive or anxious kids. Reflective Formative Assessment • Reflective formative assessment lets you take a more accurate temperature of collective knowledge. • Anonymous formative assessment can provide a forum where even the shyest, most introverted learner is willing to participate.
