It’s not the APP, it’s the Application: Understanding the Power of Pedagogy before Technology

Thank you for coming to my session today at the ICHRIE-SECSA Conference 2020. As I noted in the presentation,  this page is your outsourced memory for the session. Feel free to take any of these ideas and remix them and share them as you see fit. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to email me: James May.

It`s not the APP, it`s the Application!

Thanks again for joining me today for the hands-on, interactive session discussing 21st Century teaching technologies and the Power Pedagogies that underscore their use. I hope you learned a few new ideas to add to your bag of Teacher Tricks.

Thin-Slicing  

Behavioral economics is in the classroom and beyond! The concept of thin-slicing, which was popularized in Malcome Gladwell’s book Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking (2005), refers to the ability of individuals to make rapid, yet reliable judgments or decisions based on relatively modest amounts of information; such an ability, Gladwell argues, testifies to the substantial amount of unconscious, instinctive knowledge that many people have acquired over the course of their lives and professional careers.

Multi-Sensory Input

Brain Rules

Sensory integration: Stimulate more of the senses (Brain Rules by John Medina) from Pear Press on Vimeo.

We have long known  that students who receive explanations in verbal and visual format generate 75% more creative solutions on problem-solving transfer tests than students who receive verbal explanations alone.

EIVL Teaching

Dr EvilA recent study  had one group of students watch EIVL (Embodied Interactive Video Lectures), while others watched a standard video lecture without an embodied interactive component. Participants then completed exercises testing their comprehension, retention, and cognitive load. The researchers found that the participants who watched the EIVL had significantly higher levels of lecture comprehension, and they retained this information better one week later than those who watched the standard video lecture. Of course, I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised by the findings, we have known about sensory integration  for a while, but this makes for a cool way to add it to your online classes. If you are looking for ways to add embodiment into your teaching, consider these 20 hand gestures.

100 Teaching Ideas

Boomerang Teaching – When students come to you and say. ‘I need help with this. I don’t get it.’ I’m going to respond with, ‘How can you help yourself? What strategy can you use that maybe you haven’t tried yet? Where should you start, because maybe you missed the real starting point? What evidence do you have to support this?’ If they say, ‘Is this right? Should I do this this way?’ I can say, ‘Well, what evidence do you have?’ We don’t want their automatic response to a struggle to be, ‘I need help from a teacher,’ or ‘I need help from a parent.’ We want them to help themselves.”
