With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all.” Barry Schwartz: “Increased choice decreases satisfaction with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as significant as jobs. It [increased choice] requires increased time and effort and can lead to anxiety, regret, excessively high expectations, and self-blame if the choices don’t work out.” Jam study by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper Barry Schwartz - “More Isn’t Always Better” - Barry Schwartz - “The Paradox of Choice” - Today’s Guests: Jesse Lubinsky () - Jesse Lubinsky is currently the Chief Learning Officer of Ready Learner One LLC and has nearly 20 years of public school experience as a teacher and administrator.

Catlin’s blog post — Would You Rather: Designing with Choice in Mind - Educational Duct Tape book Sneak Peek - Chapters 8 #EduDuctTape Question - “How can I measure my students’ understanding, not just their knowledge of the right or wrong answer?” Tools for video, audio, animation, visuals + Swiss Army knives Cult of Pedagogy podcast with Katie Novak and Mirko Chardin — If Equity is a Priority, UDL is a Must - “What is good for some, is good for all!” REFLECT — provide different ways students can demonstrate their understanding of something.

Catlin's Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset Endorsement: "Education is one ‘make it work’ moment after another (hence the need for duct tape)! Technology can be incredibly useful, yet the sheer volume of educational technology tools is daunting. In this engaging book, Jake Miller guides teachers through an exploration of technology tools to help them develop more confidence in their selection and use of technology to meet the needs of their students. It isn't about the number of tools you use; it's how you use them that matters!" /episode/index/show/eduducttape/id/20150855

One of the most important questions educators can ask. Engagement is the “Skeleton key” that can unlock academic success Classroom engagement has stumped educators for years and led to pervasive myths about what engagement looks like. Superhero teacher myth - We don’t have to have these captivating personalities. However, passion and excitement for a topic/learning can be conveyed. Remote Learning - A national anxiety about student engagement. “Students are not… logging in, completing assignments, sharing online, turning on cameras, etc.” How can we use this moment of disruption and chaos to try and apply some innovative thinking to recreate schools/classrooms to ignite a passion of learning and truly engage students in relevant learning? TPACK & SAMR - Frameworks for Technology Integration TPACK Model - (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) SAMR Model - (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) - Active learning - Students learn best when they get to interact at all times in the lesson. This leads to interactive content! - archive of text-based resources - articles, subject, grade, lexile Free and Paid options From Sam’s New EdTech Classroom - () Think EdPuzzle but for articles Fully Dynamic Text with accessibility baked into the articles Upload your own content - turn an existing webpage, PDF, or video into interactive content.

It motivates everybody! Variety - We should be exposing students to lots of different tools and programs. That’s what authentically build skills and foundation technology skills and prepare students to be fluidly navigating digital spaces. “Students need to be technologically ambidextrous” 🥳 Celebration of the Adjacent Possible John Hartmann Tina Glanski 👏 Ways to Support the Show or Connect with Jake & other Duct Tapers!
