It’s July 5th everyone, and no rest for the wicked I suppose. I’ve been thinking about student engagement once again the last week or so and came across these interesting short pieces on YouTube by John Spencer:
Shift from Engaging to Empowering Learners — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYBJQ5rIFjA
10 Ways to Empower Students with Choice — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L08wNizulOY
We might use some of the ideas Spencer presents here to revise our approach to motivating and engaging our students. An interesting point to mull over during the dog days of summer.
