5 Effective Instructional Strategies that Engage Students Using Technology
5 Effective Instructional Strategies that Engage Students Using Technology
Visible Learning+ is a body of research lead by Professor John Hattie of the University of Melbourne, Australia. His research is considered the world's largest evidence base on what works best in schools and improves student learning. Based on this information, here are 5 instructional strategies that are most effectively used to engage students when using technology.
Using Multimedia Using digital video technology that allows students to review information as many times as they wish has been linked to greater attention, greater reflection, and a reduction of cognitive load. Multimedia can stimulate more than one sense at a time increasing your ability to reach different learners and hold their attention longer.
Tools to Try: EdPuzzle, vetted videos from YouTube, BrainPop
Computer-Assisted Instruction Software that is designed to teach specific skills, methods and concepts have the potential to accelerate instruction. These interactive programs can help illustrate concepts through animation, sound, and demonstration. They allow students to move at their own pace and work individually or together in groups, while the software provides immediate feedback.
Tools to Try: IStation, Stemscopes
Virtual Reality provides simulations and augmented reality to help students experience activities they wouldn't normally have. Imagine taking students on a trip across the milky way or traveling deep into the inner workings of a plant cell. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality(AR) offer students a new way to engage in learning.
