Jake's Keynote: Educational Duct Tape
Click the drop down to read more about this topic.
In a multi-session, content-rich, idea-filled conference like this one, educators can fall into the trap of “paradox of choice,” which often keeps educators from integrating *any* of their newly learned skills. In this session, Jake will share about how “Educational Duct Tape” can help educators overcome this paradox and choose a technology or two to add to their toolbox. Learn how Jake’s silly metaphor can be used as an #edtech integration mindset in your classroom, tomorrow!
