Tools for Student-Paced Learning

#EduDuctTape Question

What tools can I use to create a student-paced learning environment?

This infographic is titled #EduDuctTape Question, Chapter 9: What tools can I use to create a student-paced learning environment? It includes a picture of the Educational Duct Tape book along with the logos for the apps and sites that are included. The text of the body reads "Schoology - Organize assignments, materials, links, and resources into folders, then kick it up a notch with the use of their robust assessments tools, gradebook, and Student Completion Rules that’ll manage the entire process! Eduflow (formerly Peergrade) - Students complete sequential tasks including watching videos, submitting files, peer or self-review, and reflecting on feedback in this streamlined, freemium tool. You can even differentiate learning paths and see your students’ progress. Seesaw - Post a series of activities and assignments in this learning management system, digital portfolio, and teacher-parent-student communication hybrid. You can even include video and voice instructions, drawing activities, and more. Docs, Word, Slides, PowerPoint, Sheets, Excel. Google Sites - Use your existing Google account to create a free website and link (or even embed) all of your resources. Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams - Organize assignments sequentially in your LMS. You can even assign things only to the students who are ready for them. Wakelet - Easily add any content and rearrange it by dragging and dropping. Use images and text to break up units or assignments. Easily add video with Flipgrid Shorts."
We know from Daniel Pink’s work showcased in his book Drive that human beings are motivated by 3 principles: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. A student-paced learning environment leverages two of those–autonomy and purpose–to motivate students and, in the process, grow their responsibility, reduce behavior problems, and free you up to guide the learning and provide feedback.

This infographic showcases multiple tools that can be used to manage a student-paced learning environment.

7 Tools for Creating Visuals and Infographics

#EduDuctTape Question

What tools can my students use to create visuals and infographics?

This infographic features the #EduDuctTape Question "What tools can my students use to create visuals?" In the response, which is shown on a tablet screen, is the following text "Canva - A great teacher interface and unlimited templates, fonts, photos, videos, graphics, and icons are all in the free education version, along with collaboration and the ability to add graphs or pull in content from other apps. Adobe Spark - Adobe doesn’t offer collaboration or classroom management features, but their free education plans do offer plenty of templates, music, photos, and fonts in their easy-to-use Post and Page tools. Piktochart - This option is great for creating charts from dynamic or imported data and for turning graphics into presentations, but it’s free plan is limited. Venngage - This tool is great for data visualization and infographics, but doesn’t offer a free education plan. Google Slides, Google Drawings, or Microsoft PowerPoint - Easy-to-use, free, and familiar!" The rest of the image shows the logos for the apps and sites that were mentioned as well as some books a cup with 2 paint brushes in it, and a Black girl laying on her stomach and using a stylus to draw on a tablet.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” This quote, typically credited to Albert Einstein (though likely erroneously), perfectly sums up why creating simple visual representations of understanding may be a perfect assessment tool. If a student can demonstrate comprehension of a concept in a simple, visually-appealing graphic, they likely have a firm grasp of it (and also have a knack for a skill that is valuable in our society).

#EduDuctTape 📖 Sketchnote Chapter 13

This sketchnote includes the title "Tissues, Drips, and 8 Years. #EduDuctTape." It shows Jake holding a box of tissues and a faucet dripping water. It includes the text "Making a major change in your practice does not happen overnight. - S. Roshan." and "Focused Persistence, Drip by Drip. - S. Godin" and, finally, "Commitment Now = Habit Later."

Well, it’s the end of an era. My final Jen Giffen #EduDuctTape sketchnote to share. And what better one to end on: the last chapter of my book and the one that was my favorite to write.

Sometimes it feels like writing just pours out of you. This chapter was like that for me.

It includes one of my family’s favorite funny stories–about my daughter when she was 2 years old–one of my favorite things to remind educators of–improving your practice is a marathon, not a sprint–a quote from one of my favorite EdTech voices–Stacey Roshan–and a quote from one of my favorite sources of inspiration–Seth Godin.

This image shows the cover of the book Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset. The cover is blue and shows the title in orange lettering on duct tape. It also shows the text "Your Guide to Selecting the Right Tools for Your Classroom" and includes Jake Miller's name.As always, you’ll have to get the book to hear the whole thing, but Jen’s sketchnote should give you a pretty good idea of what it’s about and a reminder of what you should expect yourself: focused persistence, not overnight reinvention.

I had discovered that many of my students weren’t actually watching the screencasts that were a part of my class.

#EduDuctTape 📖 Sketchnote Chapter 11

This sketchnote features the title "Panicked Teenagers, Due Dates, and Calendars. #EduDuctTape." A flowchart of images show a bubble with the text "Know Better, Do Better Cycle Revisited" connected with an arrow to a laptop with "8/40 Complete" on it connected by an arrow to a male student saying "I am stressed about your class" connected with an arrow to Jake standing by a calendar. Beside all of this is the text "Remember! Being impressive is not the goal. Being effective is."Recently, I shared a sketchnote about the Know Better, Do Better Cycle. My first “Know Better, Do Better” step was realizing that my teacher-paced course wasn’t working. So I turned it into a student-paced course.  Then, as that sketchnote showcased, I discovered that I wasn’t noticing all students’ questions and struggles quickly enough. So, I added a Google Form.

This new sketchnote shows the next iteration of that cycle. I discovered that some of my students were stressed out by the idea of managing their own pace in my class. This sketchnote hints at my solution: a calendar.

#EduDuctTape 📖 Sketchnote Chapter 10

This image shows the cover of the book Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset. The cover is blue and shows the title in orange lettering on duct tape. It also shows the text "Your Guide to Selecting the Right Tools for Your Classroom" and includes Jake Miller's name.When I was a STEM teacher, my pedagogy, curriculum, and strategies were constantly evolving through a pattern that I call the Know Better, Do Better Cycle. It’s based on Dr. Maya Angelou’s famous quote “Do the best you can until you know better and then when you know better, do better.”

In Chapter 10, of Educational Duct Tape: An EdTech Integration Mindset I share how, after turning my STEM course into a student-paced one, I was able to uncover new opportunities for improvement. This chapter–and the sketchnote below–showcases one of those “opportunities”: occasionally, I didn’t discover that kids were confused until the very end of class! How exactly did I solve this problem? How did I do better? The sketchnote below gives you a peek, but you’ll have to grab your copy of the book to hear the full solution!

This sketchnote has the title "Classroom Walks, Quiet Students, and Dr. Angelou, Again." It also features the phrase "Know Better, Do Better Cycle." It shows a cycle of a laptop with the words "student paced course," a student saying "I don't understand," Jake shrugging his shoulders and saying "What can I do better?," and, finally, a Google Forms logo.
